The Geary Gallery has extended hours this fall. We are now open to the public Tuesdays – Saturdays, 9:30am – 5:00pm.

Welcome to the November issue of the Geary Gallery Guide. The best paintings capture a moment in time, reflect the light of that moment, and contemplate the place where it happened. That is the subject of our November exhibit featuring award-winning realist painter and Brooklyn, NY resident, Nick Savides. We invite you to come see his “Contemplating Time, Light and Place” exhibit, through November at the Geary Gallery.

In other exciting news, we’d like to invite you to check out our newly re-lauched website! Our new home page features a rotating gallery of the works of our latest exhibiting artist, and our online gallery displays larger pictures to truly appreciate the work of our artists — so beautiful you’ll want to stare at it all day! We hope you enjoy and please feel free to let us know what you think.

Thank you for your continuing patronage and for referring us to your friends! This Holiday season, we ask that you think of Geary Gallery and Accent Picture Framing when you are searching for gifts for yourself or a loved one, whether you need a treasured photograph or painting framed, you’re searching for a unique work of art, or are commissioning an original portrait.

Featured Artist, November 2013
Nick Savides

Award-winning realist painter and Brooklyn, NY resident, Nick Savides, learned to paint from his mother at three years old, and never stopped. Inspired by the works of Edward Hopper, the quiet energy within his art captures a palpable sensation of both light and place. After graduating with Highest Honors in Fine Arts from Brandeis University, Savides began a career as an American Realist painter. Starting out, he focused on paintings of people in interior settings, drawing on Jan Vermeer as an influence. It was then that the effects of light became — and stayed — a key ingredient in his paintings.

Savides’ paintings encompass urban scenes and architecture, landscapes and nature. His paintings capture a sense of time and place with a certain understatement, as many of the titles would suggest, such as “Wall Street — Early Morning” or “Grand Canyon at Sunrise." They grip you by inviting you in with the familiar, and showing you more than you expected. As Val Schaffner wrote, “Beyond the carefully rendered beauty, complexity, and calm of his art, there is mystery: a sense of something about to be discovered.”

Since his first solo show in 1980, Savides has exhibited in many group and solo shows in New York City and upstate New York, as well as Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California, where he had a retrospective at Berkeley College from March 5 to April 27, 2012.

His work is included in numerous private and public collections, and was featured on June Middleton’s “Minding Your Business,” which aired on the Manhattan Neighborhood Network in 2010. Savides has been published twice by Nabi Press, featuring urban images of New York City and Paris, as well as landscapes of upstate New York.

To view Nick Savides’ paintings, visit our online gallery.

The Nick Savides exhibit runs from November 1–30, and his paintings are available for acquisition. All are welcome, and admission is free. Geary Gallery is open to the public Tuesdays – Saturdays, 9:30am – 5:00pm, and is located at 576 Boston Post Road in Darien, CT, 06820.
