Opening Reception for Out of Plein Air by Chas Hollinger

Painting and being outdoors in nature have charted the course of Chas Hollinger’s artistic career. A plein air painter for eight years, he now finds himself returning to the studio with a unique perspective. This month, The Hen’s Nest presents a new collection of Hollinger’s landscape paintings beginning August 7th. An Opening Reception will be held on August 10th 4:00-6:00PM.

With an impressionistic style, Hollinger focuses on “quiet moments” incorporating vibrant color, bolder lines, and sometimes figures to create a subtle narrative. The effect is a powerful, quiet intimacy between the viewer and a beautiful place, often in Martha’s Vineyard, where Hollinger has spent a lot of time. The exhibition runs through September 8th.
