"Stony Brook Valley'' (in Boston's Jamaica Plain section) (acrylic on panel), by Andrew Haines, in the group "2018 Annual Landscape Exhibition,''  at William Baczek Fine Art, Northampton, Mass. The gallery says the show "addresses the preconceived notions of what landscape art can be. The artists remove context, utilize unexpected mediums, and avoid cliché to make their works standouts among the art of landscapes. The featured work is at turns concrete and ethereal, straightforward and abstract. No two pieces are alike, just as no two artists' personal idea of landscapes are alike. The result is an exhibit that encourages a different view of not just the art of landscapes, but of the world these landscapes reside in. ''
