He has participated in no less than 16 solo shows and over 30 group exhibitions in galleries from Seattle to Maine, and has taught at Princeton, the San Francisco Art Institute and the University of Maine.  The centerpiece of the Robert Van Vranken exhibit at Gilmore Gallery is an impressive 47″ x 82″ oil painting that highlights Mr. Van Vranken’s painstaking attention to detail and technical skill, along with his extensive knowledge of light and shadow. It and several smaller pieces will be on display until the end of March.
