Event summary

Highlights

Kevin Beers’ representational paintings of Monhegan Island and coastal Maine
Henry Isaacs’ impressionist-style works depicting the scenery of Cranberry Island
First Friday reception on July 3 from 5-7 p.m. featuring both artists

Gleason Fine Art hosts two distinct art exhibitions showcasing the rugged beauty of the Maine coast. “Kevin Beers: Light and Shadow” features representational realism inspired by the likes of Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent. Beers’ work focuses on the dramatic headlands, lighthouses, and stark-white buildings of the Midcoast and Monhegan Island, emphasizing the play of sharp shadows and brilliant coastal light.

Running alongside Beers' work is “Henry Isaacs: Sailing on a Deep Blue Sea.” Isaacs, who has taught and painted globally, draws inspiration from his time on Cranberry Island. His style is characterized by energetic, self-assured brushwork reminiscent of French Impressionism, using a delicate palette of blues, greens, and pinks to depict changing ocean waters and billowing clouds. Both artists are scheduled to attend a First Friday reception on July 3 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
