RANGELEY — The Rangeley Friends of the Arts and the Lakeside Contemporary Art Gallery will host an opening reception for the exhibit “Rick Osterhout – Sculpture,” from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, May 24.
There will be light appetizers and a cash bar at the gallery in the lobby of the RFA Lakeside Theater, on Main Street. The exhibit continues through July 1. The reception and exhibition are free and open to the public.
“My sculpture is multi-faceted and varied,” said Osterhout. “All of it starts conceptually and some of it stays there, but throughout I want my work to be pleasing to the eye, well put together and have good composition.”
He passionately loves the natural world and tries to tread lightly on it. The materials he works with are often recycled, from trees he’s selectively cut, from one of the barns he’s saved from the landfill or rocks he has found. He also enjoys using his mind, hands and skills to creatively express thoughts or pay homage.
The gallery is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, as well as when the theater is open for events. For more information visit rangeleyarts.org.
