Brooklyn Plein Air: Art of Gregory Frux (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781719085564)

Gregory Frux is a realist oil painter who finds inspiration in both urban landscapes and wilderness vistas. His cityscapes document and celebrate New York, finding beauty in unexpected places; industrial sites, bridges, brownstones, night scenes and the waterfront. The wilderness paintings are inspired by remote travel to the Rockies, Andes and Antarctica as well as the Mohave and Redrock deserts. He has served as artist in residence in four National Parks and aboard cruise ships in both Polar Regions. In 2017, he was artist in residence at the weather station at the summit of Mount Washington. His creative practice also includes illustrated travel journals, field sketching and print making. He is an occasional teacher at the Art Students League and Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. His work is in the collections of the Library of Commerce, New York City Department of Education, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, New York University, the Brooklyn Public Library and American Museum of Mountaineering in Golden, Colorado.
