Artist Rick J. Delanty’s solo exhibit “Beauty Unites Us” is on view through June 6 at Casa Romantica.
The exhibit features 24 recent paintings, including works painted during the pandemic and onsite. The solo show is inspired by the artist’s journal entries from March 2020. Delanty focuses on landscape paintings of San Clemente, Orange County and across the United States.
“What I think viewers will see when they come here is light and energy, and the impressionistic style in which I’ve worked,” said Delanty in a
video interview. “What I’m hoping is that will convey to them the positive feelings that I have about the state of the world today. That it’s not all doom and gloom, but definitely that there are places where we can find beauty if we just look for them.”
