Sheldon Fine Art to Host Special Showcase Featuring Paintings by Tracey Sylvester Harris
March 11, 2014
NAPLES, Fla. (March 4, 2014) – Sheldon Fine Art is delighted to announce that it will showcase 30 paintings by Tracey Sylvester Harris, a California artist whose work was recently featured in the indie film, The Face of Love, which stars Annette Benning, Ed Harris, and Robin Williams. The Face of Love is a romantic drama by IFC Films that was featured at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2013 and will open in limited release this Friday, March 7 in New York City and Los Angeles. Sheldon Fine Art’s special showcase of Harris’ paintings will be held during the month of March at Sheldon Fine Art, located at 460 Fifth Avenue South in Naples, Florida.
The movie’s director, Arie Posin, uses the paintings to illustrate the transformative power of love after devastating loss. When divorced, formerly famous, and damaged artist turned art teacher Tom Young (Ed Harris) meets and falls for a widow (Annette Benning) while teaching a class, he again picks up his brushes and begins painting amazing, large format figure paintings, created in real life by California artist Tracey Sylvester Harris. In her paintings, T.S. Harris presents a dazzling vision of California that merges the past with the present. In an ironic twist, two recurring themes are her love of water and her love of Hollywood. Looking closely at the paintings however, reveals her true theme – how precious and fleeting our moments in the sun are.
