Inaugural Show
Les Lyden
Lyden is a Mobile AL native currently living outside of Fairhope Alabama. He is a graduate of the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, studying also in Germany and New York City. His work draws heavily on the influence of the many waterways and abundant wildlife of the Alabama coast and Perdido bay, where he spent summers as a child and now calls home. His bold paintings capture the intense colors of water, with reflections of landscape and sky. They are vigorous in their execution capturing consecutive movements merged to one scene.
Stephen Richardson
Richardson grew up in Concord Massachusetts. He received a bachelor of Fine Arts from the Swain School of Design in New Bedford MA in 1986. His post graduate studies include the Parson’s School of Design in New York. He has lived in New Orleans with his wife Lisa since 1993, father of two sons, Jared and Thomas.
"I have always painted the town where I live. In New Orleans I have sought to illustrate the quintessential elements and forms of our city. I try to draw attention to those parts of our environment which we see every day, yet go unnoticed and unmentioned. Often these are the things that will recall memories and feeling in ways that grand subject matter cannot: the rhythm of chimneys and rooftops; the patterns of paving stones and weather boards; the silhouettes of poles and wires; The profile of river and cloud. In time these overlooked details will inform us fully of where we have lived and what we did there.
"I hope that my work enriches our sense of this New Orleans. I see these paintings as intimate and personal. I hope to create images that are Intimately personal to the viewer, images that will be handed down through generations of families and between friends. If one of my paintings reminds you of your experience of New Orleans than I hope that same painting will remind your grandchildren of you."
