The work of Durieux has been characterized in the last 25 years by the tranquil French landscapes. His enthusiasts enjoy it and stand in the gallery with their nose on top of the drawings and paintings. However, there is a special novelty to report for this exhibition!

The surroundings of the hamlet, the villages and landscapes in the immediate vicinity have been established by Peter Durieux for years. Peter does...

Blue Statue, 2020 "For Blackburn, the Western’s heroic drama, good-versus-evil narrative, and assertive landscape are challenges to face in her work. These aspects of film can overwhelm a painting, thus distancing the viewer from the art. She wants the art to be dominant; “Painting wins,” she declares. She finds this happens when a painting possesses what she terms “classical balance.” By this the artist means that everything is where it needs to be compositionally—nothing can be changed—and “the whole can be seen at once.” Linda Blackburn...
