Opening Reception | Paintings: James Rieck's On Location


The artist states, "One's relationship with their environment is a critical definer of how they feel about themselves and the world. The artist's studio is the place where artists usually feel at ease to experiment and explore. The idea behind the new body of work was to explore what a different environment does to the artist's 'natural' approach."
