September 14–29: Please join in the celebration of a show of new, sustainable work by David Gonville. Gonville is a contemporary artist inspired by the ocean and its convergence with surf, weather, landforms, and contemporary human interaction. Using encaustic, oil paint and plaster, he creates works of art on reclaimed wooden panels that transcribe his experiences in nature in a serene and beautiful manner. Opening artist reception: Saturday, September 14, 3–7 p.m. October 12–27: Join the gallery for a Duncan Johnson Retrospective that spans over thirty years of art in the making. Johnson, a contemporary assemblage artist, creates entirely from vintage “found” boards, elements procured in nature, and from vintage magazines, comics and newspapers. His work feels like a pure abstraction of pattern and geometric form. Opening artist reception: Saturday, October 12, 3–7 p.m. The gallery is dedicated to showing exquisitely crafted contemporary fine art, sculpture, lighting and furniture created using highly sustainable materials.
