The Didier Aaron Gallery in New York presents “Connect”, New Work by Nigel Van Wieck, an exhibition of 35 paintings by one of my favorite contemporary artists.
New Work by Nigel Van Wieck
Van Wieck, often considered Hopper-esque for his depiction of isolated subjects in desolate urban landscapes and his manipulation of light and shadow, considers his work to be a snapshot of American life.
Below are several of my personal favorite pieces from the exhibit.

Van Wieck attended the Hornsey College of Art, one of the most reputable institutes of art in England. He has been exhibiting in solo and group shows in the United States and Europe since 1972. This will be Van Wieck’s first exhibition in New York since his showcase at the Beadelston Gallery in 2001. He currently lives and works in New York.
Van Wieck’s “Connect” will be at the Didier Aaron Gallery In New York through May 15th.
