The
Black Market Gourmet announces their upcoming art show ”Elements: Ocean
+ Valley” bringing together the work of four artists—two from the
Umpqua Valley area and two from the Southern Oregon Coast—for the months
of July and August 2015. Holly Wilson Werner from Roseburg and Jon
Leach from Winston join Pat Snyder from Coos Bay and Susan Lehman from
Bandon. All four artists work primarily with abstract imagery somewhat
based upon elements found in Nature—both here on the coast and inland,
rural as well as urban.
Holly
Wilson Werner, former owner of Fishers Flowers and Fine Art in
Roseburg, bases most of her pastel and acrylic paintings upon floral
elements. Jon Leach, originally from Seattle, has been primarily an
abstract painter most of his art career. Leach shows his non-objective
art work both nationally and throughout the Pacific Northwest. Both
Wilson Werner and Leach exhibited their collaborative work at the Coos
Art Museum this past year.
Pat
Snyder, known throughout this area for his art as well as for teaching,
has shown his landscape based acrylics, collages, prints, and oils at
the Coos Art Museum, Lane Community College and at Second Street Gallery
in Bandon. Susan Lehman, originally from California, also shows her
abstract acrylic collages and seascapes locally through the Second
Street Gallery in Bandon as well as the Mindpower Gallery in Reedsport.
The public is invited to the artists' reception at the Black Market Gourmet on Sunday, July 19th from 2-4 pm.
Will Hubel from Left Coast Jazz will provide the music and Black Market
Gourmet the catering for the reception. BMG is located at 495 Central
Avenue in Coos Bay. Call for hours: 541-269-0194.
