August 2013
NASHVILLE — Haynes Galleries is pleased to present “Women Painting Women: A Room of One’s Own,” a collection of work by women artists who follow in the figurative tradition of depicting the female form. The title is inspired by Virginia Woolf’s famous essay, which maintains that a woman needs personal space, equal opportunity to her male counterparts, and poetic license to create art. The exhibit will explore how contemporary women artists approach a subject that has transfixed artists — mostly male — for centuries. “Women Painting Women: A Room of One’s Own” will be on view from Aug. 23 to Oct. 5 at 1600 Division St., on the Music Row Roundabout.

July, 2013
NASHVILLE — What’s in a drawing? A pencil mark put down on paper, loosely tracing the curve of a woman’s hip or tightly rendering a frayed basketball net, drooping on a windless day. A swath of charcoal smudged — not in haste, but in care, accentuating the hollow under a cheekbone or a wrinkle on a collar. A scribble of pastel from which a boy’s profile emerges regally.
May 2013

The exhibit will run May 24 to July 13 at Haynes Galleries, in the historic Music Row Roundabout. An opening reception will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on May 24.

Sublett, who died in 2008 at the age of 89, breathed motion and texture into his watercolors. His paintings are like love letters — each brushstroke a carefully crafted sentence; each painting a complex, poetic narrative. He flourished in the rural, natural solitude of Tennessee and the coast of Maine, each of which had a unique quality of light that imbued his work.
April 2013

April 2013

Afterward, the show travels to the galleries’ Thomaston, Maine location from June 28 to July 30.

January 2013
NASHVILLE — What could possibly be exciting about old trunks? A leather briefcase? A bottle of ketchup? In the hands of contemporary masters, quite a bit. While the genre is as old as paint itself, this exhibit of watercolors and oils puts the “life” in still life. Through the works of 20 realist painters “Ordinary Objects: Extraordinary Still Lifes” evidences the range and beauty of this long-standing genre.
January 2013
NASHVILLE — In a show that gallery owner Gary R. Haynes calls “the best of the best,” Haynes Galleries is pleased to present Revisiting the Masters, a virtual Who's Who of American Realism from the last three centuries.

December 2012
NASHVILLE — Haynes Galleries is pleased to present “Small Things,” a selection of smaller works by renowned American Realists. This selection of small works — more than 160 paintings by 51 artists — proves that good things really do come in small packages. Presented salon style, “Small Things” is a feast for the eyes — a jewel box overflowing with gems from renowned artists such as Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Norman Rockwell and Andrew Wyeth, as well as contemporary masters Jesús E. Villarreal, Grace DeVito, Vincent Giarrano and Anthony Ryder to mention just a few.
November 2012
NASHVILLE — Haynes Galleries is pleased to present Five Figurative Artists, featuring the work of Jesús Emmanuel Villarreal, Lea Colie Wight, Ellen Cooper, Renée Foulks and Ryan S. Brown. The exhibit will run Nov. 9-Dec 4 at Haynes Galleries, on the historic Music Row Roundabout. An opening reception will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 9. The event is free and open to the public.
Though the show hasn’t yet opened, it’s already making a splash in the contemporary art press. In the November issue of American Art Collector, John O’Hern praises Five Figurative Artists: “The standards of rigorous training in technique and observation are returning to the world of contemporary art through realist painting of the caliber that Haynes has selected for this exhibition.”
October 2012
Haynes Galleries is pleased to present “Gary Akers: Magic Moments,” a selection of the artist’s most recent egg tempera, drybrush and watercolor paintings. The exhibit will run from Oct. 12 to Nov. 6, 2012 at Haynes’ new gallery in the historic Music Row Roundabout.
Akers, a contemporary American realist whose mastery and attention to detail evokes Andrew Wyeth, coaxes the magical out of the mundane with every brushstroke. His paintings are like time capsules, preserving singular moments in time — small moments that speak volumes about a vanishing way of life. His is a romantic vision, one steeped in the beauty and simplicity of his subjects..
True to the nature of the medium, works on paper offer a sense of personal presence that is sometimes lost in finished paintings. Artist notes, scribble marks, eraser smudges, and other charming characteristics that serve as evidence of the artist’s hand and mind in sync without premeditation or over-thought deliberation are what makes this exhibition fresh and exciting. Artist’s penned illustrated letters and graphite drawings, pastel and pencil studies, loose watercolor washes, and silver gelatin and palladium photographic prints grace the gallery walls.
Silverman, a native New Yorker, made his mark as a Realist in an art scene dominated by Abstract Expressionists. He got his start as an illustrator — his work has appeared in Time and The New Yorker — but years ago, he “fell in love with the landscape of the human face, where all the emotional states of life are to be found.” Portraiture became his passion, and he is one of the founders of the Portrait Society of America.
Opening Reception, May 11, 2012 6 to 8 pm at the Music Row Roundabout
Nashville, Tennessee – Portrait photographer Yousuf Karsh revealed the character behind some of the most famous faces of the 20th century.
