New Artists I: Mark Bowles & Rachel Darnell:
Mark Bowles: Abstract California Landscapes
Mark Bowles’ paintings are subjective, simple and filled with light and color, a harmonious balance between the Western landscape and his passion for abstraction. His landscapes are individual statements that have emerged from a rich tradition of California landscape painting. The large scale results in a vast visual picture plane with bold areas of color intermingled with subtle painterly areas. The reward for the viewer is resonating landscapes whose color and expressive brushwork evoke a vibrant sense of place.
- Rachel Darnell :mixed media
Rachel Darnell developed the technique of woven canvas to represent and emphasize the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things. It is a simple structure, yet profound in its strength combining the immediacy and expressiveness of painting with the primitive structure of weaving. Her travels into some of the most ancient cities of the world have inspired her use of gold and silver leafing, like that which has been used to convey divinity. In her work, she attempts to revive ancient, spiritual themes and find expression for them in our modern world.
Gallery Hours Tues-Sat 11-6.
