On July 18, Greg Allen, a Reno artist long known for his photorealistic paintings of a changing Reno, held the second of two weekend pop-up exhibitions at the historic house at 216 E. Liberty St., which was the office of now-retired attorney Paul Quade.
The show featured new paintings and prints of some old classics. There were high desert landscapes, powerful portraits of interesting characters, and gritty, urban scenes of Nevada’s neon past. Allen’s portrayal of the old Zephyr bar’s neon sign (left), complete with a neon martini glass and neon olive, is a perennial favorite.
The exhibition will be up for part of August and can be viewed by appointment. To request an appointment, email paulequade1967@gmail.com.
