Description
An exhibition of recent paintings by Jeffrey Ripple, July 10 – August 30, 2008. A reception for the artist will take place on Thursday, July 10, from 5:30 to 7:30pm. A full-color catalogue with an essay by art critic Gail Leggio is available.

Jeffrey Ripple’s paintings are extraordinary paeans to the vigor and strangeness of nature. In his most recent work, he continues to meditate on the natural world and the cycle of life. Ripple’s compositions have increased in complexity since his last Hackett-Freedman exhibition in 2002. The format is larger, and sometimes comprised of separate panels—a technique that allows the artist to aggregate content and approach his compositions in a more organic manner. These ambitious compositions reinforce Ripple’s view of nature as both wondrous and unplumbed.
