"FROM THE CLASSIC LOOK of Peter Fiore's landscapes to the versatility of Dan Back's figures to Marc Hanson's mood-filled panaramas, each and every one of these paintings has a timeless and universal quality" says Shannon Hanna, owner of RS Hanna Gallery in historic
Fredericksburg, TX, where the three-person show titled Timeless Expressions runs throughout October. An artist's reception is on Friday, Octover 5, from 6 to 8 pm.
Fiore's new work focuses on "the essence of things," he says, "It's a point of view that is about light, emotion, and how the scene resonates with me. I try to simplify by not making it site-specific but rather by making a universal statement that transcends a particular place and is more eternal and universal. I'm painting moods." His 10 new paintings for the show evoke a sense of calm and quiet, with depictions of sycamore and birch trees at sunset, open fields and meadows, and winter landscapes with meandering streams. Autumn Ramble, a 36-by-60-inch painting, holds special meaning for Fiore. After a bad car accident, he couldn't paint for a long time and would photograph subject matter instead. "I found a tree I liked and thought about designs and compositions for it. But the tree was burned in a fire. At first I was saddened but the tree came back stronger. It was an important symbol for my health," he says.
