When observing trees, change is a constant. The passing of the seasons, the weather, and the time of the day produce endless variations in light, shape, and color. Both subtle and abrupt, these changes challenge self-taught painter Ricardo Maldonado to embrace the shifting elements of the natural world, creating expressive yet wholly recognizable shapes that elicit unexpected emotions. The paintings of Ricardo Maldonado will be exhibited in the Hunnewell Building at the Arnold Arboretum beginning July 30 through September 11, and a reception with the artist will take place Wednesday, August 3, from 6 – 8 in the Hunnewell Building Lecture Hall. The event is free. For more information, call 617-384-5209, or visit www.arboretum.harvard.edu/news-events/art-shows/. Below is “Forest in Fall” found at www.redbubble.com.
