ALAN BRAY has earned a national reputation from his hometown of Sangerville, Maine. There, he develops mystical paintings about the phenomena of nature in very familiar scenes. He allows his self-conscious to dissolve as he lets particularities of place, such as the branching of trees, the drifting and melting of the snow and the meandering of flowing water reveal their structures to him. He incorporates elements of memory and dream to achieve an interconnectedness where what you see folds into what you feel and know. His work is part of public collections from New York to California.
