New Paintings by Boyd Gavin
“I compose with feeling as much as I do with color or line”
The John Natsoulas Gallery is proud to exhibit the newest painting by Boyd Gavin, from September 26 to October 27, 2018.
Boyd Gavin paints in a very straightforward manner, with a loose brushstroke and bright palette that lends itself well to painting small, easily recognizable objects such as crayons and marbles. He shines a beautiful light on his subjects, bringing them into soft focus through his delicate application of paint and blending of color.
He says “I am drawn to the quirky shorthand style of artists like Fairfield Porter or David Park, artists who seem to invest even the homeliest of subjects with an offhand grandeur.”
