The exhibition will include 20 vibrant new oil paintings. Nature has been the main theme of Foose's work for many years, and he keeps his paintings lively and engaging by changing his focus and point of view, now to the garden outside his back door. His interpretations of the view at hand continue to evolve in new and surprising ways. Here, the artist has turned his attention to details of a pond, with foliage, water, and reflected sky, painted in lush color and rich texture. While Foose's images are firmly rooted in nature, he's a formalist at heart and these are his most abstract works to date. In explaining his work, Foose said, "Though common in idea, I try for the uncommon…fully aware of the historical continuum of painting itself. I feel both humbled and empowered by the endless possibility of what could come next."
