Past Exhibition

Philip Geiger

March 1–25, 2004

Philip Geiger has been an art professor at the University of Virginia for over 30 years.  He earned his BFA from Washington University and went on to complete his MFA at Yale University.  Geiger’s lustrous light, loose brushwork and subtle color tellingly capture the nuances of mood and feeling that make up the more peaceful moments of contemporary family life. Geiger eschews a specific narrative in his paintings, challenging viewers to meditate on our society’s daily rituals and settings, and the meanings which may underlie seemingly mundane moments.
