Contemporary realist artist displays ‘Stories’
Two children stand on a beach holding hands next to Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Dumbo. Next to them, two more children share a chair with Pete, the dog from "Our Gang," and seem to be smiling at something across the way. But is it the bumper cars they are smiling at or the robot with shining red eyes?
These vivid images could be every child's fantasy, but really they are the work of Stephen Heigh, whose exhibit of Contemporary Realist paintings opened in the Grace and Joseph Gorevin Fine Arts Gallery on the second floor of Holy Spirit Library on March 11.
