The Church in Sag Harbor presents renowned artist Ross Bleckner in conversation with artist and The Church co-founder Eric Fischl on Thursday, May 5, at 6 PM.
The two will have a lively discussion about Ross’s extraordinary work featured in the “Empire of Water” exhibition, “Here is the Ocean, This is Moonlight.”
Bleckner has been evoking emotion and elegy in his beautifully abstract work since the 1980s, and has addressed with great compassion the AIDS epidemic, loss itself, and the passage of time.
Eric and Ross have remained good friends since meeting at Cal Arts in the 1970s. The two will discuss Ross’s painting and his previous work in a relaxed setting while viewing his painting with the audience.
Tickets are $15.
