Landscapes Near Me

A SOLO EXHIBITION OF RICHARD RAISELIS

JANUARY 20 – MARCH 6, 2026

Landscapes Near Me by artist Richard Raiselis presents paintings created over three decades in and around Boston, from university studios to high-floor city views and the artist’s suburban home. Working outdoors or beside expansive windows, Raiselis embraces shifting light, weather, and spontaneous encounters with nature to shape large, vivid works made directly from life. The exhibition highlights his commitment to color, atmosphere, and the sensory experience of place, enhanced at the 808 Gallery by natural north light that echoes the conditions in which the paintings were made.

Join BU Art Galleries on Thursday, February 12, from 5 – 7pm for a reception to celebrate Richard Raiselis and his work. The event and exhibition are free and open to the public.
