Gathering 2018

"Gathering" (2018) by Nick Alm (b. 1985) is a realist painting depicting a group of people gathered in a room. The composition is dominated by a large chandelier, casting a soft light on the scene. The figures are mostly obscured in shadow, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. The painting's somber tone suggests a formal occasion, possibly a funeral or a somber gathering. Alm's painting exemplifies contemporary realism, focusing on the intricacies of human interaction and the subtle play of light and shadow.
