Featuring Paula Booth
Through a camera lens, precise moments are frozen and preserved in time. For the month of July, Paula Booth will share a body of work that explores the language of color, image and form. Unlike most of her previous work, these pieces are made through internal consideration and reflection rather than external sensory experiences.
The Art of Industry
When was the last time you saw art in a raw, industrial object? During the month of August the MLZ gallery will be featuring unique foundry objects from the 1920’s, paying respect to the art and simple beauty of function. The majority of these pieces will be exhibited in their original state, but in addition, we have given three local artists, Carolyn Garcia, Chris Giffin and Emily Stuart, each one piece to transform into an entirely new piece of art.
We have extended our gallery to a second space not far from our downtown location. Gallery 2 showcases stunning paintings in a quiet setting for those that need that extra attention. We invite you to call to make an appointment so we may offer suggestions, discuss proposals and arrange to bring artwork to your home or business. Or, visit our downtown location to inquire about our brochure that describes our “in house visits” and convenient ways to obtain art.
First Showing in Gallery 2
Our first showing in Gallery 2 features recent works by John Van Dreal and Rachel Sabin. Rachel is the recent recipient of a Willamette University Carson Grant. Through this grant, she studied the traditional techniques and methods of oil painting under the tutelage of Salem painter John Van Dreal. Using imagery drawn from the Masters, both John and Rachel painted together through Summer and Fall months, expanding Rachel’s artistic skill and exploring common figurative themes. This show, the culmination of that mentorship, offers a view of Sabin’s impressive emerging style as well as a glimpse of Van Dreal’s new work.
