"It's the highest level of art. It's rich but soft," says Treister, a resident of Winter Haven.

His gently abstract paintings and a small collection of objects, mostly in wood, are on display in "Kenneth Treister: The Colors of Nature," one of two nature-themed major exhibitions opening with a reception today at the Polk Museum.

The companion exhibition, "Joseph Raffael," displays eye-popping enormous paintings of flowers from Raffael, an American realist watercolor painter. The two exhibitions will be on display through April 4.

If Raffael's works are spectacular, Treister's by contrast are understated. He describes them as "minimalist." Seen from a distance, they appear as fields of color that shade into one another, but viewed up close one sees that the effect is achieved through a pattern of thousands of small dots and dabs of paint. One suggests a fog-shrouded field; another, the sky above sand.

The paintings are inspired by nature without representing it, Treister says.
