We are pleased to feature three Cape Cod artists: Hollis Fortune, Richard O. Perry and Alla Zbinovsky, August 18th-September 12th. These diverse talents work respectively in acrylics, hyrdrocal epoxy and oils to create beautiful, unique artwork. Hollis’s works range from semi- abstract landscapes to pure abstract with each creation indelibly imprinted with her imaginative style. Richard Perry creates innovative sculptural reliefs that fascinate the viewer whether they be purely figurative or abstract expressions . Alla Zbinovsky’s figurative work reflects her intense study of Russian Icons as well as her frequent plein-aire excursions which evolve in to beautiful, colourful creations in oil and encaustic.
RICHARD PERRY - About
Richard Ogden Perry has been exploring intaglio relief as an artistic medium since 1975, first in New York City and then on Cape Cod. His interest in relief was inspired by Egyptian reliefs at the Metropolitan Museum and research into visual perception. Richard’s reliefs combine elements of drawing, painting and sculpture to create 3 dimensional "holographic" illusions which change in appearance as the viewer moves and as the light on the reliefs change.
As a teenager, Richard learned photography from his father. Richard graduated from Brown University in 1966 (BS-AB chemistry/philosophy) and then paid his way through University of Pennsylvania law school photographing college graduation ceremonies. He also photographed anti Vietnam war demonstrations in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. and the 1969 Woodstock music festival.
In New York City during the 1970’s Richard studied drawing, painting and sculpture at the Art Students League, the New School and the Brooklyn Museum School and exhibited his initial reliefs at the Green Mountain Gallery in SoHo.
His reliefs are currently exhibited in the Boston Museum of Science and Cape Cod Museum of Art. In his spare time he makes wire sculptures and magnetic mobiles. He exhibits and sells his work through the Cross Rip Gallery in Harwichport, Mass.

ALLA ZBINOVSKY - Artist Statement
Alla Zbinovsky is a Harwich artist who paints in oil, encaustic and egg tempera. She graduated from Cornell and Columbia Universities, and then spent several decades living and working in Russia and England. She washed ashore a decade ago, and now focuses on painting the Cape Cod landscape and the ever elusive light.
