Rainier Square Mezzanine Neil Andersson May 18th - August 29th, 2009 Please refer questions to Jeffrey Moose, 206.467.6951 or jmoose@jeffreymoosegallery.com. Jeffrey Moose Gallery, 1333 5th Ave, Seattle, is pleased to announce an exhibition in the Rainier Tower Mezzanine, 1301 5th Ave, of recent works by Tacoma painter, Neil Andersson, to run from May 18th through August, 29th. Neil Andersson, affiliated with the gallery through the alumni association of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, holds an MFA in Landscape Painting from the school and favors scenery from France, sometimes turning to Puget Sound for imagery. He is part Native American, descended from the Salish Kootenai of Montana. His work focuses on earth and water; most of his best depict bucolic river scenes of slow moving, wide water and lush summer foliage. His technique is realistic but not photographic, sentimental but not corny. When Mr. Andersson is not painting, he is leading the well-known Gypsy Jazz group Pearl Django. The group Pearl Django is known for their Gypsy style jazz music, a style developed by the enigmatic three fingered French Gypsy, Django Reinhardt. It is due to Mr. Andersson's obsession with things French that he has selected so many scenes from the south of France for his landscapes. During his travels to France, he has made many photos of romantic scenery, particularly rivers including the Loire and the Sevres rivers. Lately, scenes from Whidbey Island and Oregon have also appeared in his work.
