NORWAY — The Western Maine Art Group will begin its spring season with a First Friday Reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, April 1, at the Matolcsy Art Center, 480 Main St.
The gallery’s new exhibit will feature the artwork of Michael Ranucci and guest artists.
Ranucci’s work is in collections locally and across the United States. He is an elected member in the Connecticut Academy of Fine Art and the Hudson Valley Art Association. His work ranges from refined studio work to lively plein air works. Primarily an oil painter, his work also includes charcoal and other drawing methods. He has offered local workshops and instruction at his home studio for more than 12 years. His work is interpretive, and seeks to bring out an aesthetic he sees in each subject. Nature is his guide for reference, but also for departure. He seeks only the aesthetic he sees in his mind’s eye – to create a beautiful painting.
As part of the exhibit, Ranucci has invited several of his colleagues to contribute their artwork.
This exhibit will be open Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. in April, by appointment, and whenever else the “OPEN” flag is displayed. The gallery is free and open to the public.
