Alla Prima
Apr 18, 2025 - Jun 01, 2025
The gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of new works selected for a spring exhibition. "Alla prima," meaning "at once" or "at first attempt" in Italian, refers to a painting technique where the artist applies wet paint to wet paint, often in a single sitting, resulting in a spontaneous and immediate style. In French it connects with "Premier coup," meaning "first strike" or "first attempt" in that language, referring to a painting style or technique where a painting is intended to be completed in a single sitting, often with a focus on direct and improvisational brushwork. This feeling of freshness; of finding and addressing the original moment is the essence of each work in the exhibition.
