The Guild of Boston Artists is proud to present We Are Still In Eden, a solo show of New England landscapes by nationally renowned and internationally exhibited artist Stapleton Kearns, at its Newbury Street gallery from November 2nd - 30th.The evocative title of Stapleton Kearns's latest one man show is borrowed from Thomas Cole's 1836 Essay on American Scenery. In overachieving answer to Cole's imploring that we modern men "at times turn from the ordinary pursuits of life to the pure enjoyment of rural nature," Kearns has made the New England landscape his life's pursuit. Beginning each painting outdoors, he works directly from nature with an intuitive empathy, a sensitive eye, and a muscular skill for design, seeking to capture not only the appearance of a scene but the way it makes him feel. Back in the studio, he amplifies this lyrical depth for the viewer by making use of expressive brushwork and a nuanced sense of broken color. The resulting landscapes are humble and honest expressions of a particular poetry of place and reflect the joy of being alive and out in nature.
