1515 Lincoln Gallery is proud to present Shanks Family Tradition, a stunning exhibition on view from September 10 to 26. Curated by gallery artist Chris Brizzard, the exhibition celebrates the enduring legacy of renowned realist painter Nelson Shanks through works by his children, Annalisa and Alexander Shanks, alongside fellow Studio Incamminati artist Stephen Bush. Together, their paintings reflect a shared commitment to craftsmanship, direct observation, strong drawing, and the expressive use of color, principles passed from one generation of artists to the next.

More than a family exhibition, Shanks Family Tradition explores the relationships, mentorship, and artistic values that continue to shape representational painting today. Tracing a lineage from the academies of Europe to Studio Incamminati in Philadelphia, the exhibition reveals how timeless traditions can evolve through new perspectives while remaining rooted in the pursuit of artistic excellence. Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, September 10, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., or visit the exhibition throughSeptember 26
