Featured Artist: Jarvis Wilcox
This September, we proudly present "Emotional Connections," featuring the thought-provoking paintings of Westport, Connecticut artist,
Jarvis Wilcox
.
About the Artist
Art, any art, is a unique means of communicating and experiencing intuitive and/or subjective knowledge and understanding. “As the practitioner of a non-verbal art, my first objective is to intrigue the viewer into spending enough time with the painting to absorb the atmosphere and be seduced into entering a new, unfamiliar world,” says artist, Jarvis Wilcox.
“The art in painting is not simply the presentation of an object or objects so that the viewer is wowed by the trompe l'oeil or the virtuosity of execution, but an exploration of interactions of the objects represented as well as their relationships to their surroundings—the haunting echoes of relationships in the everyday experience of the viewer,” explains Wilcox.
In other words, he believes that the poetry of painting lies not in the images presented so much as in the emotional connections stimulated. This is the goal of Wilcox each time he paints. He communicates the excitement, the delight, and the insight he discovers in seeing his subjects as he creates.
Wilcox has held extensive solo exhibitions, including at the Pequot Library and Southport Galleries in Southport, CT; Vanderbilt Gallery and John Evans Studio in Nantucket, MA; and Edward Hopper House in Nyack, NY to name a few.
His exhibit runs September 3 - 28 and his paintings are available for acquisition. All are welcome and admission is free. To view some of his work, visit our
online gallery
