Artist Statement
“Rick Lacey, a recent graduate of the Lyme Academy of fine arts in Old Lyme, Connecticut, is a large scale figurative oil painter. His work deals with the figure depicted on a monumental scale. The work is monochromatic and is focused on form, line and the effect of light. He is interested in imagery that allows the viewer to see the artist’s hand at work, thinly painted areas that leave the ground to show. He is also interested in conveying internal thought in his paintings, the figure in profile allows for the portrait to have no direct outside focus. He works to create simple images that convey internal thought of iconic figures.”
