The first major exhibition of Blue’s work in almost 20 years, this show opens a window onto the artist’s evolving process and approach. His strategy of studying and understanding his subject matter before proceeding to infuse it with color was influenced by workshops at Studio Incamminati and his studies with Peter Fiore. The culminating result of this patient labor and analytical exploration is a symphony of highly controlled yet powerfully dramatic tableaux that resound with brilliantly colored, evocatively illuminated rural scenes typical of southeastern Pennsylvania.
