EXCERPT

Marc Schepens, who lives in a small town on the coast of Massachusetts, makes abstract paintings of the ocean. The oil paintings and watercolors represent the light, rhythm, movement, space, color, and atmosphere of the landscape where he lives. The pieces could be interpreted as the dappling of light on the water, or echoing horizons invoking limitless space, or the perpetual recreation of the ocean’s surface.

The paintings in the series are untitled, identified only by their completion dates, forming a kind of journal of observations. A solo show, Stripers and Blues, ran this fall at Ellen Miller Gallery in Boston.
