The Brookline Arts Center's gallery on the park is the perfect setting for these light-filled studies of sky and ocean.

Luca Ricco studied art as a young man in Italy. He often drew inspiration from the towns and streets of his youth. In this new series of watercolors, Luca unites his love of color with fresh observations of water and light.

While Luca has been challenged with physical problems on his right side, he employs vigorous brushstrokes to convey the power and grandeur of nature. Luca’s ability to express the dramatic color of light between sky and water raises his art to a new level of majesty.

The Brookline Arts Center is supported in part by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
