Details about the First Friday ArtWalk hosted stops for February 5th:
#1 Passionflower Design - 128 E Broadway
Passionflower Design introduces "Objects of Desire,” a show serving up a unique Valentine's Day with three flavors: Betsy Wolfston is a ceramic artist; Beverly Soasey is a mixed media/assemblage artist, and Rogene Manas is a painter/mixed media artist. The show features a unique installation of unimaginable oddities and tantalizing treasures in which the artists try to step outside of their usual work. Some will relate to love for Valentine’s Day and others will be just for fun. Expect the unexpected!
#2 Imagine Gallery - 35 E 8th
During February, Imagine Gallery will feature Robin Mix and Shanna Trumbly. Robin always loved to work with her hands, so when she moved to the Eugene area in 1974, she started selling at the Saturday Market. She received a Bachelor of Arts in Fine and Applied Art from the U of O in 1983 and has actively been making and selling sterling silver jewelry for almost 30 years. Shanna Trumbly is a third generation Oregonian and a graduate of the Art Institute of Seattle. She has become well known in the Eugene area for her beautiful stylized paintings of flowers and animals. Shanna started with designs on women’s clothing and later moved to full sized paintings. Her new work uses reproductions of her paintings and incorporates them into her jewelry designs. In addition, work by over 20 Oregon jewelry makers can be found at the Imagine Gallery!
# 3 Studio West - 245 W 8th Avenue
Studio West announces the opening of their new show “Dreams Desires Disturbances,” works by Seattle-based painter Linda Horsley. Horsley sensually expresses her passion for the human form through her unique use of color. Playful tonality allows the viewer to revisit a youthful, whimsical atmosphere while revealing undertones of more sinister characters in complex compilations. Horsley is currently a professor at the Art Institute of Seattle, where she continues to share her knowledge and artistic vision with her students. Studio West invites the community to the grand opening where attendees will have the unique opportunity to meet Linda Horsley in person and hear her speak about this inspiring body of work.
# 4 New Zone Gallery - 164 W Broadway
New Zone features "Reflections in Watercolor" by Barbara Aten. Barbara's watercolors will include seascapes, rivers, and lighthouses. The beautiful flow of watercolors is Barbara's form of meditation and the spiritual, reflective quality in her paintings will transport the viewer to a reflective space of their own. There will also be a themed show titled, "Femininity Unleashed." This show will explore the Feminist Movement from the 1800s through the future as interpreted and imagined by the New Zone artists. Music will be provided by classical guitarist, David Rogers.
# 5 DIVA - 110 W Broadway
On Friday, February 5th, the DIVA Center proudly presents Young Visionaries, an interdisciplinary exhibition that will introduce the Eugene-Springfield area to the work of 12 extremely promising emerging artists from across the country. DIVA is very excited about the opportunity that this show will provide for art lovers in our region to experience some of the most distinctive contemporary art being produced today. DIVA also hopes the body of work presented in Young Visionaries will serve to expand and enhance the on-going dialogue about contemporary visual arts in our community and beyond. None of the participating artists have ever before shown at DIVA, and the vast majority will be making their Eugene debuts from the East Coast, Midwest, Portland, San Francisco, and Canada. Artists include Kristin Beaver, Joshua Newth, Nicholas Jones, Daniel Sperry, That Evil Mess, Kassie Teng, Drew Iwaniw, Chris Knight, Liam Devowski, and Danny Espinoza.
