Ray Alban: Maine to Spain

June 11 - August 27, 2022
Munroe Family Community Gallery

Ray Alban brings alive the regional landscapes of his many travels to Europe and throughout the United States in his Impressionistic paintings. He creates his paintings en plein air, or outdoors in nature, celebrating the simple charm of country houses and palm tree-lined waterways, as well as architectural wonders and majestic seascapes. Alban's painterly approach using flickering lines of layered colors produces varied textures and hues in every work. The contrasting cool and warm tones entice the viewer to study the subject matter of each work, revealing the artist's mastery of color harmonies. The painter's fine arts education and successful career in advertising are apparent in his dynamic diagonal compositions. Image: Ray Alban, Carillion Beach, FL, acrylic, 12x16 inches.
