A Celebration of Wine and Art Through the Works of Barry Sullivan
M Gallery of Fine Art and Chateau L’Hesperit will help open Sarasota’s Festival Diapente with a cocktail reception and exhibition of oil paintings by international artist Barry Sullivan on Wednesday, April 18, 2007 at 5:30 PM.
The Chateau L’Hesperit is host to an annual Artist in Residence Program in collaboration with M Gallery. Each year, one or two of the gallery’s artists are selected to paint at the Chateau in the Dordogne region of southern France for a four to six week period. At the completion of the residency, the Chateau selects one of the artist’s works for the labels of the wine produced in their vineyards. Barry Sullivan was the 2006 Artist in Residence and his painting “Two Women” was selected for this year’s vintage. The wine will be served at Festival Diapente events in conjunction with the theme “Wine is Art.”
Barry Sullivan’s work covers a range of insights ranging from his emotionally provocative figurative compositions which display a Renaissance technical influence to his more direct response to the landscape and medieval architecture of the Dordogne wine vineyard region of southern France. His work will be on exhibit throughout the month of April. M Gallery of Fine Art is located at 16 South Palm Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34236. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
