Conversations with Whit

The Lionheart Gallery Hosts Exhibiting Artist Talk on March 22

Whit Conrad Reveals Inspirations Behind His Whimsical Art

Pound Ridge, NY– (March 19, 2015) If you’ve ever wondered what the artist was thinking when he painted the pictures you see hanging in thought provoking contemporary art galleries like Pound Ridge’s The Lionheart Gallery, then here’s your chance to ask the artist himself. Susan Grissom, director of the gallery, and artist Whit Conrad, whose solo exhibition opened on March 7 and ends on April 26, are hosting an Artist’s Talk on Sunday, March 22, from 1 PM – 3 PM. RSVPS are requested by calling 914.764.8689.

Whit Conrad, whose provocative oil paintings depict satirical renderings of daily life from dinner parties to goat farms, debuted his work to a record crowd on the opening night of the exhibition, selling 6 pieces in the first weeks of the exhibition. See his head-turning portraits in person, find out what was inside his head when he painted them and learn how he successfully painted a new career for himself after his successful 36-year legal career.

The conversation is bound to be as witty and full of wisdom as the hosts themselves, both accomplished artists with stunning portfolios and fascinating backgrounds.
