Opening Reception Saturday, January 3, 2026, 4 - 6 PM
America speaks for itself. The entire country is beautiful if you can appreciate any scene for what it is. How boring it would be if all landscapes looked alike, if there were no mountains or open spaces or old structures with a story. Art should bring forth thought. Maybe that thought is a memory, a fear, a question or a warm feeling. The countryside of America does it all which is the motivation for my work.
“Philip Geiger: A Tribute” opens Friday, February 6th from 5:30 - 7:30 in downtown Staunton, VA at Gallery 22, formerly the Beverley Street Studio School Gallery with a Gallery talk at 6pm. The show will run from February 6 - March 22. This exhibit represents 40 years of oil paintings by Philip Geiger, an artist who taught at the University of Virginia for 38 years and retired to Staunton in 2017.
Geiger showed regularly in the United States, mostly in New York and throughout Virginia, with several shows in California and North Carolina. Most recently, StevenFrancis Fine Art in Lynchburg hosted a year of shows related to Geiger called the Philip Geiger Project along with a blog of essays contributed by artists culminating in a Retrospective at the University of Lynchburg in the fall of 2025.
Geiger passed away January 6 from ALS. He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Geiger and his son Martin Geiger, both artists who teach occasional art classes, and by his daughter Helen Geiger who teaches art full time at Stuart Hall School.
