Opening November 22nd - Greg Mort and Jon Mort PANORAMAS at Somerville Manning Gallery by Greg Mort Collection

Somerville Manning Gallery

Opening November 22, 2019

GREG MORT & JON MORT ~ PANORAMAS

Opening Reception November 22nd, 2019, from 5:30 to 7:30

Exhibition: Friday, November 22, 2019, to Saturday, December 21, 2019

The title PANORAMAS was chosen to represent this collection because the word evokes more than a single or narrow view; it can mean a combined perspective of respective but interwoven journeys. In our case, it acknowledges the particular experience of a father and son who are creating and reflecting on each other's work in real-time. And because the word can define more than the reach of a view of the landscape, it includes the idea of a narrative panorama, further emphasizing a connection between the past and the future.

The collection of work in the exhibit reflects that variety, encouraging participants as partners in that reflection. In that sense, the title touches a deep and central motivation of the artistic process: to examine the past and question the future, and thus generate analysis and dialogue in and of the present.

Greg Mort - LIGHT water+stone - New Paintings by Greg Mort Collection

Thoughts from Greg Mort

With each exhibition, an artist strives to explore and discover

an unfamiliar set of parameters or inspirations. LIGHT Water + Stone has offered a most thought-provoking and rewarding challenge. The pure simplicity and distillation of the concept demand extreme focus and scrutiny. Subtleties take on greater importance even rising to the level of the sublime.

The LIGHT Water + Stone paintings have come to life with each watercolor presenting itself in a dreamlike mode. I strive for each image to balance on the very edge of the elements of pure

light and at the same time feel a connection or cohesiveness drawn from my favorite subjects in vivo. My quest is to understand the multitude of infinite tones and nearly imperceptible colors that dwell in what we often describe as the colorless pigment "white". Every painting seeks a full understanding of the play between shadow and transparency as well as direct and reflected light in this understated realm.

With each new image, my subconscious is now able to reveal the once invisible apparent form, which is paramount and equally profound and focus on the more elusive refinements. The final quest: to paint the invisible elements of Light. My hope is that the Water Light +Stone collection unveils this interplay in a universe that is confined but in its own way infinite. It is, as it should be, an experiment in perception, a quest for revelation and a sojourn into the heart of human emotion.

MORTS OPEN SUNSET SEMINAR SERIES IN CAMDEN MAINE by Greg Mort Collection

The Camden Yacht Club will open the 2018 Sunset Seminar Series on Wednesday, July 11 at 7:PM with artists Greg Mort and Jon Mort who will reflect on the powerful influence Maine’s natural wonders and mysteries have had on their artistic development.This father and son artistic duo work together in their Port Clyde summer studio but each creates in a very separate universe.

Greg Mort is a widely recognized American contemporary artist whose unmistakably modern creations have the classic feel of the Dutch Masters juxtaposed with startlingly modern designs. His signature images combine his twin passions for science and nature. Founding The Art of Stewardship Project (TAOS) he took this effort to a higher level, encouraging other artists to use their talents to collaborate and support environmental organizations.

Mort’s artwork is in many prominent collections including the Smithsonian, National Gallery of Art, Boston Museum of Science, Delaware Art Museum, Farnsworth Museum,
Academy Art Museum, Portland Museum of Art, Brandywine River Museum
and the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum. The United States

Department of State’s Art in Embassies program has selected many of his paintings for their cultural diplomacy efforts including an exhibition at The White House. Mort’s artwork has been exhibited in over one hundred museum and gallery shows around the world.

Millennial artist Jon Mort has received broad acclaim for his startlingly realistic colored pencil and large-scale graphite images and is also a
highly sought-after portrait artist. Captivated by design and drawing since childhood, Jon received Fine Art and Classics degrees from Franklin and Marshall College and his Masters in Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design

Jon’s creations have been shown in exhibitions at the Phillips
Museum, the Portsmouth Museum of Art, and recently in a one-person exhibition titled “Living Legends” at the Sandy Spring Museum in Maryland. He has participated in twenty one-person or group museum and gallery exhibitions. His 2017–18 winter show “New Horizons” at Somerville Manning Gallery is featured in November 2017 American Art Collector Magazine.

This presentation is the 1st in a series of 8 hosted by the Camden Yacht Club and is
free of charge and open to the public. Donations at the door will be gratefully accepted, to benefit the non-profit Camden Area Youth Seamanship Program (CAYSP). For more information, please contact the CYC office at 207-236-7033 or visit our web site: camdenyachtclub.org.
