SAG HARBOR, NY.- In this exhibition at the Sara Nightingale Gallery, which will run through October 18th, recent works by Gus Yero and George Singer, look to the natural (and unnatural) outside world in a collection of abstract and narrative paintings that allow color to do much of the story telling.

Gus & George are married and share a home and studio in East Hampton, NY. Though they create their works as separate individuals, they often share ideas, comments and inspiration.

They write: “Among the things we all seem to have in common, and which was likely magnified during the pandemic, is a desire to seek something larger than ourselves. Perhaps we stand in wonder at the expanse of the ocean or stare up at a night sky hoping to see unidentified arial phenomena. We have daily interactions with nature, and also must confront ourselves internally as we work a blank canvas with paint and texture, shapes and color. In all of these activities, we are propelled by our unbridled optimism to believe that something will emerge - something larger and more meaningful than what we had previously known. This exhibition is a celebration of seeking meaning - both inside and outside ourselves."




Gus Yero: When I paint, my focus is primarily color. The application of one color leads to another. A language is formed, and shapes are created out of this process.

George Singer: I approach painting as a non-verbal, open form of expression into which I can enter - as one might enter into a meditation, where there is only a vocabulary of color, shape and texture.

Gus Yero was born in New York, NY and studied painting at the Art Students League with Larry Poons, William Scharf and Joanna Pousett-Dart. He currently lives and works in East Hampton and NYC, and has had numerous exhibitions at Sara Nightingale Gallery. He is included in the book, Hampton Artists/ The Current Wave, by Jamie Lopez and Coco Myers.

George Singer is a self-taught emerging artist who paints in his East Hampton, NY studio. His work has been shown at Guild Hall, East Hampton, Folio East, Ashawagh Hall, East Hampton and Ille Arts in Amagansett, as well as The National Arts Club and Sara Nightingale Gallery. He is also included in Hampton Artists/ The Current Wave, by Jamie Lopez and Coco Myers.
