"Paint your picture by means of the lights. Lights define texture and color – shadows define form." (Howard Pyle)Chadds Ford Gallery presents Robert R. Stack's, "DEFINING LIGHT", an exhibit of new and recent works of original art, opening Friday, October 12, 2012, 5:00 pm to 8:00pm; the exhibit continues thru October 28th. Located at Chadds Ford Village and Barn Shops, 1609 Baltimore Pike, Building 400, Chadds Ford, PA. The gallery is open Tuesday thru Saturday, 10:00 to 5:00, Sunday 12:00 to 5:00; no admission fee. For more information, please call Toll Free, 877.993.8425 or visit our Web Site www.awyethgallery.com
Robert spent his childhood in Chadds Ford and developed an early interest in art; encouraged and influenced by the art and artists of the area, he began developing his own style of work ... entering art competitions and winning awards, Stack entered and graduated from Tyler School of Art. Using Watercolors and Gouache mediums, his subjects are varied, ranging from natural subjects to architectural, equestrian and Civil War themes. In his work, light, color and composition take precedence over actual subject matter. He chooses subjects more for their interesting shapes and forms, than their narrative content. Lending itself to an air of mystery, sometimes he uses different shades of blue, and gets a dramatic contrast using light and shadow.
Spending time painting in Chadds Ford, Summer trips to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware and Monhegan Island, Maine, his work has won awards in various exhibits and juried shows. Robert Stack's work can be seen in Private and Corporate art collections on the East Coast. Robert lives and paints in his studio, Wilmington, DE.
Robert Stack offset lithographs and Giclee Signed Limited Editions are available. For more information, visit our Web Site www.awyethgallery.com or call
