Visual Arts Mentor David Humphrey has a solo exhibition of his newest paintings at Pamela Salisbury Gallery. Titled Recent Paintings, the exhibition is showing as one of six one-person concurrent exhibitions the gallery is hosting during the month of August.

Four paintings comprise Humphrey’s Recent Paintings: “Walt and Pete” (2019), “Tangle” (2019), “Truck and Nude” (2019) and “Driver” (2019). His paintings are an engaging combination of precision and blurriness, like being far-sighted and near-sighted at the same time.
