Rod Massey: New Paintings November 17, 2009

In this exhibition, Massey continues to explore the nooks and crannies of the varied Twin Cities neighborhoods. Back alleys, apartment side yards, parking lots and empty school yards all are potential subjects for Massey's inspection. Massey is part of a group of contemporary Midwestern artists dedicated to re-examining and continuing the tradition of American Realist scene painting. To this tradition of portraying towns, cities and villages, Massey has added a unique personal twist, casting a subtle comic shadow on the ordinary places in our lives.
