American Dream Show Artist: Ralph Papa Ralph Papa began sketching and painting as a child growing up on Manhattan's upper East Side. In the 1960's, he painted at the Art Students League and exhibited regularly in Greenwich Village. Papa worked and exhibited in New York City and Long Island. His subjects have been primarily of real and imagined people and faces, often larger than life, creating a serious pensive mood for the viewer. In the past 12 years, Papa has shifted his emphasis from studio to landscapes painted on-location in the Hudson Valley and in Long Island at Montauk and the Hamptons.   Spanning a period of over 40 years, his works reflect a serene yet powerful style in communicating his love and respect for nature and individuality. Papa's paintings have a unique personal quality for the artist and the viewer. Congratulations Mon-talk Artist of the Month!     Ca. 2 dozen of Ralph Papa's Montauk Paintings are on Exhibition at Gurney's Inn Resort & Spa, 290 Old Montauk Hwy, 7 days a week over the summer and can be purchased. http://www.papagallery.com back to our artists...
