This group exhibition features five artists from the Pioneer Valley, each of whom find their subject matter working outside. Frank Gregory is one of the artists and the curator of the exhibition. When the idea for this show began, he looked closely at the work of many painters, trying to put together a cohesive, yet diverse group of artists that all work outside in the Pioneer Valley with the same urgency and commitment. Several he considered only occasionally paint outside, preferring to work from photographs. Others often paint outside, but not in the valley. The four artists Frank chose, plus himself, all work plein air, under the same conditions of light and weather, yet they all have their own specific formal concerns and unique visual vocabularies. This is an exhibition that compares and contrasts these elements and amplifies their particular ways of looking at a familiar landscape.

As we all continue to endure the length and challenge of the pandemic, it is refreshing to be opening the gallery this Spring with a group of painters who have been able to continue their practice of painting outside
