The Rahr-West Art Museum is delighted to announce the exhibition, Plein Air by Todd Schabel. This collection of work is on loan from the artist in conjunction with the plein air painting event, Paint Out. This year, the Rahr-West Art Museum is collaborating with the Wisconsin Maritime Museum to host Paint Out on their Rooftop Deck. Artist Todd Schabel will be one of three demonstrating artists during Paint Out.
Schabel is a contemporary realist oil painter who grew up in Central Wisconsin. He attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, where he was fortunate to study with the late Li Hu, who emphasized the need to learn strong drawing skills and the importance of working from life. Todd has had the honor of receiving numerous plein air awards, such as Best in Show at Paint Cedarburg, WI and Bluffstrokes, IA plein air events. He is represented by Gallery 1802 in La Crosse, WI and Bell Street Gallery in La Pointe, WI.
See the Schabel’s works from July 23rd through August 11th in the Rahr-West Art Museum corridor.
Paint Out 2024 will take place on Saturday, August 3rd, 2024, 11am-6pm at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum Rooftop Deck. For more information on Paint Out: Read Here
