GC Myers – West End Gallery – Riding Rhythm

Myers speaks of his most recent collection of work:

“The title of this year’s edition of my annual solo exhibit at the West End Gallery is Chaos & Light. This will be my 21st solo outing at the West End Gallery, who has represented my work since 1995.

I chose Chaos & Light because many of us, especially in recent years, often feel as though we exist on the border between chaos and order. Much like the line separating the two sides of the yin and yang of eastern philosophy.

That is, no doubt, as it has always been throughout the history of man as we have always teetered on the precipice. But it seems even more pronounced in recent times. Chaos sometimes feels ready to overwhelm us with its darkness and uncertainty and the peril it offers.

But while the threat of chaos looms large, the opposing force of order is always close at hand. It comes in the forms of light and hope, of truth and tolerance.

In this show, chaos shows itself in the random slashing brushstrokes that make up the skies in many of my works. The landscapes beneath these chaotic skies attempt to create a sense of order using rich colors and the contrasts of light.

I believe that one of the main purposes of art is to illustrate this our existence in this world and to serve as a counterpoint to, and refuge from, the chaos that exists in this world.

I would like to say that the work in this show does just that but that is not for me to say. You have to be the judge of that.” ~ GC Myers, July 2022

GC Myers began exhibiting at West End Gallery in 1995 and is one of the Gallery’s most popular artists. His work is in numerous collections throughout the US and beyond. In addition to being represented by West End Gallery, Myers’ work is exhibited in several other galleries across the country. His work has been featured in American Art Collector Magazine. He also was interviewed on the popular Out of Bounds program for NPR by Tish Pearlman and was featured on PBS for Artists Café. Myers’ work is readily recognized by the viewer as he has recurring images that are associated with his work – the red tree, red-roofed houses, a red chair, and paths leading through the landscape.

Upstairs Gallery: In addition to the GC Myers exhibition at West End Gallery, there will be new artwork by more than 30 exceptional artists on display in the Upstairs Gallery on the second floor.
