Gleason Fine Art opens “Henry Isaacs: New Work” on Thursday, July 28. The show runs through August 30, with a reception for Henry on First Friday, August 5, from 5 to 7 pm. This is the renowned artist’s second solo show at the Boothbay Harbor gallery, and it with be a large one, with over two dozen paintings, some of them monumental in size. As always, the public is encouraged to attend the August 5 reception and have the chance to meet one of Maine’s most highly respected and beloved artists.
Henry Isaacs’ approach to painting mirrors the way he lives his life–with passion, energy, intelligence, joy, and self-assurance. His style–broken brushwork with a complex, multilayered palette of delicate blues, greens, pinks, and yellows–marks him as one of the most recognizable artists working in Maine today.
The reaction of a first-time viewer to Henry Isaacs’ paintings is inevitably, “Wow, his work is so beautiful and full of joy. Is the artist like that himself?” And the answer to the question is absolutely “Yes.” Henry is one of the most engaging, joyous, and compassionate people you will ever meet. Self-effacing, yet worldly and well read, Isaacs has an immense number of collectors and Facebook followers. Yet he is always generous with his time and passionate about the world we live in.
Gleason Fine Art, 31 Townsend Avenue, Boothbay Harbor, is very pleased to present “Henry Isaacs: New Work,” beginning July 28 and running through August 30, with the reception for Henry on First Friday, August 5, 5 to 7 pm. Please come and join the fun! For further information, call the gallery at 207-633-6849. Summer hours are Monday through Saturday, 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday, 11 am to 4 pm
