A proposito di questo titolo
James Mattison is a Maine painter and newly represented artist with the Portland Art Gallery whose work explores landscape, process, and the often-overlooked pockets of the state. In this episode of Radio Maine, Mattison joins host Dr. Lisa Belisle to reflect on his artistic journey—from growing up in central Maine and studying graphic design, to returning home after time away and fully committing to painting. A former Portland Museum of Art security guard, Mattison has experienced art from many angles, shaping a thoughtful, process-driven studio practice rooted in drawing, photography, and oil painting. He shares how mentorship helped him understand the importance of process, experimentation, and to learn to loosen realism in favor of a style that feels true to him. A standout moment centers on a striking painting inspired by massive log piles along the Allagash—a homage to Maine’s landscape and labor that resonates deeply with both the artist and his audience.
