Horace Panter: Blue Sky Paintings
Journeys Across America
“The myth still beckons. America and its dream.”
We are thrilled to announce a brand new exhibition from the studio of Horace Panter, legendary bassist of The Specials and contemporary Pop painter.
Blue Sky Paintings: Journeys Across America is open at the gallery this August.
The collection includes recent paintings from the artist’s ongoing Americana series, as well as introduces new oversized prints.
“As a musician, touring America means basically playing where the water is. The East Coast: Boston, NYC, DC, Philly and the West Coast: Seattle, Portland, SF, LA, and San Diego. Chicago and Denver is just a way to get from one coast to the other and, if you’re lucky, you get to do Phoenix, Dallas and Houston on the way back.
The ‘Flyover States’ (that enormous bit in the middle) are the bits that fascinate me these days. In recent years, I’ve been fortunate enough to spend time in both Texas and South Dakota. Photos from these visits constitute the subject of many of the pieces in this exhibition.
Of course, the commonality across the collection is the blue sky. I’m drawn to the intensity of the colour, the light and shade, and always aim to represent its fullness.”
