Permanent Gallery EXHIBITION Recuerdos Don Fritz DATES: MAY 20 - AUG 27 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Permanent Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. My work is rooted in the experience of growing up in the 50s in Germany and the United States. This was a time of innocence, faith in the future and an underlying anxiety of nuclear annihilation. A time when fairy tales and old-world myth intermingled with the promise of magic of science, with its rocket ships and the power of the atom. I select images and icons from the 50s and place them in juxtapositions that resonate with the duality of innocence and malevolent power. Children's books, toys, and other artifacts from my past are an inspiration and resource for my symbology. My experiences in Japan have also been important in shaping my current work. I love the way text is applied to image in strange, and often random ways there -- particularly when the image has been appropriated from Western culture. The duality of ancient and modern life coexisting produces startling content. One of the cornerstones of my work is the layering of images. The finished pieces have a tactile quality that makes them seem as if they were constructed out of velvet or felt. This is achieved through layering and painting out, or erasing, images to create depth -- both literally and conceptually. This often unconscious process of selecting and deleting images produces a palimpsest like surface. Beneath this surface lie the sometimes sinister, sometimes comical clues needed to unravel secret codes of content within the work. There are hidden images that both confirm and contradict assumptions we have made about interpretation. These artworks function as a reminder of the world we were promised as children, and a visual record of my search for understanding in that world as an adult. "Gravity" Previous Next

"Artist at a young age and absent from art for nearly three and a half decades, a few short years ago I returned to pick up where I had left! Upon my return, I experimented with various styles and subjects with the intention to preserve the memory and elegance of the past. With the state of the world we live in today, I have found my calling and feel obligated to focus on delivering thought-provoking and engaging messages as a platform to raise awareness about social issues and the current state of humanity. My self-taught background as an "Organic Artist" gives me the freedom to explore and express my thoughts and feelings without being limited by traditional art theory and rules. This approach leads to unique and powerful perspectives in my artwork." Hadi Aghaee Artist Statement "Daydreaming My Dream" Previous Next

< Back Capture the Distance in a Landscape, a 4-Hour Oil Painting Workshop Price $120 for Members, $130 for Non-Members Location Linn Studio Dates November 1st, 2025 from 10:00AM-2:00PM Duration 1 Day Enroll About the Course Location: Linn Studio behind the Triton Museum of Art One of the most captivating qualities of a great landscape painting is the feeling of depth — that sense of space that draws you in and makes you feel you could walk right into the scene. In this 4-hour, hands-on oil painting workshop with artist Ria Krishnan, you will explore how to create convincing distance in your work through thoughtful composition, value relationships, color temperature shifts, and atmospheric perspective. You’ll learn how to simplify a complex scene and leave with practical tools you can apply to any scene, whether painting plein air or in the studio. Important: Please Bring Your Own Supplies Below is the Materials List as used/recommended by the instructor. Please feel free to use any brands/supplies based on your own preference. If you have questions regarding supplies, please email ria@riakrishnan.com . Canvas: 8x10 or 6x8 Fredrix Canvas panels or pads or any brand of your choice. Please bring 2 to 4. Board & Tape: to tape the loose canvas sheets (if you are using loose canvas sheets). Brushes: Signet Bristle Brushes - #4 & #2 Flats, #4 Filbert, #2 ,#4 Egbert. Having multiple brushes is better so you don’t have to clean them during the painting session. The instructor paints using Egberts, but you can choose to paint with whatever brushes you like. Please be sure they are meant for oil painting. Palette knife: to mix paint. Suggested Brand: Liquitex #1 . Paint Colors: recommended list below. All colors are Artist’s Grade Michael Harding Oil colors. If you wish to work with your choice of colors, that is fine!. Ultramarine Blue Cadmium Red Light Cadmium Lemon Titanium White Ivory Black Yellow Ochre Venetian Red (optional) Unbleached Titanium Dioxide (optional) Viridian (optional) Palette - the instructor uses a 12x16 glass palette with a gray background. Gray background makes it easier to judge color and glass is easier to clean. Available on Amazon/Dickblick. The brand suggested is “New Wave.” 9x12 size is definitely more portable. Whichever palette you choose, make sure it has a neutral background. White background makes it difficult to judge color. Medium: Gamblin Refined Linseed oil. Get the smallest size available. Available on Amazon or DickBlick. Small Cup: to hold the medium. Cleaning Brushes Gamsol: please note, this is toxic. Jack’s Linseed Studio Soap : this is non-toxic. If you use this, you won’t be able to clean your brushes during painting. So make sure you have multiple brushes ( 2-3 of each size) should be sufficient. Gray Scale & Value Finder: Available on Amazon or DickBlick Reference Images: Print a couple reference images of your choice or you may refer to the ones supplied in class. Paper Towels: to wipe dirty brushes. Sketch book, pens, pencils. Value Markers: to create value sketches (optional but very useful) Your Instructor Ria Krishnan Words from the Artist: “I see myself as a storyteller. I paint from what I see and feel around me. Any experience that captivates me, finds its way on my canvas. I feel compelled to share those moments with others and I do it through my paintings. I want people to connect with my work and build their own stories from that connection. It is a privilege to be able to build relationships with people around me through my paintings. It is the most fulfilling part of my job. Painting is my lifestyle. It is a journey of a lifetime and I am just getting started.” Website: https://www.riakrishnan.com/
