Presence - The Figure in Contemporary Painting - Jeremy Long, Kurt Moyer, Kyle Staver

The Davis Gallery, Hougthon House, Hobart and William Smith Campus, Geneva, NY
The presence of figures in a painting often invites us inside. The figures present in paintings implicity tell us something about what it is to be human. But the word presence has at least one other significant meaning in the history of painting, referring to the idea that the arrangement of shapes and colors on a flat surface can produce a visual experience that is more meaningful than just the sum of its parts. This show, featuring the work of Jermy Long, Kurt Moyer, and Kyle Staver, explores the idea that beautiful figure painting is at once visually powerful and psychologically rich. The Opening Reception will take place on Friday, January 27, 7-9 PM. The Davis Gallery at Houghton House is open M-F from 9-5, Saturdays from 1-5 and closed on Sundays.
