The Sea and The Shore

“THE SEA AND THE SHORE”: Marine Oil Paintings by Christopher Volpe

Through the months of January and February, Kennedy Gallery will present The Sea and The Shore, a two-month show of marine oil paintings by noted local artist Christopher Volpe. Ranging in size from inches to feet, Volpe’s paintings evolve from earlier studies and plein air work. Using the natural world as a metaphor for human experience, Volpe said “I’m painting the ocean, but it feels more like I’m trying to make these little snapshots of eternity. For me, in this series, I’m trying to express in contemporary terms what it feels like to experience our smallness in the face of the vastness of time and nature at its most elemental.”
