Art Exhibit at Gallery 175

Patterns and Textures at Gallery 175

Gallery 175, located in downtown Pawtucket, RI, is hosting an exhibit of artwork by Richard Harrington, painter; Robert Easton, photographer, and Rhea Nowak, printmaker. The exhibit opens on July 10 and runs through August 19.

Accomplished artist and teacher, Richard Harrington, creates acrylic paintings executed in an Abstract Expressionistic style. Underlying his painterly abstract images are rectangular patterns that emerge and disappear into soft clouds of luminous color. Deft brushstrokes add richness and texture to his surfaces.

Robert Easton is a world traveler who recently returned to the area from El Salvador. He is exhibiting street scenes of Cuba taken during two recent trips. His photographs capture the contrast of buildings painted in bright colors and bold patterns impacted with the textures and patina of passing time.

The hand-pulled prints of Rhea Nowak, an artist from upstate New York, involves landscapes coupled with textures and patterns based in written and pictographic languages. Employing a variety of printmaking processes as well as direct handwork, she creates abstract images that play off of one another, often in ambiguous relationships alluding to meanings yet to be deciphered.

Gallery 175 is located at 175 Main Street in historic downtown Pawtucket, RI, adjacent to the Blackstone Valley Visitor Center and across from historic Slater Mill. The gallery is open to the public, free of charge from 10 am to 4 pm Monday through Friday and there is ample parking. A reception for the artists will take place, Sunday, July 10 from 1 to 3 pm.
