Details
Event Type Art Exhibition Description Gallery 40 is proud to announce a compelling dual exhibition featuring the evocative landscapes of Cynthia Dill and the dynamic collection of works by John McGiff. The exhibition will open on Saturday September 20, with a public reception from 5-7pm, offering viewers a unique dialogue between two artistic voices. Cynthia Dill captures the majesty and mood of natural landscapes, using oil on canvas to convey an emotional connection to places. Her work invites the viewer to experience serene, untamed, and immersive environments that speak to memory, time, and solitude. In contrast, John McGiff presents the Icarus Unbound collection that rewrites the Greek myth of Icarus with an emphasis on one’s ability to transform experience in positive ways and rise above the limited conditions of life we often inherit.
