OK Harris Works of Art
This event has ended.
Marc Aronson
Aronson layers coats of oil paint with powdered additives in his large-scale contemplative abstract paintings, and then repeatedly removes and replaces layers of paint, producing luminous planes of color.
Robert Rohm
These life-size, totemic sculptures are the result of the artist's attempts to make manifest his thoughts and visions generated by his ongoing process of learning to quiet the mind. The vertically oriented sculptures are made of steel, mesh, and encaustic and evoke a quiet, meditative response.
Peter Saari
Peter Saari's recent casein paintings on plaster resemble broken and faded fresco fragments. The images are inspired by his visits to museums and excavation sites around the Bay of Naples. Representation of columns and paneled walls with projecting mouldings appear as well as images of mythical figures and animals.
Fred Scuton
Photographing country fairs in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Arizona, Fred Scruton has captured the contemporary carnival atmosphere of thrill rides, sideshows and colored lights against the dusk sky. The pictures celebrate the still vibrant "real world" antecedent to the virtual realities of cyberspace and video games, and represent freeze-frames from summer adventures into these fantastical constructs of steel and canvas.
Tracy Linder
In the Limbs series, the artist utilizes cast off branches from still living trees. Each limb is then tightly encased in a carefully hand stitched leather skin. These wall relief sculptures portray the tree limbs forms shaped by their environment and thus become a portrait of time and circumstance.
