Ocean Galleries, 9618 Third Ave., Stone Harbor will host an exceptional two-artist show July 31 through Aug. 2, featuring nature artists Brian O’Neill and Hamilton Aguiar.
The artists will both be on hand during special meet-and-greet wine and cheese receptions to talk with art lovers about their respective, unique styles of art.
O’Neill is renowned for his paintings of flowers, and Aguiar is celebrated for his paintings of trees. Both artists approach and interpret their paintings with fresh eyes and a rare perspective.
“My paintings are very reminiscent of the old Masters,” says O’Neill. “Using multiple, translucent layers, they create a mood, a romance and a little darkness.”
The Brazilian-born Aguiar applies silver and copper leaf over the entire background of his linen canvases, then creates washes and shadows with oil paints, radiating a dramatic light due to the juxtaposition of the richness of the oil and mercurial nature of the metals.
Receptions will be held from 7-10 p.m. July 31 and Aug. 1, plus another on Aug. 2 from 1-4 p.m.
Ocean Galleries will also be hosting a meet the artists at the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary July 31 at 11 a.m.
