Fred Reichman – The Spirit in Everyday Things: Open House

Sat., March 7, 2020, 11am-5pm

Fred Reichman painted in the unusual medium of Alkyd, an alcohol based resinous compound that dries very quickly.

Imagery is built up by countless layers of color, a process that is frequently revealed on one edge of the painting.

Each work is quiet and meditative and demands considerable interaction with the viewer before giving up its secrets.

The reward ranges from simple delight to a profound sense of wellbeing. They are well worth the effort.

The subject matter of Reichman’s artwork, his visual poems, in The Spirit in Everyday Things, is of everyday objects, family members, his pet cat Issa, and spontaneous encounters with wildlife, that are transformed out of the ordinary.
