Leonard Ragouzeos

It’s not unusual for an artist to exhibit works in a variety of mediums in a solo show. What’s less typical is for those works to range vastly in size. But in his current show at Rutland’s B&G Gallery, titled “In Black & White/Then and Now,” Ragouzeos presents images as small as five inches and as large as five feet. After several decades of teaching college-level design and drawing classes in Iowa and Pennsylvania, Ragouzeos and his wife relocated to Newfane in 2005. Since then he’s continued to create in India ink, graphite and gouache. A theme in his work, at least in this exhibition, is a predilection for black, white and shades of gray, as well as single-image subjects.
