TONIGHT, AUGUST 28 – Join us for the opening reception of “Robert Ross: The Architecture of Light” alongside “Out of the Vault: Permanent Collection Curated”. Reception will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. with a talk by the artist from 6:30-7 p.m.

From urban landscapes and interiors to people in moments of candid activity, the paintings of Robert Ross are meditations on “visual moments” — views that seem to be suspended in time due to the way shapes, spaces, and light come together.

Admission: Members Free | Future Members $20

OPENING TOMORROW, AUGUST 28

“Robert Ross: The Architecture of Light” and “Out of the Vault: Permanent Collection Curated” will open from 5-7 p.m. at our downtown DeLand gallery space. The artist will join us from 6:30-7 p.m. with remarks on the exhibition.

Robert Ross paints the world around him. On his daily walks and driving around town, he takes note of scenes that catch his eye. He looks for the way trees, houses, streets, and sky interact and create ever-changing compositions. He sees shapes and spaces first, then light, shadows, and colors. Sometimes it is the process of painting that reveals visual moments to him. His work conveys a certain suspense, the sense that something has just happened, or is about to happen.

Admission: Members Free | Future Members $20

✨ Coming soon: Two must-see exhibitions that inspire second glances. ✨ “Robert Ross: The Architecture of Light” and “Out of the Vault: Permanent Collection Curated” will be on view August 29–October 18.

Robert Ross paints the world around him. His meditations on visual moments offer views that are seemingly suspended in time. Transitional spaces, scenes of quiet stillness, and the mystery of the commonplace come together with light and form to create a palpable sense of anticipation – the sense that something has just happened, or is about to happen.

Meanwhile, “Out of the Vault: Permanent Collection Curated” captures moments of movement and stillness, presence and possibility – assembled from the Museum's permanent collection. Featured artists include Jack Mitchell, Jerome Witkin, Jerry Weiss, Les Slesnik, Reynier Llanes, Richard Segalman, William Entrekin, and more.
