Dewey, Works on Paper, Reflections
Friday, October 16 through Sunday, December 6, 2020
Bill Dewey, Torn Landscapes, photograph, 20x30 in.
Bill Dewey: Second Chances
Spanning decades, across thousands of miles, Bill Dewey's new series is a history of his photography that retells by reimagining.
"The idea of “second chances” popped into my head since these images were destined to be recycled but as I looked at them (in pieces), the sum suddenly became greater than the parts. As well as individual stories, they tell the greater story of where my cameras have been over the last couple of decades."
These stories are non-linear narratives created by layering torn scraps of fields on top of clouds bordering oceans. The collages recreate for the viewer the process of making an image — Dewey’s choices about lighting, composition, and focus, often hidden by the camera’s mediation, reemerge and return the artist’s hand to the art.
Randall David Tipton, Oregon Refuge 4, watermedia on yupo, 20×20 in.
Works on Paper
Pencil lines on paper weave bird nests, and float over and under watercolors. Oils render a window into a cafe, belying the simple substrate beneath. Watercolors, gouaches, and ink bleed into and pool on the variety of textures and surfaces chosen by our gallery artists working on paper.
Marcia Burtt, Sycamores over the Pond, acrylic, 20x18 in.
Marcia Burtt: Reflections
These paintings by Marcia Burtt of ocean edges, canals, and ponds show us an upside-down world. Rippled and blurred, echoing sky and trees and expanding beyond the canvas, we share with her moments of fantasy within realist landscapes.
