ART EXHIBIT: July 7 – 29 Alan Rose, Julia Haack, & Dave Edgar in the main gallery.
A current of reflection, interaction and response between human and environment runs through this exhibit of contemporary art. The paintings of Alan Rose whimsically detail human interaction. There are odd abstract elements to his work that represent the personality of his subjects.
Seattle artist Julia Haack creates abstract sculpture out of recycled and cast-off materials that makes visual reference to furniture and architecture. Having been fascinated by watching skyscrapers being built, Haack equates her sculpture to architecture and equates architecture to our bodies.
Painter Dave Edgar is showing two sides of his work at the Arts Center. In the main exhibition he presents a new body of work called Tree Machines, abstracted images of metal trees impervious to damage from any angle. The series was inspired when the artist witnessed a failed parachute jump and rescue in the woods. The lower exhibition space features Edgar’s series HMMWV landscapes, which are not as abstract and were inspired by his experiences as an Army Ranger. Dave Tinman Edgar recently received an Individual Artist Fellowship Award from the Oregon Arts Commission.
An opening reception for all artists will be held on First Tuesday, July 7, at 6 PM.
Both exhibits will be open to the public Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Friday from 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM beginning July 7 and continuing through July 29, 2009.
