For over 30 years, Mark Gingerich has sought tranquility in nature and has beautifully conveyed those qualities in his landscape paintings. Born in Westphalia, Germany and currently residing in West Jefferson, Ohio, his artistic style is marked by atmospheric, impressionistic depictions of both rural and urban scenes. From capturing the bustling streets of Rome to the serene countryside of Holmes County, Gingerich’s work reflects a deep appreciation for the world around him.
An exhibition of twenty-five of Gingerich’s oil paintings is currently on display at Brandt-Roberts Galleries, running through December 17. This showcase features some of his newest works, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the intricate details and captivating scenes that define his artistry.
Michelle Brandt, the gallery owner, describes Gingerich as an artist who challenges perceptions of place, especially within metropolitan areas. She notes his reverence for the environment and his ability to inspire others to see the world through a different lens.
Gingerich’s journey as an artist began in his early years, with a passion for painting that eventually led to a dedicated pursuit of art in the 1990s. Drawing inspiration from plein-air workshops and self-education in various schools of art, his distinctive approach combines elements of the Barbizon and Impressionist styles. Notably, Gingerich participated in the Ohio bicentennial project Paint Ohio, an endeavor to portray scenes from all 88 counties in the state.
Beyond painting, Gingerich is also skilled in carpentry, masonry, and gardening. With his deep connection to nature, he finds solace in the world around him, drawing from its living personality to create evocative landscapes.
For those eager to experience Gingerich’s sublime artwork, “Mark Gingerich: All Roads Lead Home” is open to the public at Brandt-Roberts Galleries in Columbus, Ohio. The exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the rich tapestry of Gingerich’s art, inviting viewers to explore the beauty of both urban and rural landscapes through the eyes of a masterful painter.
