- Additional Information -

Owen Gray presents new oil paintings based on dual concerns with landscape and fantasy in his latest exhibition  at Blue Mountain Gallery.

Gray relies upon his imagination and astute sense of observation to create  the fertile images and lush life of the tropics. These latest paintings  provide a means of recapturing the energy of the balance between the fragile  environment and its creatures at a different time of the day. His latest reflections show how voluptuous life can exist in a harsh environment.

One group of paintings reflects the artist's respect and concern for how  forest fires can claim the natural environment. His larger more luminous  paintings explore the sometimes hostile, sometimes friendly interactions  between monkeys and reptiles in pieces such as "Confrontations."

These new paintings were inspired by visits to South Florida wild life.
