THE ART CENTER PRESENTS: JIM REAGAN:...Description
The Art Center in Dover, NH is currently exhibiting the work of much beloved local artist Jim Reagan. Reagan has been a prolific New England artist for over 30 years. His primary subjects are landscapes of the beautiful New England coast from Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Throughout his life he has travelled extensively, so his work also includes delightful depictions of European scenes. What makes Reagan’s work exceptional is his luscious use of saturated color and the way he fashions sunlight playing throughout each piece. Jim works in both oil and watercolor and, in the last few years, has added a new medium to his repertoire, collage; "I started the collage making as a way to recycle a lot of old watercolors. The torn pieces are used to make organic shapes such as trees and flowers. The cut shapes are used to make architectural shapes such as houses, bridges and buildings. The end result is a unique, whimsical and animated work of art.”
Jim studied art at Bowling Green State University, graduating with a B.S. in Art Education. After he left teaching, Jim coupled painting with a life in the airline industry as a flight attendant, thus giving him blocks of time to devote to his artistic development. His work has been awarded and resides in private collections around the world.
The Artist’ Reception will take place this Friday, October 4th during Dover’s monthly Art Walk. You can meet Jim Reagan in person from 6 to 8 PM.Tell a Friend
