Celebration of Place - New Works by Donald Jurney

Combining nostalgic memory that is rooted in a sense of ephemeral familiarity alongside sensitive observation of place, Donald Jurney’s work is an exploration of the romantic possibilities of painting. His personal approach to painting is both imaginative and metaphorical, and the resulting image is a purposeful and precise reconstruction of the emotional contents of a specific time and place. Infused with depth, mood, and investigative possibilities, his paintings are designed to re-inspire and renew the viewer’s wonder for their surroundings. Created using masterful handling of paint and color, and a skillful combination of dry brush, impasto, and glazing techniques, Jurney’s work is singular in the way it combines the landscape traditions of the Barbizon and Hudson River Schools with influences from late 19th and early 20th century French and American Impressionism.
