They were the landscape. Driving recently from his home in Denver to visit an uncle in Iowa, he went through miles of plowed fields and thought, “This is so ugly!” He began his return trip at sunrise and driving through the same landscape, he saw it “transformed, almost mythic. I had to let my previous judgment go. Here was a land of extraordinary fertility. The plowed fields represent a harvest that will feed millions of people. The land is alive. It creates life.”
The plowed fields now appear in some of the landscape/still lifes in the exhibition Fervent Emblems, now on view at K Contemporary in Denver through April 15.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nashâs sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesnât consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
