Jerry Power

Maniscalco Gallery, Grosse Pointe

Jerry Power (Sterling Heights) paints very realistic landscapes in pastel, working outdoors as often as possible. Although he does paint in oils, he favors pastels when painting in the field because he finds them easier to handle and more immediate.

The Maniscalco Gallery presents recent pastel paintings by Jerry Power at the new gallery, 17728 Mack Avenue. The new Maniscalco Gallery is 3 blocks north of the old space and has been completely re-designed to effectively showcase some of Detroit's most gifted artists. Jerry Power (Sterling Heights) paints very realistic landscapes in pastel, working outdoors as often as possible. Although he does paint in oils, he favors pastels when painting in the field because he finds them easier to handle and more immediate. Power paints scenes with strong shadows so he creates most of his landscapes in the early morning or late afternoon.
These are the times the landscapes seem to pull him in. He shares those moments with the viewer which may never come again to spark an awareness that nature is both beautiful and fragile. His sense of realism is his way of honoring creation itself.

Power began actively pursuing painting in 1989 and has achieved much acclaim since retiring from Ameritech. He has been artist in residence at Sleeping Bear Dunes and the Indiana Dunes and has been the recipient of several national awards, including first place in the Pastel Journal 2002. He teaches en plein air workshops (painting in the open air), with one coming up in Lake Orion at the end of June.
The Maniscalco Gallery was founded in 1997 by artist Robert Maniscalco. The new Gallery offers custom art (including Robert's renown portraiture), art consultation services, custom art, art classes and full service custom framing.

Also, don't forget, Robert is offering FREE portrait painting demos EVERY THURSDAY from 6-9 pm at the gallery throughout the summer for anyone interested in learning more about the process of painting a portrait! It's fun for the whole family! Call (313) 886-2993 for more info.
