PUTNEY-Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill, presents "Art Array," a solo exhibition of work by Vermont-based painter Ricky McEachern, opening with a reception and artist talk on Thursday, May 29, from 6 to 8 p.m. This event is free.
A recent transplant from Boston with deep New England roots, McEachern "brings a keen eye to the intersection of human history and the natural world," wrote event promoters in a news release. His oil paintings - many drawn from his own photography - capture vintage and abandoned man-made structures, exploring the aging buildings, forgotten mills, and nature's slow reclamation of once-celebrated spaces.
McEachern's subjects span the New England's vast visual terrain, from green mountains and rocky coastlines to small towns and urban pockets. His work "invites viewers to reflect on memory, time, and the relationship between built environments and the landscapes they inhabit," wrote organizers.
"Art Array" will be on view at the Next Stage Gallery through Aug. 10. The gallery is open during Next Stage events and by appointment with the artist or by contacting Next Stage. To RSVP and for more information, visit nextstagearts.org.
