Fornearly two decades, Nigel Van Wieck has been evolving a distinctive idiom firmly rooted in the tradition of American realism. His small-format oils offer glimpses of classic Americana: racetracks and baseball fields, toy sailboats skimming over a pond, tourists relaxing on sun-drenched beaches.

Nigelvan Wieck has caught my imagination, so much so that I admit to looking, and looking, and looking at his work. He is so much more than a realist. I have already cited impressionism and symbolism in describing his work, but the most important element, to me, is the way that his pictures are much more than the sum of their parts.

VanWieck’s use of deep blues and blacks, as well as smooth curves and regular rhythms, give the work an intense sensuality. In Two Manhattans , 1989, the focus is on two fashionably dressed young women seated behind a small table, presumably at a nightclub.
