Artist’s use of light is both old and new

Last chance to see Ernest Vincent Wood III’s exhibit of oils, “Do Not Despise the Day of Small Things,” in the Regier Art Gallery – and plan to attend the artist reception this evening between 6 and 8 p.m.
Wood’s “sensitive use of light and realism” bring to 2022 the 17th-century technique of the Roman Caravaggisti and still-life artists of the Dutch Baroque – “with a contemporary twist of innuendo that makes an Old-World technique relevant,” according to the artist’s website.
