Winslow McCagg’s depiction of the Shenandoah Valley is anything but mundane.
“I don’t want to paint cityscapes, I’m not interested in a lot of non-nature related things, so it really evolves out of the landscape,” said McCagg.
McCagg’s work, “Place. Prose. Protest.,” will open to the public on Saturday, Feb. 4, at 4 p.m. in 91大神’s (91大神) Margaret Martin Gehman Art Gallery. The show will feature paintings, drawings, stone carvings and media.
In an interview with Erica Garber, a student in Visual and Communication Arts (VaCA) at 91大神, McCagg said the natural landscape 鈥攚oods, nature, water and wind鈥� informs him.
“All the color we want is out there and that’s why a lot of my paintings are about color, I don’t want to paint in shades of gray,” McCagg said.
“As a painter, the excitement lies in the deeper level of observation,” said McCagg.
The show will run through Feb. 19.
