November Show – Squares and Circles

LunariaGallery — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:21:50 +0000

Lunaria Gallery is pleased to present “Squares and Circles,” featuring the art of Rebekah Rigsby and Ann Altman for the month of November. This geometry-themed show opens with a special artists’ reception on Friday, November 4th at 7:00 PM.

Rebekah’s mixed media artwork combines acrylic paint and paper collage. The artist uses delicate colors and textures to capture the natural splendor of the Pacific Northwest. Rebekah has chosen to create a new body of work – each using a square canvas – to create a sense of unity and symmetry throughout the show.

Ann’s work, in contrast, features bright colors and an imaginative folk-art feeling. Each piece will feature some aspect of a circle, from bicycle wheels to drum circles. The artwork is executed with oil pastels and acrylic on wood panels.

As a kick-off to the holiday season, the show will also feature smaller items, including cards, limited edition reproductions, and gift items created by both artists.
