In the fall of 2009, award-winning painters with roots and homes from across the United States and from Mexico, Ireland, Bulgaria, and Russia met in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for a creative convergence that will be showcased this winter at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis and at the Addison Art Gallery in Orleans.
Inspired by San Miguel de Allende's art colony and the region's magnificent landscape, these 15 artists created wonderfully diverse plein air works. The artists will bring their works together for these exclusive Cape shows. The artists will include Jeff Bonasia, Scott Burdick, Daniel Corey, Frank Gardner, Jerome Greene, Logan Hagege, Marc Hanson, Ignat Ignatov, Peter Kalill, Jeremy Lipking, Kevin McNamara, Ernesto Nemesio, Colin Page, Paul Schulenburg, and Alexey Steele.
"Impressionist landscape painters are drawn to the beauty of light falling across the landscape. We live at a time when this art has reached a high level of excellence. Since the 19th century, Cape Cod had been a center for plein air painting because of the special quality of its light and sculptural aspects," says Elizabeth Ives Hunter, executive director of the Cape Cod Museum of Art. "It is a rare treat to see an internationally trained group of impressionist painters focus on one of the other amazing regions of the world."
"Once again, Addison Art Gallery has the privilege of presenting the work of internationally renowned painters on Cape Cod," says Helen Addison, owner of Addison Art Gallery. "These accomplished artists have created inspired interpretations of subjects, ranging from sun-soaked portraits and town vignettes to sweeping landscapes. Together in this exhibition, these diverse incarnations offer an integrated sense of a magical place, its people, and their lives."
