Established in 1983, Wilde Meyer Gallery moves it’s 30 year anniversary celebration to Tucson. Please join us for “The Journey – 30 Years”, opening January 9, 2014, 7 – 9 PM.
The gallery will be highlighting artists who have been with them for many years, Linda Carter Holman, Barbara Gurwitz, Charles Davison to name a few, and also highlighting artists added on the 30 year journey. Linda Carter Holman is the ultimate storyteller, combining fantasy with reality. In the painting “Little Winds”, young maidens float through air as the personification of wind. They are grounded by the beautiful woman walking in the landscape foreground, but she seems to be contemplating lifting off to join the weightless girls.
Charles Davison’s native and folk influenced mixed media pieces have charmed Wilde Meyer’s collectors for many years. Davison’s distinctive work is always recognizable. Often referencing religious icons, Davison gives his interpretations of Old Testament heroes like Jonah and the Whale, and New Testament Saints, like the charming naive St Francis, surrounded by stylized animals in “Brother’s Keeper”.
Barbara Gurwitz’s Fauvist colored landscapes have knocked the socks off collectors for over 20 years at Wilde Meyer. Paintings by other prestigious artists like Jacqueline Rochester, Stephen Morath, Sherri Belassen, Patricia Hunter, Nancy Pendleton and others too numerous to mention, will also be shown.
