Fall group show at Fischbach Gallery!

This group show, opening September 5th at the Fischbach Gallery, showcases the work of 22 representational artists with a variety of styles and subject matter. I am happy to be included along with many wonderful artists. I'm also pleased that my friend Jeff Gola, who is now represented by Fischbach, will be in the show. Fischbach has been a champion of representational art since the 1960s, through the Modern and Postmodern periods, and into the present day.

America's Parks I Exhibit

I have so much catching up to do, I'm just going to hit the highlights of the last year so I can bring this blog  up-to-date.

My biggest excitement over the winter centered around the show America's Parks: Through the Beauty of Art. Comprised of 50 two-dimensional works of art depicting any park in North America, the show is now traveling to different venues around the United States. After.opening at the Ella Carothers Dunnegan Gallery of Art in Bolivar, MO,  it traveled to the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, NY, and will end up at the Kenosha Public Museums in Kenosha, WI, from August 17 to October 13, 2013.

My painting, Marsh at Round Pond, was accepted into the show. . . and shortly thereafter I got a call from curator David J. Wagner who told me that I had won the prestigious Juror's Choice Award! I was thrilled. In all my years of landscape painting, this was the very first time I had ever won a major, top award for a landscape.

ALEXANDRA TYNG: MAINE coming soon to the Fischbach Gallery

Rocks II, Indian Island, oil on board, 9" x 12"

A little bit of Maine will be coming to NYC soon, in the form of my new solo show at the Fischbach Gallery. This will be purely a landscape show. If you are curious about my work process, this exhibition will give you some idea of how I work, because you will see small plein air oil sketches right on up to very large studio paintings including some aerial panoramas. For those of you who missed seeing Right Here in Maine last August, this will be a good opportunity to see at least some of that work, and if you did make it up to Rockland, there will be some new work in this show.

Hope you can make it to the opening! Lots of Chelsea galleries are open on the third Thursday of every month, so you can visit several, go out to dinner, and make an evening of it.

everyone loves GOOD NEWS

This is the title of the Fischbach Gallery's summer group show. What is good about the news? you might ask. Well, your glass can be half-empty or it can be half-full. Some aspects of the economy seem to be showing a glimmer of hope--art, for instance. It could be that people just get tired of doing without all the luxuries that make life more than just subsistence. . . or it could be that people are actually feeling that the stock market is on its way up and they can start spending again. Whatever the reason, collectors are venturing out again.

Some of my work will be in the show, namely Maine landscapes. My work ranges from sweeping aerial vistas of the Maine coast to smaller, more intimate views of places, and some in-between.

Opening Night at Fischbach Gallery

To backtrack a bit, I wanted to post some pictures from the opening of my show, "Above and Beyond." Yes,this is really late because the show has already closed, but it was such a fun evening. I want to thank all my family, friends and fellow artists who attended. Your presence was very much appreciated. And I want to also thank Larry DiCarlo and the people at Fischbach who worked so hard to pull the show together.
