Santa Ysabel Art Gallery, Santa Ysabel, CA

Discover the dynamic fusion of the real and the imagined in an exhibition of new landscape paintings by Larry Groff. This exhibition juxtaposes works painted from direct observation with landscapes conceived entirely from the artist’s imagination, created using the computer and archival prints enhanced with acrylic paint and mixed media. The collection features scenes of San Diego backcountry, urban harbor views, landscapes of Italy, and imaginative pieces inspired by painters such as Corot and Bruegel. Explore this showing of modern, painterly works that blur the lines between reality and imagination.

My exhibition of new work and older works titled Through a Grain of Sand at the Santa Ysabel Art Gallery in Santa Ysabel in San Diego’s east county. This show had previously been scheduled for last year but was cancelled due to the pandemic. The opening reception is Saturday, July 10th, 4 – 7pm. The show will be from July 10 through August 22, 2021

The San Diego Union-Tribune has an article about my show in its Thursday, July 1st print edition as well as its online version.
Here is a link to the online version of the article which also appears in the Ramona Sentinal paper.

Here is a sampling of the paintings from the show.
