David Gray on the sale of

presented at the opening of "Impressions of Fall" exhibition
Now through September 30, 2011
Saks Galleries began representing David Gray shortly after he became a participant in the "American Art Invitational" hosted by the gallery in Denver, Colorado in December of 2010.
Writer, Bonnie Gangelhoff said of Gray in a recent article in Southwest Art Magazine, ..."Whether he is painting still lifes or figures, Gray brings a deep knowledge of and respect for the masters that translates into an elegant minimalism on canvas or panel. His tonalist portraits usually focus solely on the head and shoulders, while his still lifes feature timeless objects surrounded by generous does of negative space." We couldn't have said it better.
Gray's greatest influence is neo-classical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres (1790-1867). David suggests the abstract qualities of Ingres paintings are what have encouraged him in his own works. Most patrons recognize a Dutch influence reminiscent of Vermeer's work, especially in the "Muse" painting, presented during the American Art Invitational last December.
There is a quite, simple, calmness to David Gray's paintings. We are pleased to represent him.
