Kessler In ‘Reflections Of Nature’

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — The Schomburg Gallery recently presented “Reflections of Nature,” an exhibition that represented the West Coast debut for Newtown artist Glenn Kessler and New York artist Mikel Wintermantel. The exhibition was on view in Santa Monica until June 11, but can still be seen in part at www.SchomburgGallery.com.

Mr Kessler romantically portrays the Connecticut coastline. Calves Pasture, Sherwood Island, Niantic and Sprite Island are among the locales depicted in Mr Kessler’s beautifully rendered oil paintings. His works capture a day at the shore, with sunbathers and their umbrellas set against the peace and solitude of the shoreline. His renderings of clouds are particularly atmospheric and sensitively capture the fleeting nature of time.

Mr Kessler was born in New York City and studied art at Art Students League of New York. He currently works out of his studio in Newtown, Old Road Studios.

He has exhibited extensively in museums and galleries including New Britain Museum of American Art, The Mattatuck Museum, Pound Edge Museum, The Slater Museum and The Salmagundi Club.
