Description

Realist painter and master of hyper-realism Richard Mizdal will present an exhibit of oil paintings at the Eastern Campus of Suffolk County Community College’s Lyceum Gallery August 27 – October 24.
 
Reality Check features Richard Mizdal’s oil paintings in sizes up to six feet wide.  Mizdal is a realist painter who has mastered the art of hyper-realism that he applies to create magic realities that harken to the surrealism of Rene Magritte, or the graphic illusionism of M.C. Escher.  Mr. Mizdal often paints interiors that lead to exteriors using frameworks such a window, a trellis, or a ship’s railing to lead the viewer to a new dimension.  The artist renders framed reflections and incongruously scaled objects in “through the looking glass” worlds.  The viewer may wander between realities and ultimately find that reality is in the eye of the beholder.
 
The Lyceum Gallery is located in the Montaukett Learning Resource Center on the Eastern Campus of Suffolk County Community College in Riverhead.  An artist’s reception will be held on Thursday, September 17 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.  Refreshments will be served. The public is welcome.
