Biography

A California native, Rick J. Delanty has been painting landscapes and seascape for over four decades. He works in an impressionistic style both plein air and in the studio, using an exuberant calligraphy of color and brushstroke which conveys emotion and movement. His featured subject is the California landscape, and he focuses on compositions built around mood and a deep appreciation for life. Rick maintains a Home Studio & Art Gallery in San Clemente, California.

Delanty’s work has been included in invitational plein air events across the West, and has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the nation. Delanty has received awards at regional, national and international levels, including Finalist in 15th Art Renewal Salon competition in January of 2021; Finalist "Best Acrylic" in the September 2016 Plein Air Salon; Best of Show in 2014 from Plein Air Magazine editor Stephen Doherty in “The American Landscape” national exhibition; twice Outstanding Acrylic in the international “Boldbrush” painting competition; Best of Show in the 2013 ISAP Online Exhibition; Best of Show at the Borrego Plein Air Invitational; two awards in the Sedona Invitational; the Peterson Award at the annual exhibition of the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic; and both the Boseker and Surfrider awards at the Laguna Plein Air Invitational at the Laguna Art Museum. Rick served as curator for the “California Impressionism” show in 2015 at the Huntington Beach Art Center in California, as judge for the Art Muse international painting competition in 2019, and as faculty for the 2019 Plein Air Convention in San Francisco.

Delanty originals have also been selected for such national and international shows as the Art Renewal Center, Plein Air Salon, Oil Painters of America, California Art Club, American Impressionist Society, Boldbrush International Painting Competition, National Art Muse Competition, National Oil and Acrylic Painters, and International Society of Acrylic Painters.

His work appears in Painting in Acrylics, the Indispensable Guide, by Lorena Kloosterboer. Editor-in-Chief Stephen Doherty wrote a 6-page feature article in December 2015, on Rick's work as an acrylic and oil painter, "Unifying Expressions in Oil and Acrylic Paintings". Rick's work is also part of a three-page feature in Southwest Art Magazine's "Three To Watch," November 2016. Additionally, paintings appear in Jean Stern and Molly Siple's book of 2017, Painting California, Seascapes and Beach Towns. Plein Air Magazine features his article "Life-changing Acrylics" in the 2021 October-November issue. Also in 2021, Delanty's new book, Beauty Unites Us, was published (ISBN no. 978-0-578-87234-6), a collection of over 50 artworks and accompanying essays concerning his life and work.

Artist’s Statement

"My body of work is about the revelation of the divine power of God's creation in nature. It is my hope that those who connect with my work will be uplifted, to reflect on the original works of God that surround us."

"In all our Maker's grand designs,
Omnipotence, with wisdom, shines;
His works, through all this wondrous frame,
Declare the glory of his Name."
--blind poet and artist Thomas Blacklock
