"Sights Unseen" by Gerard Erley · Opening Reception
Join us for the opening reception for our newest art exhibit in the Gallery at the Koger Center! "Sights Unseen" features works by local painter Gerard Erley. Gerard creates his imaginary landscapes in oil paint on canvas and panels. He rarely refers to photos or sketches, preferring to paint in the studio from memory and intuition. The artist is influenced by such 19th-century American and European painters as George Inness, Corot, and Turner. Like them, he seeks a sublime quality of light in his romantic landscapes.
The reception is from 5:30 - 7 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
Admission Cost: Free.
