Art & Light Gallery has teamed up with The Anchorage restaurant in Greenville to host an exhibit featuring works by painter Scotty Peek of Columbia.
The exhibition opens July 16 virtually on the gallery’s website and in person through Oct. 7 at The Anchorage restaurant at 586 Perry Ave.
Peek paints landscapes from life or photos, which he works to abstract in varying degrees, said the gallery in a news release.
“I want each painting to have a unique identity and character of its own, possibly suggesting something unexpected about our surroundings,” Peek said. “There are many genuine psychological and intellectual reasons I could give for being drawn to the landscape as an artist. Ultimately, the only one that matters is that I can’t seem to exhaust the landscape as an interesting subject. From any given point, there are thousands of possible landscape paintings, each offering its own set of observations, and each suggesting something different.”
Art & Light will also host a ticketed artist meet and greet from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Sept. 5. Admission is $20 per person and may be purchased online.
