Richard Sutton Exhibit at Gallery One Seventeen

Afraid of the Dark, a new exhibition of works by Richard Sutton, is now showing at Gallery One Seventeen, with the exhibition to remain open until March 9.

The gallery is located at 117 Front Street east, just past the Cabinet building.

Mr. Sutton said, “I have always been drawn to New York City’s evening lighting. The silhouetted cityscapes with bursts of bright colourful lights created by awnings and windows move me. As I studied art history, I learned of the Ashcan Art Movement. I could not help look for the beauty in dark spaces.

“As an art educator, I usually noticed this light because of the hours I kept. I also admired other artists, such as Caravaggio and Edward Hopper, for their use of light and wondered how the work would apply to a new narrative.”
