The RAM opening reception for PATRICK ANGUS: PAINTINGS AND WORKS ON PAPER will be Thursday, September 10, 5-7PM. Reception will be free for RAM members and $5 for non-members. The exhibit will be on view through December 6, 2015.
This exhibit highlights landscapes, portraits and still life paintings by American artist Patrick Angus (1953-1992) whose work is currently beginning to receive critical and international acclaim. An artist from early childhood, Angus produced hundreds of works throughout the course of his short-lived career. Living on the fringes of mainstream society, Angus was deemed by playwright Robert Patrick as "The Toulouse-Lautrec of Times Square," due to the fact he illustrated the gritty and less glamorous aspects of New York City. This body of more than 50 works focuses on another dimension of this exceptional artist, and explores Angus' evolution from a novice to a seasoned artist.
