With an eye for subtle beauty and a dedication to continual study, T. Allen Lawson works and paints in the tradition of earlier representational artists. His paintings, drawings and etchings are consistently evolving expressions of the artist and his surroundings. These paintings reflect a discipline he developed of patiently observing his world, studying the often unnoticed rhythms and subtleties of landscapes and in his surroundings, especially on his farm in Maine.
Tim formally studied portraiture and figure drawing at the American Academy of Art in Chicago and at the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut.
His work is part of the permanent collections of the Denver Art Museum, Yale University Art Gallery, Portland Museum of Art, Whitney Western Art Museum of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, Florence Griswold Museum and the Farnsworth Art Museum. In 2008, T. Allen Lawson was chosen to create the White House Christmas card. That painting is now a permanent part of the White House art collection and the Smithsonian Institution.
The opening reception is Thursday, July 9. The works will be on view through August 7. Gallery hours are Monday - Saturday, 10am - 4pm. The artist will present a lecture on Thursday, August 6. Reservations are required for the lecture. Please RSVP to 860-434-3571 X-124.
