Searching for a Bigger Subject
Open through February 16
Landscape painter Tony Foster is well-known for his intricate and intimate paintings portraying wild areas where he has journeyed. In Searching for a Bigger Subject, Foster went higher, farther and bigger than ever before, juxtaposing the world’s vastest canyon against the world’s tallest mountain. The journey is a literal examination of the greatest of all wild landscapes—the Grand Canyon (USA) and Mount Everest (Nepal and Tibet). Given the subject matter, many of this journey’s paintings necessitated a large format and are incredibly dramatic, spectacular works. Foster managed to capture the immensity of these landmarks while retaining their integral details.
