“River Reflections No.1,” by Christopher O’Connor.

Artemis Gallery will present Christopher O’Connor’s “River Reflection” series as part of its fall show, which includes other gallery artists.

O’Connor is a native of Ireland, born in the colorful town of Dingle in County Kerry. His work and life are mirroring in their examination and curiosity of the world.

His work focuses primarily on the natural world and the elements which inhabit it. His work of late, being rendered from digital images as reference points, investigates the dimension of distortion by digitization. These dimensions being the invisible building blocks, or pixels which compile like drops of paint to represent the natural world in digital form. Our eyes are only capable of absorbing the 256 colors which our computer screens deliver, and our minds fill in the blanks, though we are not aware of it.

In paintings resembling those of the pointillist and impressionist artists, O’Connor captures moments which bridge the digital divide to the natural world.

The show opens Oct. 7 and runs through the month, with an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Oct. 7.

Artemis Gallery is at 1 Old Firehouse Lane, Northeast Harbor. Call 207-276-3001 for more information.
