There will be an exhibition of recent paintings by artist Jim Gingerich entitled “Out West,” curated by Graham Leader, at the Sara Nightingale Gallery, 688 Montauk Highway in Water Mill on Saturday, October 1 and Sunday, October 2. An opening community benefit reception with wine and hors d’oeuvres will take place on Saturday, October 1 from 5 to 9 p.m. The gallery will be open on Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m.
Best known for his landscapes of the South Fork’s fields and beaches, Mr. Gingerich took a sabbatical from the East Coast last year and traveled to the high desert of Utah’s southwest corner. He settled on a horse ranch overlooking Smithsonian Butte and Zion National Park. “My vision expanded in the vast space and the rusty red volcanized landscape excited me. I welcomed the opportunity for verticality in my work,” Mr. Gingerich said. He painted daily and took up horseback riding on a white fox trotter named Lucy.
