⛵️ The Guild of Boston Artists is proud to present "Lighting the Landscape", a solo exhibition of paintings by Harley Bartlett at our Newbury Street Gallery from October 31 - November 28. The show will feature over 40 of the Rhode Island artist's studio oil paintings, each a visual poem articulated in a language of light on land. Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, October 31st, from 3 pm - 5pm. Meet Harley and enjoy an afternoon of art and conversation. Light refreshments will be served. We hope to see you there!
A New Englander in home, heritage, and spirit, Harley Bartlett has dedicated himself to Northeastern landscapes for over 30 years. The marshy coast of the Narragansett Bay and the deep forests and grand trees of the Great North Woods of the Adirondack Mountains are replete with memories going back to a childhood influenced by both art and the outdoors. Speaking of this relationship, Bartlett explains, "I recall emotional responses of mine as a child to color and light in nature. Its beauty was impactful and when I saw paintings that evoked that quality, I was captivated." While Bartlett casts a wide net as a muralist, portrait painter, and decorative designer, his fine art career has been defined by an enduring desire to express his thoughts on the landscape.
