my interview: A
Lasting Reminder of Your Home: Home Portraits "BOSTON'S HOME AND GARDEN"
Magazine, 2003
For many of us, the house we live
in comes to express so much of who we are, almost like a passport
of our home lives. That's why it's becoming increasingly popular
for homeowners to commission a portrait of their home that can
remind them and future generations of what the house looked like
at a particular time in its-and their-lives.
In Europe, where people frequently
decorate their residencies and offices with original artwork, it
is not uncommon to see a home portrait. Here, in the United
States, the practice is less common, but gaining in popularity.
And it does require special skills. Arch. Gruzewski,
resident of Massachusetts brings the elegance of Europe to Boston
with his lavish watercolor paintings. "I think watercolor painting
is more attractive, lighter, more sophisticated as any media,"
says arch. Gruzewski., who brings to the work both a long history
of art education and a masters degree in architectural design from
MIT, Cambridge. "Strong architectural background is necessary to
paint architectural landmarks, residencies, villas," he says.
"Sometimes there are ten, or eleven layers of depth, several
complicated perspective points involved, which make my watercolors
much more difficult to create than other paintings (like
landscapes or abstracts)." As
with people, the process of having a home portrait done requires
that the artist see the subject in its best light. "If I am
invited by a client to paint I do it at a site" explains artist,
"If I cannot come, I request several photos of the residence from
different angles." He reviews the photos with the homeowner to
select the most favorable angle and takes the photo back to his
studio to create the painting, which takes about a week to
complete. Most of his Residential Portraits, and Architectural
Landmarks are 20"x 29" (50 cm x 73cm). Double sizes can be
commissioned and created as well. The finished work includes
wonderful details on both the home and the garden. Jerry often
delivers his art works to local clients in person, and ready for
whatever framing the client has in mind. For centuries,
architectural home portraits were commissioned exclusively by the
European aristocracy, for whom Jerry painted while in Europe,
between 1983 and 2003.
For the rest of us, paintings
by Gruzewski will run around $7,500 with
additional costs for framing, and traveling..
Architectural landmarks are more time taking and usually cost a
few hundreds more, which is still a bargain considering his art
works outstanding qualities not found in most art galleries, very
high market and artistic values. He has been painting for 24
years. Jerry's name is known to many internationally recognized
art collectors, dealers, organizations and art
galleries. Written by Mrs. Linda L., July 2003, for the
Boston's Home and Garden
