Plein Air West Reading 2020 will be judged by Dan Graziano, an award-winning, nationally exhibited artist.
Dan is best known for paintings that capture the hidden beauty found in the unexpected places and fleeting moments of everyday life. Incorporating dramatic light, shadow, color and perspective, his urban compositions feature the visual diversity of time-worn buildings and multiple layers of decay, renewal and adaptation. His work reflects strength, authenticity and influences by American realists John Singer Sargent, Edward Hopper and the three generations of Wyeths along with California artists Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn.
Dan’s recent exhibitions include:
• Restaurant Life (solo show 2018), Roux & Cyr International Fine Art Gallery, Portland, ME
• Solo Exhibition (2017), Roux & Cyr International Fine Art Gallery, Portland, ME
