Richard Whitten
March 6 - April 12, 2015
Opening Reception: March 6, 5-7pm
Richard Whitten is an artist and professor who creates gorgeously imagined architectural spaces and invented objects, painted realistically in the style of the Renaissance.
On display will be large and small exquisitely executed paintings and the accompanying study models he creates for the paintings.
“Ultimately my paintings are about intellectual play - an impetus for learning and exploration.”
-Richard Whitten
Richard Whitten earned a B.A. in Economics from Yale University and an MFA in Painting from the University of California at Davis where he studied with both Wayne Thiebaud and Robert Arneson. He is presently a Professor of Painting at Rhode Island College.
