We’d like to introduce you to David Saunders 👨🏼‍🎨

His art career began assisting his father, Norman Saunders — one of the great pulp illustrators — and found a mentor in Joseph Cornell while still in high school. From there, his practice expanded across found objects, film and set design, assemblage, sculpture, and public commissions from Battery Park to LaGuardia Airport. His work is held by the , , and the .

It’s been nearly twenty years since his last gallery exhibition. We’re excited to change that.

“Rosemary’s Inspiration” comes from his “Paper Doll” series — in which he draws a figure, cuts it out at life-size, props it in an outdoor landscape, and paints the whole scene from life. The result is something genuinely original: classical observation and contemporary playfulness, side by side.

Join us tonight for the opening reception 🥂 Saunders will be in attendance. 6:00–7:30pm at Grenning Gallery, 26 Main Street, Sag Harbor. We hope to see you there.

We are THRILLED to be showing ✨

What distinguishes Assael is not technical mastery alone — though that mastery is formidable — but his unflinching observation of each individual he paints. The sense of a person, their inner life and presence, is palpable in his work to anyone who takes a moment to look.

One of the finest living realist painters in the United States, Steven Assael has been showing in galleries since 1979 — predating the contemporary atelier movement — and his work is held in major permanent collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, and the Arkansas Art Center.

Come see for yourself. “Summer’s Here” opens Saturday, May 30th with a reception from 6:00–7:30pm at 26 Main Street, Sag Harbor

‘Summer’s Here’ is a group exhibition highlighting four established realist painters who reaffirm the ethos on which Grenning Gallery was founded: a space for classically trained artists inspired by nature and humanity. .jlevin brings a surrealist sensibility to meticulously crafted compositions; delivers lush, decadent still life paintings. Exhibiting at Grenning for the first time is renowned figurative painter , whom Gallery Owner Laura Grenning has long admired. Also new to the roster is , an acclaimed mixed-media artist whose deeply humanist subjects and distinctive process of incising canvases first caught the eye of Gallery Manager Megan Toy. Together, these four painters challenge the viewer with expert precision and richly varied renderings of the human experience.

The exhibition opens with a reception on Saturday, May 30, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, and remains on view through Sunday, June 21.
