Graham Nickson and Giorgio Cavallon Exhibitions at Salander-O'Reilly Galleries Through April 30
At Salander-O'Reilly Galleries in New York, two simultaneous painting exhibitions will run until April 30, 2005. Graham Nickson presents his ninth exhibition, showcasing large works such as "Edge Bathers" (1983-2005) and "Theoria" (1989-2005), emphasizing intricate drawing and striking composition. As the Dean of the New York Studio School, Nickson constructs his paintings from smaller panels, incorporating landscapes like "Dark Island Dawn, Jade Sea" (2004). Meanwhile, on the first floor, Giorgio Cavallon's exhibit features eleven abstract pieces created over the past forty years. Born in Italy in 1904 and moving to the U.S. in 1920, Cavallon studied with Charles Hawthorne and Hans Hofmann, creating works that play with uneven color blocks and relationships, including notable pieces from 1948 and the 1950s.
