The Westport Book Shop Drew Friedman Art Place is presenting local artist Herm Freeman as its guest exhibitor for February.
Freeman is exhibiting recent paintings of his landscapes, often inspired by Cezanne, Soutine and villages in the south of France. He has taught art in Connecticut schools since 1973, and exhibited works throughout the northeast New England and New York City area and in Europe for over 40 years.
“These days, I’m not so sure where the villages I’m painting come from,” said Freeman. “In fact, that seems to be the point: let the paint go where it’s going…it leads and I follow where it goes. Sometimes I feel I’d like to live in those paintings – but that’s art for you.”
The Westport Book Shop will hold a reception for Herm Freeman and his exhibit on Feb. 14 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Space is limited for the event and the venue requests an RSVP at 203-349-5141 or bookshop@westportbooksaleventures.org.
