Realism Now: Cityscapes
SEP 16 - OCT 30  
EMERSON GALLERY

Opening Reception and Gallery Talk
Thursday, SEP 16 7- 9 PM

Curated by painter and Corcoran College of Art + Design Professor Joey P. Mánlapaz, (image on right) this exhibit features work by
three painters who draw on the city as subject matter to
produce paintings executed in a photorealist style. Says
Mánlapaz, “As a painter who focuses on Washington, D.C.
cityscape, I sought fellow contemporary artists who paint cityscapes in the same style. Denis Peterson of New York and Glenn M. Moreton of Maryland both exemplify cityscape photorealism at its best. The precision, color and exactitude they use in representing their respective cities are rich in technique and composition.”
