Gallery North, Prolonged Perception Recent Paintings by Doug Reina through May 22, 2022

Prolonged Perception  Recent Paintings by Doug Reina On View at Gallery North  April 7 - May 22

Doug Reina’s first solo exhibition at Gallery North, Prolonged Perception: Recent Paintings by Doug Reina highlights the artist’s exploration of obscure, ordinary spaces of contemporary life that are often shielded from view. Austere, brooding compositions, Reina’s paintings find a dream-like emptiness within back streets, shacks, and overgrown backyards. Each painting begins black. Color and form are added over a black ground, lifting them out of the picture plane. Colors blast forth. There are broad flashes of light, but the black ground remains visible everywhere. It pops out between brushstrokes or creates a colossal abyss below buildings, pulling the rug out from underneath them. There is a rootlessness here. We wander in some lucid dream, half remembered; amid dark voids and divine light. He leads us into a space of sharp contrasts, one in which our eye fragments into the surface it contemplates.  Edward M. Puchner  Executive Director  Gallery North

Oil Painting Lessons with Doug Reina

Oil Painting Lessons with Doug Reina Recently I have been asked if I could offer an oil painting class for beginners, as well as an additional class for intermediate students at my studio on Main Street in Setauket. Since my Tuesday class is currently full, I am looking to add classes for eitherWednesday or Thursday morning, starting at 10:00 a.m. The Beginner's class will teach the student the fundamentals of oil painting and also provide instruction on how to go about painting the subject before them. The Intermediate class is for the student who has experience working with oils but wants to expand their creative approach in making their own unique work. Both classes involve working in the studio, as well as painting outdoors. There are also times when the class will hire a model to work with. If you're interested in taking either one of these classes please let me know soon as space is limited - once I have a few more students enrolled, we can get a class started. Classes are for 3 hours and cost $60 each or $225 for 4 sessions.
