An art opening and wine and cheese reception in honor of artist Gigi Barrett will take place from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10, at Darien Rowayton Bank, 1001 Post Road, where her new series SKY will be on display throughout December. Although primarily a portrait artist, her latest collection expanded her focus to include the beauty of the world under the magnificent sky. Born and bred in Bushwick, Brooklyn, she is moved by the bleakness of New York City of the 70’s with its haunting Black, White and Grays. Many works are in charcoal, stressing the lines, flaws, light and shadows while her bright acrylic and oil work has definitive characteristics one might see in a sketch.
