Richard Raiselis: Landscapes Near Me

Boston University Art Galleries announces Landscapes Near Me by artist Richard Raiselis. The exhibition 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.

Landscapes Near Me is on view at BU Art Galleries' 808 Gallery from January 20 - March 6, 2026. The gallery is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11am - 5pm. All BU Art Galleries' exhibitions are free, open to the public.

A reception for the show will be held on February 12 from 5 - 7pm, also free and open to all.
