Richard Raiselis: Soliloquy

On View: March 11 - April 30, 2021
The artist will be present: March 19, April 2, 16, 30, 2 - 4 PM

Perched views of Boston’s skyline are paired harmoniously with views from the artist’s back porch in a suburb west of Boston.

Paintings of man-made structures mimic the forms of robust trees in the woodland landscape. Light filtered through branches and foliage imitates the bright reflections against gridded windowpanes.

The exhibition is varied in subject matter yet synchronized in its approach. Intimate portraits of trees and high rises are rendered with the same exquisite care and detail.
