Running through July 25, Gleason Fine Art is running two new shows titled “Andrea Peters: In Living Color” and “Kevin Beers: From Manana to Havana.” The opening reception for Beers and Peters is July 7 from 5-7 p.m. The public is invited to join Andrea and Kevin and enjoy a glass of Monhegan Brewing Beer or fine wine.
ANDREA PETERS: IN LIVING COLOR
An East Boothbay artist, Peters’ world is outside her windows — salty inlets, mossy ledges, towering spruces and colorful flower and vegetable gardens. Peters and her husband, Mark, have lived in Little River, East Boothbay, for nearly two decades, just about as long as she has shown her colorful paintings at Gleason Fine Art.
When Kevin Beers first walked into Gleason Fine Art nearly 20 years ago, he had just given up his Manhattan position as an art director in order to follow his passion, becoming a full-time artist. He had just begun to paint landscapes, but focused primarily on old cars and trucks that had caught his eye. Beers studied each vehicle to discover its story, so each painting became a kind of portrait. A peagreen truck with lots of missing paint became “Rusty,” and a car with a particularly ferocious looking grille became “Vampire.”
