Al Garvey’s 'Dreams of Trees' Opens at Galeria Uno

November 25, 2013

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Al Garvey’s fourth solo exhibition of oil paintings, Sueños de Arboles (Tree Dreams,) will open with an artist’s reception this Wednesday at Galería Uno, during the weekly Art Walk.

A dramatic change will be noticed by those who are familiar with Al’s work: the majestic tropical trees of Puerto Vallarta seen now in a powerful palette saturated with vibrant color. This metamorphosis stems from a long-desired return to Paris last year.

Al and his wife Barbara had spent the first year of their marriage living in a tiny apartment on the top of Montmartre in northern Paris, where Al painted among local artists while surrounded by tourists.

In September 2012, the couple exchanged their Puerto Vallarta guesthouse for another in Paris, this time in the St. Blaise neighborhood, a tourist-free zone of multiple ethnicities. From here Garvey frequented museums, especially the Pompidou Modern Art Museum and Musée D’Orsay, concentrating his study on Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, and Paul Gauguin.

Returning to his studio these artists' intense images permeated his vision.

Garvey, a 10-year full-time resident of Puerto Vallarta, is a graduate of Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. In the San Francisco Bay Area he spent many decades exploring a variety of media - from serigraphy, to exotic wood mosaics, and eclectic furniture and home design.

Please drop in to Galería Uno on Wednesday November 27th between 6 pm and 9 pm to meet Al Garvey, or at any time during the next couple of weeks. The gallery is located at Morelos #561 and is open Monday – Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm. (322) 222-0908.
