Rick Fleury: Paintings and Writings
Sponsored by AddisonArtGallery
The artist introduced a series of paintings accompanied by essays inspired by the natural beauty of Cape Cod at a special reading at the gallery Sunday, August 3. Fleury shared his first two essays and corresponding paintings of the Natural Affairs series. The aim is to create a personal narrative and artistic interpretation of the environmental, spiritual and historical aspects found in nature. The work will reference the artist’s own major influences in art and living, incorporating writings from noted philosophers, writers, artists, world leaders and others.The works will eventually be published periodically prior to becoming a book. Publishers are yet to be chosen.
From AddisonArt: "While Rick is known throughout the country for his
paintings, he is also an accomplished writer. A graduate of the University of
Colorado School of Journalism, Rick gained a solid reputation as a journalist,
writing for the award-winning weekly Vineyard Gazette on Martha's Vineyard,
as well as the Cape Cod Times and The Boston Globe. His writing has also appeared
in The New York Times, Adweek's Brandweek and The Village Voice."
