GIGI CONOT, “NATURAL SELECTIONS”, OPENS APRIL 29

 

The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Natural Selections, by regional artist Gigi Conot. Gigi has worked and studied on the west coast, including places such as Colorado and San Francisco before settling in Portland, Oregon.

When discussing the content of her photographic work within this exhibition, Conot spoke of the inspiration of nature: “I was living in a small studio in a very urban area, where plants and trees were confined to areas in the city that you had to make a point to travel to. I think it was almost a matter of deprivation, the more I missed nature the more I obsessed over it. I started going to the farmers market and looking at my produce very carefully, examining their shapes, leaves, contours and shadows. I began to see structural beauty that was truly unlike anything that you’ll find in a man-made object.

The show runs from April 29^th to May 23^rd. A lecture will take place on Thursday, May 16^th, beginning at 3:00 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in building 11 on the main campus, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. There is no charge for admission.

Paintings - Leslie Peterson, April 1 - 25

The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Paintings, by regional artist Leslie Peterson. Leslie was born and raised in Portland and currently resides in Tualatin, Oregon.

“I work directly on wood panel (with acrylics), sometimes integrating collage. The colors are rich and yet subtle, based on a limited palette, working off of the color of the surface. My paintings are unquestionably contemporary, yet classic and accessible. In choosing snapshots and photographs that involve happenchance and unpretentious expression, I show how the mundane moments of life are rich with meaning. My style is transcendent of time or fashion, and evokes the essence of life and our ageless human existence.”

For more information, you can visit Leslie’s website at: www.lesliepetersonpainting.com

The show runs from April 1^st to April 25^th. A lecture will take place on Thursday, April 4^th, beginning at 3:00 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in Building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. There is no charge for admission.

Dreaming Across Time and Space, Tie Li Exhibit, Feb. 11 - March 15

The Lane Community College Art Gallery is proud to present the exhibition, Dreaming Across Time and Space, by Portland artist, Tie Li. Tie Li works in a combination of painting and mixed media. His work is reflective of the past and he uses found imagery to convey this reference.

“To me, sometime art making is a process of turning yourself inside out. It’s not easy to face reality, which often is not pleasant or beautiful. But, as long as you are being truthful to yourself, your idea and your dream, thought courage and effort, you may turn your dream into reality, this process itself is beautiful.”

The show runs from February 11^th to March 15^th. A brief lecture will take place on Thursday, February 14th, beginning at 3:00 with a reception immediately following. The lecture and reception are free and open to the public. The gallery is located in Building 11 on the main campus of Lane Community College, 4000 E. 30th Avenue. There is no charge for admission.

Laura Ahola-Young: Padromes

Opening Reception: Thursday, February 28, 2013, 4:00 – 6:00 pm at  Terrell Hall 102, PCC Cascade Campus. Artist Talk: Thursday, February 28, 2013, 6:10 – 7:00 pm, at the Moriarty Arts and Humanities Building (MAHB) room 223, PCC Cascade Campus. Gallery Hours: 9 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday

Cascade Gallery presents watercolor paintings by Eugene-based artist Laura Ahola-Young. Inspired by fleeting and destructive aspects of our biological world, Ahola-Young reworks her paintings’ surfaces with glazes and scraping in order to reflect history and memory of a structure. Within layers of paint and represented spaces, she reveals fleeting warnings - prodromes – as in early symptoms indicating the attack of a disease. She says, “When painting, I am actively creating while simultaneously destroying. . . . My work reflects my desire for absolutes and claims none.”

Originally from Minnesota, Ahola-Young received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and MFA from San Jose State University. She teaches art at Lane Community College in Eugene, Oregon.
