Jeremy has been painting local and international landscapes for more than two decades. Inspired by the Impressionists, as well as contemporary realists like CW Mundy, he creates landscapes filled with intense color and a variety of paint textures and marks.
This exhibition features paintings of local scenes, painted almost entirely during the pandemic and lockdown.
Starting the day of the shutdown, scenes of neighborhood sunsets, views over the reservoir, and sunrises over neighboring farmland have all taken on new significance at a time when nobody was allowed to go anywhere.
The backyard scenes stem from contradicting emotions; gratitude for having a place to go and be safe, wonder at the simple beauty of a sunset, but also claustrophobia and frustration at not being able to leave. The goal of these paintings is to brighten the space around them.
The Art Gallery at City Hall, 1 Municipal Drive, Fishers, is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, and Saturdays during Fishers Summer Farm Market. Groups are invited with advance notice.
