The Wave Series

Pastel Seascapes

We are very excited to be showing a technically brilliant collection of pastel seascapes that are variations on a breakthrough system for integrating color. Newberry - who has lectured at vision science conferences - has reinvented himself throughout his career by studying the nuances of light and color. This collection of work came about from a renewed study of Van Gogh, Cezanne, and Monet. Newberry has given a talk about the work and is offering a workshop through the Gage Academy of Art on October 1-3. He has also published a book about the collection.

This exhibition demonstrates the Figure | Ground Art Gallery’s commitment to showing the very best, innovative art of our time. We consider this a museum quality show, and we will provide detailed descriptions of each piece, with an overall introduction to the color theory system for gallery visitors.

To Purchase

Please inquire for the availability of the work. We are prioritizing offers that keep the collection fully intact.
