Exhibition Reception for Richard Raiselis: Landscapes Near Me

Join Boston University Art Galleries in celebrating artist Richard Raiselis and his exhibition, Landscapes Near Me, on view at BU's 808 Gallery from January 20 - March 6, 2026.

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.
