With Springtide, on view through August 2, 2026, the Greenville County Museum of Art, in Greenville SC, US, widely regarded as one of the leading art museums in the American South, provides an ideal setting for the latest chapter in Eric Dever’s painterly exploration. His canvases, born from close observation of gardens, branches, blossoms, and subtle atmospheric shifts, find a natural resonance in a building where architecture and light are integral to the aesthetic experience. The museum’s significance lies not only in the quality of its spaces but also in its remarkable collection of American art, which includes the nation’s largest public collection of watercolors by Andrew Wyeth and an important group of works by South Carolina–born artist Jasper Johns. Together, these holdings make the GCMA an essential destination for understanding American art from the nineteenth century to the present.
