This is the final weekend to see ‘Spur’, Olivia Wargo’s debut exhibition of paintings and drawings.

‘Walking the Spur’, 2024. Oil on canvas. 16 x 20 inches.

In paintings that oscillate between the real and the imaginary, Wargo insists on the emotional and aesthetic importance of the landscape.

In the past few years, Wargo has spent extensive time traveling in the western United States visiting family in Los Angeles, CA and Galisteo, NM. During her travels, she takes photographs and makes en plein air water colors which she uses as source material for her oil paintings.

Olivia Wargo (b. 1996, Los Angeles, CA) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Wargo received her B.A in Studio Arts from Hampshire College.

The gallery is open this weekend, Saturday and Sunday from noon - 6p.

Stop by to see ‘Spur’, a show of paintings and drawings by Olivia Wargo.

Olivia Wargo looks to the natural world as the ultimate source of inspiration for her drawings and paintings. Influenced by the Transcendental Painting Group in New Mexico and the Abstract Expressionism Movement in New York, Wargo merges the impulses of representational and abstract painting to depict scenes filled with vivid colors and shifting compositions. She engages with motifs such as plants, flowers, mountains, and skies in order to understand and mimic the vocabulary of nature, while allowing her own dream-like associations and memories to influence their depictions. In paintings that oscillate between the real and the imaginary, Wargo insists on the emotional and aesthetic importance of the landscape.

On view until February 4th.

Lovely show at a lovely neighborhood gallery (@thomasvandykegallery) spotlighting local artists, many of whom were new to me. Easily my favorite was In Fluorescent Dreams, @_louiswatts' magnificent charcoal composition at the top of slide #3, but I loved all of these. I wanted to eat Ji Yong Kim's lovely oil painting in slides #5 and 6.

Each painting is tagged with the artist in question, and my terrible photos are not representative of their excellent art.
