Gallery reception: nasisse + harrington
August 10 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Members of the Arts community are going to be talking about this show for years to come, you do not want to miss this showcase featuring two nationally renowned artists. Richard C. Harrington has been a professional artist for 33 years, and has placed over 900 paintings in private collections in North America and Europe. In addition to landscape, his ongoing series of barn paintings are a second body of work, evolving over the past fifteen years. He is currently represented by several galleries throughout the county. Andy Nasisse, a professional practicing artist for the last 50 years, who has had 33 articles written about his work, brings his ceramic vessels to the Kinder Padon Gallery. Naisisse uses the figure, the vessel, and the landscape as a primary image (or mythic image) through which thoughts about the human condition are expressed.
