Healdsburg artist Jerry Anderson to Exhibit in NYC Art Show

Jerry Anderson’s acrylic paintings explore the relationships between nature, the human form, and the divine. His work, which is informed by the California hills where he lives, features skyscapes, landscapes, and the human form in strong reds, oranges, and blues. The edge of a cloud might share its shape with the curve of a woman’s back, or with the waves of her hair. The paintings, which collectively make use of similar colors, shapes, and moods, are derived from Anderson’s exploration of shamanism, religion, philosophy, psychology, and music. Though generally abstract in nature, Anderson’s work offers a tangible subject, radiating out as a sensory invitation that he hopes will “remind the viewer of the wonder and oneness of all things, and especially the sacredness of their own divinity.”

Anderson studied at Rice University and The University of Oklahoma. His work has been featured in Art Tour International, Energia Creativa, and Rivierart. He has also received the Premio Bertelli award at the 2013 Little Treasures exhibition in Bologna.

About the Exhibition

Contemporary Perspectives: An Artistic Study in Dimensionality

The artists in the exhibition Contemporary Perspectives are masters at distorting or reproducing dimensionality in order to invent captivating worlds of acrylics, pigments, oils, and watercolor. With the occasionally abstracting element, these artists explore the universes of nature and humanity in landscapes, still lifes, and human scenes. Though these artists are clearly aware of and occasionally referential to the art history that has come before, they each offer a refreshing signature twist on their subjects, forging an entirely new territory.
