Two Views/One Medium
Works on paper as a medium is diverse and versatile.
Immediate, dificult and gratifying, washes of color may be gently blended together or applied densely. The artist may work anywhere, not just in the confines of a studio.
While Beverly Orthwein and David Brewster approach the medium in distinctly different ways, we are delighted to have these two fine artists showing together.
We hope you enjoy the discovery as much as we do.
Lily Downing and David Yudain, October 2025

David Brewster
Sicilian Sojourn
My paintings synthesize a 200-year-old tradition of American Scene Painting into a new breaking point of abstraction in order to make sense of an increasingly bizarre and incongruous synthetic landscape.
