July Artist Reception for Paul Alan Bennett at High Desert Gallery – Redmond Oregon
You're invited to a special artist event Friday July 17th, from 5 – 8pm.
High Desert Gallery is honored to present “Imaginary Landscapes,” a new series of original paintings and fine art giclees by Oregon artist Paul Alan Bennett. Drawn from imagined – and yet familiar – landscapes throughout the High Desert, Paul Alan Bennett works with his iconic style to transport the viewer to magical places.
“The rivers hint of such places as the Columbia
River, the Snake and The John Day. The mountains suggest the Cascade
Range, The Steens or those found in the high plateau areas of
Southern Oregon or Nevada. The brilliance of the stars in the high
desert sky are common to all these areas. They are like tiny mirrors
sewn into the fabric of the night.
The central theme of all these works is made up of three parts: night sky, mountains and rivers. These act like three chords of music. The placement of boats, birds, trees, rocks, the moon and stars are the accent notes within those chord patterns. The eye is guided around by such accents. This serves to create a silent symphony of wonder and scale, similar to that found in the Romantic images of early American landscape painting.” -- Paul Alan Bennett, June 2009
Join us in Redmond Oregon for "Walk the Art Beat" Friday, July 17, 2009, from 5 - 8pm. Meet Paul Alan Bennett, find out what inspires him and see beautiful framed fine art giclees and original art. Live music from Bellavia, refreshments, and experience the New Redmond Downtown as the dust finally settles and a vibrant community space emerges. We'll be looking for you.

July 3 First Friday Event and Month Long Exhibition at High Desert Frameworks! in Bend Oregon - Patrick Horsley
Don't miss out on this exhibition of fine art craft and pottery, featuring nationally recognized Oregon potter, Patrick Horsley.
High Desert Frameworks! In downtown Bend, Oregon, is
pleased to announce the July Artist Feature for Oregon fine art
potter Patrick Horsley. Nationally recognized, Patrick Horsley, is
known throughout America with work exhibited in many galleries and
collected by numerous corporations, select museums and private
collectors. His artwork is strongly influenced by architecture, both
primitive and contemporary with most of the work being decorative as
opposed to utilitarian. Teapots, a special interest of Patrick, have
evolved into signature pieces, which are included in many collections
throughout the world. Patrick remarks, "The challenge of my
work is to combine the many elements (handles, feet, spouts and lids)
into a work that dances and presents a new view and image of a
familiar form. My primary interest is in the process and the physical
dance of making the pots."
Join us for the opening reception at the First Friday Gallery Walk on Friday, July 3 from 5-9pm. Enjoy great art, refreshments and more. The event if free and open to the public. For more information on the event, Patrick, and the Custom Framing and fine craft gallery please call 1-866-549-6250, or visit www.highdesertgallery.com.
