New Paintings: Continuity and Change, by Ben Groff

For the month of April, 2023, Gallery North proudly announces guest artist (and former member) Ben Groff in an exhibit entitled “New Paintings: Continuity and Change”.

Ben has been a well known painter in oils in the Seattle area for the last five years, specializing in exquisitely rendered mountain landscapes and scenes from his overseas travels. The show’s title suggests certain exciting new developments in Groff’s well-known style, a movement from realism to a more free-flowing expressionistic involvement in the emotion of the scene. “Change is natural to the artist,” says Groff, “and I have felt a need to explore new avenues.”
But with change there is always continuity. Old fans will continue to find the same interest in color and light to enhance the spiritual essence of the captured moment. What visitedmonds.com said of Groff’s work several years ago still holds true: “His landscapes seem dipped in the space between reality and gossamer fantasy.”

The artist’s reception will be held at Gallery North (401 Main Street, Edmonds) on Saturday, April 8, from 1-4 pm.
