‘Familiar Places’ exhibit on display at Good Gallery

Renowned realist Tom Yost has made a celebrated return to The Good Gallery in Kent with his latest collection, “Familiar Places”, which will run through Nov. 10. Known for his atmospheric landscapes, Yost’s new works continue to capture the beauty of the Litchfield Hills, Hudson Valley, and Connecticut Coast.

Having spent decades as a senior conservationist working with major museums and galleries in New York City, Yost learned from the masters before fully committing to his own artistic practice. Now based in Roxbury, Yost draws inspiration from the natural beauty that surrounds him, seeking to create realistic landscapes that evoke a sense of place and time. “My objective is to create images of nature that go beyond a mere description of a scene,” Yost writes in his artist’s statement. “For the last ten years, the focus of my work has been the rural landscape of the Connecticut Litchfield hills, coast and the Hudson river. Some of these locations I am fortunate enough to pass by often and am reminded why I have chosen to live in this beautiful place.”

The exhibit also offers a unique interactive experience, as gallery owner Tim Good explained. “Viewers can digitally explore the locations that inspired the paintings, encouraging them to visit these stunning landscapes themselves.”

This highly anticipated exhibit reflects Yost’s deep connection to his surroundings and continues his tradition of exploring the natural beauty of Connecticut and beyond. For more details, visit thegoodgallerykent.com.
