“Symphony of Color and Light”
Featuring Richard Mittelstadt
Artist Reception: Saturday May 11th 7pm-9pm
Where: Frameworks Gallery 2022A Ford Parkway
Show Dates: May 4th to June 15th 2019
Treat your eyes and imagination to fascinating acrylic paintings of colors, shapes, and lines by the award winning Minnesota artist, Richard Mittelstadt. Richard’s recent creative works will be on display in a solo show at our gallery. Rick, as he likes to be called, is well known for his work in acrylic paintings of abstract landscapes and non-objective designs. Rick’s paintings are bold in color and artful in message.
Rick has chosen to raffle three paintings with the proceeds going to Team World Vision for clean water projects in Africa. Raffle tickets are $6 each, 2 for $10, 4 for $20. Tickets will be on sale from May 4th throughout the show; winners will be contacted from the gallery. Rick will also be giving away 5x7 watercolors at his artist reception as a thank you gift (while supplies last).
About the artist:
Having taught high school art with a Masters degree for 38 years, Rick has an extensive background in art history, materials, concepts, and processes. While working on his college degrees in art education and studio art, he focused on drawing, printmaking, and jewelry making. While teaching high school art education, he concentrated on landscape watercolor painting. After retiring, he turned his attention to acrylic painting.
Rick thinks of his artwork as a theatrical production in which the viewer is allowed to temporarily suspend disbelief. For the viewer, his artwork becomes a momentary distraction—a gift of enchantment, amusement and emotional connection.
Quoting Rick, “I totally enjoy the magic that takes place during the painting process. As I immerse myself into each creative adventure, I often times find myself feeling transported into another dimension as if time no longer exists and my imagination and hands go about materializing a new image with color, line, texture, a sense of movement, balance, expression, and mood.”
We looks forward to seeing you!
