“Something About Summer: Paintings by Mark Barry”
\nJuly 16-October 2, 2016<\/h2>\n

Meet the artist: Saturday, July 16, 3PM<\/p>\n

“Something About Summer” in the Regional Artists Gallery is a vibrant exhibition of recent paintings by Baltimore and North Bennington painter Mark Barry, who describes his work as \u201c[p]ainting the seemingly ordinary moments in life that aren\u2019t ordinary at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show features a number of Barry\u2019s paintings, varying in size and all based on images of the everyday life he creates with family and friends in Maryland, Vermont and Massachusetts, all locations he calls home. Whether it’s biking, exploring nature, or swinging on a swing, the artist uses rich color to portray movement and that particular instant in life. Drawing inspiration from everyday observations and depicting his family in everyday situations, preparing meals, playing board games, celebrating, and relaxing, it is the genuine appreciation of life that comes through in Barry\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Educated at the Swain School of Design in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Barry\u2019s most recent solo exhibitions have included Fleckenstein Gallery, Steven Scott Gallery, both in Baltimore; The Vermont Arts Exchange, North Bennington; and the International Print Center, New York, among others. His paintings are held in the collections of National City Bank, Louisville, Kentucky; Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland; The Baltimore Sun<\/em>, Baltimore, Maryland; Brown and Forman, Louisville, Kentucky; Merck & Company, Washington, DC.; and Health Insurance Association of America, Washington, DC, among others.<\/p>\n
