ANNE LEITH | Land Escape is a solo exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Saugerties artist, Anne Leith. With oil paints, easel and large boards, Leith ventures into the woodlands of the Hudson Valley to capture the transient light reflecting off water and filtering through branches. Inspired by the forest, waterfalls, clouds and streams of the Hudson Valley and Catskills region, Anne Leith responds to nature's rhythms with vibrant pigments and gestural brushwork.
This exhibition is in preparation for her solo exhibition in Venice at CASTELLO 925's project space in Venice, Italy.
About Anne Leith:
Anne Leith is committed to painting the world around her, both in the plein air tradition and in the studio. Her gestural brushwork demonstrates the velocity of her eye and her passion for the moment. This exhibition at Castello 925 in Venice, Italy, during the 61st Venice Biennale, is the artist's first international solo exhibition.
About OPUS 40:
Created over four decades by visionary artist and Bard professor Harvey Fite, Opus 40 is a 6.5-acre earthwork made of finely fitted bluestone, rising out of an abandoned quarry at the foot of Overlook Mountain in Saugerties, NY. In 1978, Fite's widow, Barbara, established the nonprofit Opus 40 Inc, opening the sculpture, along with 63 acres of meadows, walking trails, bluestone quarries, as well as the Quarryman's Museum to visitors from all over the world. Today, Opus 40 offers a diverse selection of events in a wholly unique setting that Architectural Digest has called "one of the most beguiling works of art on the entire continent."
