Ryan John Lefebvre is a Lowell, MA based painter. Lefebvre is a self taught artist and has exhibited at the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, NH, the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, NH, the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts in Rochester, NH, See Saw Art in Manchester, NH and Club Passim in Cambridge, MA.
Lefebvre’s works touch upon poignant topics like politics and culture, while not shying away from topics as sacred as religion and New England folk art. The pieces offer intrigue and haunt the viewer like unsolved puzzles, just when you think you’ve got an understanding of a piece, a minute detail will pop out bringing with it, the realization that you’ve only scratched the surface.
