The Atelier presents Dr. Frederic Mendelsohn’s picturesque landscape scenes in a solo exhibition, opening Thursday, April 2 and running through Thursday, April 30.

Dr. Mendelsohn’s profound vision transcends a simple landscape view to uncover “unobvious” scenes. By using color symbolism and brushwork to mirror the stillness translates intangible feelings into visual elements. When a viewer engages with the resulting work, they aren't just seeing a scene; they feel the heat of a painted sun or the calm of a silent pond.
“I think of myself as a truth seeker. I want to create an original work that emulates Mother Nature in a painterly fashion, rendering art that captures the effects of atmosphere through color and light. My goal is to effortlessly paint what I envision in my mind’s eye.”

He is the holder of both a BA and MA degree as well as a MD, and is predominantly a landscape artist utilizing both oil and egg tempera paints.
