Altamira Fine Art Jackson
Altamira Fine Art is pleased
to present the first major solo exhibition for David Grossmann at our Jackson gallery July 1729, 2017. In Search of Stillness will feature 30 new oil paintings that highlight the artists’ signature style and favorite subjects —as well as explore new palettes and techniques. David’s ethereal interpretations of Mt. Moran and the Tetons take the popular subjects to new heights. His thoughtful use of color and simplified shapes breath fresh life into quintessential Wyoming Pre-sales available. Call (307) 739-4700 or email connect@altamiraart.com
imagery including aspens, deer and snowfall. The artist often paints on location, with studies used as references for larger pieces, finished in the studio. In Search of Stillness will include larger works than previously shown, with canvases measuring up to 60 x 40 inches. A quiet grace is evident throughout David’s luminous works, and there is a meditative quality which embodies the show’s apropos title and theme, In Search of Stillness.

ART CATALOG “I paint in search of stillness, reaching for an inner calm that overcomes the upheaval of life. My hope is to connect with the peace and the beauty that surround us, and to convey that connection to anyone else who might also be searching.� -David Grossmann
