Eric Merrell’s focus is on the in-between times of the day, when the sun dips down behind a mountain, but hasn’t fully set. His mastery in capturing those moments of fading light results in subtle textures and ambient glowing lights. “It’s a step away from the heroic scenery so commonly associated with the West,” Merrell states. While on location the artist will take quick notes in paint, graphite, or watercolor, with the hopes of gathering all the necessary information to help create a finished work back in his Southern California studio. Merrell loves the desert and is familiar with many of the plants and animals that inhabit the locations. You’ll often find him alone in a remote location with his paints, portable easel, umbrella – and sometimes a headlamp when painting at night.

David Grossmann’s paintings in the current exhibition focus on fleeting moments. The fading colors of dusk or first light of dawn, changing moon cycles hold a special force in the eye of the artist. “…A stronger reminder of what has passed and what is yet to come,” says Grossmann. It is at these times of the day that the artist feels most alive and most connected to the landscape. It is what he tries to convey best in his paintings. Many of the scenes are from the Colorado / Utah border, near his home. One scene depicted in the exhibit is of the Grand Mesa, the largest flat top mountain in the world. The scenery is vast, the artist finds the calming moments in a monumental scene.

DAVID GROSSMANN & ERIC MERRELL Dual Exhibition Opening Reception in our Downtown LA Gallery  March 14, 2020 6-8PM Early Preview Available by Request Subtleties and the ability to know when it stop are some of the most important skills an artist possesses. If you have ever visited the desert then you know the loud deafening sounds of silence and the mind-expanding vastness of space.  It is a feeling that cannot be captured in a photograph.  It’s the reason artists have been traveling to these remote areas to paint from life – and interpret not just what they see, but what they feel. On March 14th, David Grossmann and Eric Merrell's dual exhibition will open featuring over 12 paintings of unique perspectives on the American Western landscape. Both artists frequently travel to paint on location.  @ericmerrell’s focus is on the in-between times of the day, when the sun dips down behind a mountain, but hasn’t fully set.  His mastery in capturing those moments of fading light results in subtle textures and ambient glowing lights. “It’s a step away from the heroic scenery so commonly associated with the West,” Merrell states.
