Original Oil Painting by Gerald King
After the
Storm
RIVERDALE
PARK SERIES
It was Mother's Day 1997 and a family visited The
commemorating those who contributed to purchase a new/old town clock. I
was just starting a
painting
from that vantage point. It would become a seminal work in a series about
Riverdale
Park and its struggle to
impede the encroachment of the sterile facades of modern architecture.
It was a point at which
the citizens were re-evaluating change and thinking about preserving
some of the ambiance of
earlier times. It was this awakening to the beauty of the past, which
I tried to portray in this
work. The storm of modernism has passed and life re-emerges more aware
of the nature of man and his
need for beauty.
