Art Gallery
Ultra Realism
with Edward Gordon
Date 8/07/10
Time 7-10pm
Edward creates a quiet beauty of a simple scene with fresh eyes giving the viewer an idea of what he felt as he watched the light flooding through the windows and the shadows and colors cast by objects in the interiors.
He is a consummate draftsman with a keen eye depicting his subject matters. His solitude evokes all of one's senses: the smell and sounds of the ocean, the touch of objects, with doors and windows opening to never-ending opportunities.

The Preservation Framer is both a Custom Picture Framing Store and a Gallery Space. We are very pleased to have showcased some exceptional talent since our opening in November of 2008. The first Saturday of every month has been reserved for Artist Receptions, and each event has definitely been a night to remember. These openings have created such a buzz that people are now coming from much further afield, and in growing numbers, to partake in monthly evenings of live music, great food and wine, and of course, magnificent original art! It has become a wonderful evening to network and celebrate, to mix and mingle, and of course to purchase truly one-of-a-kind quality artwork at prices more affordable than Newbury St. in Boston or similar districts in Cape Cod, Provincetown, or Providence, RI. Sign up for our monthly emails below to keep up with our Artist Receptions.
