Larry Thomas: Recent Paintings on Paper; Doug Browe: Figures, Architecture and Landscapes

Country:

Categories:

Date: 
Thursday, 6 April 2017 to Sunday, 30 April 2017
Opening: 
Friday, 7 April 2017 - 5:00pm to 8:00pm

Partners Gallery is proud to be showing two outstanding local artists, painter and printmaker Larry Thomas and clay sculptor Doug Browe.

 

Browe’s work over the last 12 years has been inventing or adapting processes to blur the distinction between the figure, landscape and architecture. He begins with familiar and classic vase forms to which he makes constructive additions that invite reinterpretation.

Thomas is showing a group of acrylic paintings on paper all entitled “Horizon” from moments of engagement with landscapes looking out at the sea. Developed in the studio these works reflect moods of shifting weather and seasons, dunes, grasses, light phenomena, driftwood and beach debris.

 

Partners Gallery is located at 335 N. Franklin Street in Fort Bragg and is open Wednesday through Monday 10 am to 5 pm and Sundays 10 am to 4 pm. 707 962-0233  http://www.partnersgallery.com>

Doug Browe: Ceramics, Sculpture

Well known for his pottery work at the Hoyman Browe Studio in Ukiah, Doug Browe has been affiliated with the Mendocino College (MC) art faculty since he taught ceramics part-time in the 1990's. He most recently worked as the ceramics studio manager for three years, until he was hired as a full-time assistant professor of art (ceramics and sculpture) in 2007.

Originally from Illinois, Browe studied art at Grand Valley State College in Michigan, then completed his bachelor's degree in art, with a focus in ceramic art history, at New College in Sonoma, CA.  Browe worked as a professional studio potter for 30 years: first at Earthenware Potters in Western Michigan, then for 27 years at the Hoyman Browe Studio.

In 2001, Browe was asked to set up a ceramics studio for tribal "Karen people" in a Burmese refugee camp, where he taught them to make ceramic water filters. Besides his classes at MC, Browe frequently teaches workshops for both practicing artists and college students, most recently in Portland, Oregon, and Lake Tahoe, California, as well as the Mendocino Art Center
