KENT—Tom Yost will exhibit his works at the Good Gallery, 23 South Main St., from Saturday, Sept. 28, through Nov. 10. There will be an opening reception on Sept. 28 from 3 to 7 p.m.
The exhibition, titled “Familiar Places,” features views captured in Northwest Connecticut, such as Kent Falls and the Housatonic River.
“My objective as a landscape painter is to create realistic images of nature that go beyond the mere description of a scene,” Yost wrote. “It is my intent to capture the atmospheric quality of a particular location and to impart that sense of a special place and time. For the last ten years, the focus of my work has been the rural landscape of Connecticut’s Litchfield hills, coast and the Hudson River. Some of these locations I am fortunate enough to pass by often and am reminded why I have chosen to live in this beautiful place.”
Yost opened his own studio, Yost Painting Restoration in New York in 1990. He and his staff of trained professionals and apprentices soon built a prestigious client list that included well-known galleries, museums and art dealers from across the nation as well as many private art collectors. Relocating his base to Connecticut in 1998, he continued doing business as Yost Conservation LLC.
Throughout his formative years, and during the professional years of his adulthood, Yost has always created time to make his own paintings. He continues to explore the countryside in Litchfield County and produce works that capture the natural beauty and moments of inspiration found in Connecticut’s landscape. He has been recognized by juried awards for his realism and carefully crafted images.
