Meyer Gallery

Francis Livingston’s upcoming exhibition, “Color Wanderings,” offers a collection of new works that articulate his sophisticated approach to modernism. These paintings utilize the interplay of light, color, and form, capturing the essence of landscapes and portraits with nuanced abstraction. Livingston’s deft use of brushstrokes and his refined palette invite viewers to explore serene environments imbued with both familiarity and contemporary vitality.

Livingston’s inspiration for “Color Wanderings” stems from his lifelong interest in places where past and present intersect. His extensive work along Southwestern themes and the historical culture of Native America is reflected in this series, where natural resonance meets modernist expression. Relocating to Sun Valley, Idaho, years ago influenced his exploration of the unique light and color of western landscapes, a homage to the traditions of the Taos Founders and other eminent western artists.

In “Color Wanderings,” Livingston focuses on capturing the subtle moods and atmospheres that define a place. His modernist sensibility, influenced by the Bay Area Figurative Movement and Impressionist techniques, is evident in his compositions. He balances abstraction with realism, using simplified shapes and flattened perspectives to create works that are both visually compelling and deeply evocative. Each painting invites a contemplative engagement, offering viewers a glimpse into the artist’s perceptive interpretation of his subjects.

Livingston’s artistic evolution continues to emphasize the beauty and significance of often-overlooked places. His new works are not merely visual representations but profound explorations of memory and environment. Each piece in “Color Wanderings” tells a story, encouraging viewers to reflect on the interplay of time and space.
