This places him in the ranks of the most distinguished American artists of the twentieth century. Ocean Galleries was honored to present works of this magnitude to our guests. This is was exhibition of important historical significance that shared the vision, innovation and execution of a legacy. Ocean Galleries hosted an exceptional two-artist show featuring nature artists Brian O’Neill and Hamilton Aguiar.The artists were both be on hand during special meet-and-greet wine and cheese receptions to talk with art lovers about their respective, unique styles of art. O’Neill is renowned for his paintings of flowers, and Aguiar is celebrated for his paintings of trees. Both artists approach and interpret their paintings with fresh eyes and a rare perspective. “My paintings are very reminiscent of the old Masters,” says O’Neill. “Using multiple, translucent layers, they create a mood, a romance and a little darkness.” The Brazilian-born Aguiar applies silver and copper leaf over the entire background of his linen canvases, then creates washes and shadows with oil paints, radiating a dramatic light due to the juxtaposition of the richness of the oil and mercurial nature of the metals.
