## Resource

Richard Raiselis is a Boston-based painter known for his perceptive urban landscapes that explore the act of seeing within everyday environments. His work frequently focuses on the city of Boston—its rooftops, streets, power lines, clouds, and architecture—often viewed from unusual vantage points such as high windows or rooftops. Through careful observation and subtle shifts in perspective, Raiselis transforms ordinary scenes into meditations on light, structure, and visual perception. Raiselis is Associate Professor Emeritus at the Boston University College of Fine Arts , where he taught painting for over three decades before retiring in 2025. His long tenure at Boston University shaped generations of artists while allowing him to develop a studio practice deeply rooted in observation of the surrounding city. His paintings have been exhibited widely and are included in exhibitions at institutions such as the National Academy of Design in New York , the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art , the Butler Institute of American Art , and the New Britain Museum of American Art , among others. Working primarily in oil on linen, Raiselis approaches painting as a form of visual reporting, capturing the subtle drama of light, weather, and shifting urban space. His work demonstrates how sustained attention to ordinary places can reveal unexpected complexity and beauty.
