Susan Shatter's Monumental Watercolor Landscapes and Stuart Shils' Intimate Monotypes Exhibited in New York

In 2006, two distinct exhibitions in New York City highlighted various artistic interpretations of landscapes and urban environments. At DFN Gallery, Susan Shatter showcased expansive watercolor landscapes, including 'High Desert I' (2005) and 'Crash' (2006), which illustrated the desolate canyons of the Southwest and the shores of Maine. Meanwhile, at Davis & Langdale Company, Inc., Stuart Shils exhibited smaller monotypes from 2006, capturing scenes from locations such as Philadelphia, Ireland, Israel, Vermont, and Indiana, with works like 'From Guy's Balcony, Ahad Ha'am Street #1' and 'Rooftops, Night Descending.' Shatter focused on fluidity and elemental settings, while Shils emphasized texture and color dynamics, together celebrating the luminosity of watercolor.
