Landscape painting by Stephen Pentak.
“Back From the Hike” is a group exhibition of landscape and abstract paintings curated by Stephen Pentak. The show celebrates the work of three painters, Pentak, Royce Howes, and Richard Roth, who met in the Tyler School of Art graduate painting program in the late 1970s.
Although they have stylistically divergent practices, they share an abiding interest in visual form, whether representational or not, that underpins perception. All three believe paintings have an uncanny ability to transcend their own objecthood.
