Chicago-based fine art painter Bruno A. Surdo is classically trained in drawing and oil painting in the tradition of Renaissance masters. With strong command of the human form, Surdo creates dynamic compositions of people and places that communicate a rich commentary on the world around him. Depicting trees from personal encounters, Surdo’s latest body of work entitled “Tree Spirits” takes us on a foray into the forest, where leaves, branches and burls express something deeply personal. Applying his mastery of figurative realism to the natural world, he experiments with form and texture to uncover the intangible spirits of trees. Entitled “Birch,” this small-scale oil painting depicts a young birch sapling against an olive wood board. Restricting the composition to only a portion of the trunk, Surdo focuses on qualities that make the tree memorable - its narrow trunk...

Fisherman with Nets at Villeneuve, Lake Geneva – Swiss School, Late 19th Century This atmospheric oil painting depicts a fisherman standing on the quiet shore of an Alpine lake, surrounded by large fishing nets stretched along the water’s edge. Beyond him, the lake opens onto an expansive mountain landscape, its distant peaks emerging through a delicate veil of bluish haze. A solitary sailing boat glides across the still water, while a small house with a red roof and a line of slender trees punctuate the distant shoreline. The composition is beautifully balanced between the more detailed foreground, animated by the figure of the fisherman and the intricate pattern of the nets, and the broad, luminous expanse of water and sky beyond. The nets themselves form a particularly decorative element, their fine, almost transparent mesh catching the light and creating a subtle rhythm across the lower part of the painting. Executed in a restrained palette of silvery blues, soft greys, muted greens and warm ivory tones, the work is distinguished by its remarkable sense of calm and atmosphere. The mountains are rendered with softened contours rather than precise topographical detail, allowing them to dissolve gradually into the surrounding light. Their cool tonalities are echoed in the reflections upon the lake, creating a harmonious continuity between water, landscape and sky. The artist appears particularly attentive to the changing effects of natural light. The pale, diffused illumination suggests the quiet hours of early morning or perhaps the end of the day, when the lake becomes almost perfectly still and distant forms lose their sharpness. This sensitive observation of atmosphere, combined with the realistic depiction of everyday fishing life, places the work within the tradition of European Naturalist and plein-air landscape painting of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Both intimate and expansive, the painting offers a poetic evocation of traditional life on an Alpine lake. The solitary fisherman, monumental mountain backdrop and almost motionless water give the scene a contemplative character, while the subtle treatment of light lends the composition an understated elegance particularly characteristic of landscape painting around the turn of the century. Alpine lake painting, fisherman painting...

American, b. 1949 In his more than three decades as an artist, Nicholas Berger (b. 1949) has created an outstanding body of work that continues to evolve and excite viewers. Best known for his industrial, waterfront scenes of New York between 1930-1970, Berger effortlessly captures a period when the technology and landscape of the city was rapidly changing. Although he paints scenes of a bygone era, Berger draws inspiration from the waterfronts near his home in New York’s Hudson River Highlands as well as historical sources in museums. Berger holds BFA and MFA degrees from Alfred University. Earlier in his career, the artist painted representational landscapes rendered in watercolor, a medium in which he achieved great success, sharing a sellout two-person show in Tokyo with Andrew Wyeth. In the mid-2000s, Berger transitioned to his signature industrial scenes of the city, employing oil on panel in a painterly manner influenced by the Hudson River and Brandywine schools...
