On October 27th, at 4pm join us for a free screening of Goodchild Media's The Painted Life of Gregory Gillespie.
The film explores the groundbreaking work and legacy of American artist Gregory Gillespie (1936 – 2000). Born in New Jersey, Gillespie spent seven years in Italy studying and painting before settling in Western Massachusetts in 1970, where he remained until his untimely death in 2000. A beloved talent and visionary, Gillespie radically altered the path set for “new realism” painters by “rorschaching” into the mysteries of his own psychological demons while lifting cues from his careful study of Renaissance masters to conjure truly original postmodern masterpieces.
There will be a panel talk with the director and local artists/film participants after the screening.
After the panel talk, head to R. Michelson Galleries for our Valley Realists exhibition. View Gregory Gillespie’s paintings in person, along with works by Scott Prior, Frances Cohen Gillespie, Randall Deihl, Robin Freedenfeld, Nan Hill, and Rey Milici
