Through Nick’s Eyes: A Tribute
to Nicholas Ohly (1938-2007)
The Arts Council of Greater New Haven presents Through
Nick’s Eyes: A Tribute to Nicholas Ohly (1938-2007)
in the Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery, at 70 Audubon St.,
2nd floor. The exhibition will be on display Monday, March
29 through Friday, May 21. A public reception is scheduled
for Thursday, May 20, from 5 to 7pm.
For 40 years, Nicholas Ohly documented his experiences, however
ordinary or extraordinary, in pocket-size notebooks. He made
notes to himself, drew scenes and landscapes, and pasted small
pieces of paper on which he’d drawn onto the pages of
the notebooks.
Ohly spent his life capturing that which piqued his interest
through photography, watercolors, ink-pencil and charcoal
drawings, and, of course, the notebooks he was rarely without.
In 1968, Ohly and his wife, Sara, came to New Haven, where
for 40 years he worked as an architect with Kevin Roche John
Dinkeloo and Associates on projects that included the Central
Park Zoo and Metropolitan Museum of Art.
While he was studying architecture at Harvard University’s
Graduate School of Design, Ohly spent portions of three summers
on an archeological dig in Greece, from which he traveled,
camera in-hand, through Turkey to Syria, Jordan, and Iran.
Decades later, Ohly took a year off to live in the Netherlands,
where he painted, visited galleries, and kept detailed journals
about his days.
Through Nick’s Eyes is a collection of Ohly’s
works in various media created over 40 years.
