NEW YORK, NY - The temperature in New York City is plunging, but that doesn’t mean you have to bundle up to see the concrete jungle under a sheet of snow. Rehs Contemporary Galleries, New York City, is displaying works by Contemporary American Impressionist artist Mark Daly through mid-December. Take a stroll in their cozy gallery, a cup of hot cocoa upon request, and imagine yourself peering out a frosted window overlooking Fifth Avenue, maybe downtown near Trinity Church, or even teleport yourself to warmer weather with Daly’s Naples, Florida, beach scenes. 

One of the most fascinating elements of Daly’s work, according to Alyssa Rehs, co-director and Vice President of Rehs Contemporary, is “his ability to create movement in a static image. Since Mark is a plein-air painter, the view of many of his works are at street level giving you an impression that the scene is from your personal point of view. The way he paints falling snow, the wind rippling through the flags, or the shifting reflection on a sidewalk after a rainstorm evokes a serene emotion. The calming element of his paintings may be the reason I gravitate to them so much. Living in the hustle and bustle of New York City, it is nice to take a step back from the constant noise and blaring sirens and reflect upon this one of a kind city.” 

On view, through mid-December, will be a solo exhibition of works by Mark Daly in Gallery Room 1 . All of the works at Rehs Contemporary are available for purchase.
