“Since the pandemic a lot of creative people have come to live and work out here,” says arts professional and Greenport resident Lucas Natali who just opened Fiedler Gallery. The debut solo exhibition, co-organized in collaboration with Tibor de Nagy and Douglas Craze, “Dwight Ripley: A Surrealist in Greenport, Works 1941-1961,” presents the work of the London artist who was passionate about poetry, botany. and art. Ripley exhibited at Peggy Guggenheim’s seminal gallery, Art of This Century, as well as Tibor de Nagy Gallery before settling in Greenport in 1959. Natali, whose interests span American Post-war and Abstract Expressionist art highlighting Suffolk County natives, hopes to develop a renewed appreciation for this local hero with this show, on view through November 15.
