Big Paintings in Black & White, Small Works in Color

Today our July exhibitor Richard Samuelson finished hanging his show which will be up in the gallery through this month. Almost every inch of wall space is covered with his captivating pieces, so much so that it almost feels as though you're inside the mind of the artist. The large paintings in greyscale are offset by small, colorful acrylic works. Though the sizes all vary, there is almost a uniformity in shape, and very playful cartoons and sketches are intermingled between the aforementioned paintings. Samuelson has provided us with an array of swirling brushstrokes and fierce line work that appears to have been pulled from a far off plane or emotional realm that is closest to the artist himself. Join us next Friday evening, July 10, for a Meet the Artist Reception at the Ocean City Arts Center from 6-8:30 pm.
