John Morrell. "John Morrell - Here and Then." J. Morrell. One-person exhibition:John Morrell Here and Then. Addison-Ripley Fine Arts Gallery. Washington, D.C. June 12 - July 17, 2010.
The work in "Here and Then" presents vistas from New York, Rhode Island, Maine, Washington, DC, Canada and France in climates ranging from high summer to frigid mid-winter. The effects of light and wind, shadow and reflection are often the subjects of these paintings. Subtle tones and augmented ones play on Morrell's canvases and works on paper. These new works are at once familiar and surprisingly fresh; they explore the lessons of the great American landscape painters and, at the same time, feel rooted firmly in the present. Studies for many of the larger paintings are included in this exhibition, offering significant insight into the artist's process, a window into the intricate layering that is utilized in the final works.
