April Gornik (born 1953, Cleveland, Ohio) is an American artist who paints American landscapes.〔 Her realist yet dreamlike paintings and drawings embody oppositions and speak to America's historically conflicted relationship with nature. While she doesn't categorize herself as an environmental artist, she is a passionate supporter of environmental causes and has said, "I have no problem with people reading an ecological message into my work." Her husband is painter Eric Fischl.〔Biography at EricFischl.com, accessed 8 September 2006.〕 Art dealer Ed Thorp hosted her first solo exhibition in 1981, after having caught sight of her paintings while viewing Fischl's work. She is influenced by the feminist consciousness-raising of the late 20th century and, in speaking about female artists who have worked in the shadows of better known male artists, including Elaine de Kooning and Lee Krasner, she has said, "It's a problem. Women artists still receive lower prices for their art and remain less shown than their male counterparts." 〔 Among the public collections in America and Canada that include Gornik's paintings, her ''Virga'' (1992) and ''Storm and Fires'' (1990) are held in the Smithsonian American Art Museum collection.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery )〕 Gornik has received several awards: the Neuberger Museum of Art Annual Honoree (2004), the Lifetime Achievement in the Arts Honoree by the Guild Hall Academy of the Arts (2003), and the Award of Excellence for Artistic Contributions to the Fight Against AIDS from the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR). In 2007, the Smithsonian Art Collectors Program commissioned Gornik to produce a print to benefit the educational and cultural programs of the Smithsonian Associates in 2007. The lithograph, entitled ''Blue Moonlight'' hangs in the ongoing exhibition ''Graphic Eloquence'' in the S. Dillon Ripley Center in the National Mall, Washington, D.C.〔 ==One person exhibitions== Gornik's work has been showcased in numerous one person exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the world.〔 2014 :Danese/Corey, New York, NY 2013 :''Storm: Paintings by April Gornik'', Dayton Art Institute, Dayton, Ohio 2012 :Barbara Edwards Contemporary, Toronto, ON, Canada 2011 :Danese, New York, NY 2010 :The Art Show, ADAA Danese Booth, New York, NY 2009 :''The Luminous Landscapes of April Gornik'', The Heckscher Museum, Huntington, NY 2008 :Danese, New York, NY 2006 :Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin, OH 2005 :Danese, New York, NY :Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, NS, Canada :Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, Lincoln, NE 2004 :''April Gornik: Painting and Drawings'', Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase, NY (exhibition traveled to Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Halifax, NS; Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery, Lincoln, NE; Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH) 2003 :Danese Gallery, New York, NY 2002 :Pace Prints, New York, NY :Huntington Museum of Art, Huntington, WV 2001 :Danese, New York, NY 2000 :Edward Thorp Gallery, New York, NY 1999 :Glenn Horowitz Booksellers, East Hampton, NY :Harley Baldwin Gallery, Aspen, CO 1998 :The University of the Arts, Philadelphia, PA :Museum of American Art of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA 1997 :Turner & Runyon Gallery, Dallas, TX 1996 :Edward Thorp Gallery, New York, NY 1995 :Kohn-Turner Gallery, Los Angeles, California 1994 :Edward Thorp Gallery, New York, NY :Guild Hall Museum, East Hampton, NY :Offshore Gallery, East Hampton, NY 1993 :Frederick R.
