PETERSON CONTEMPORARY ART
Bend, Oregon's Foremost Contemporary Art Gallery
August is summer. Soaking in the sun, resting by the water, drinking in the height of the season. Here at PCA, we are opening the month with a two person show featuring Chicago artist, Shar Coulson, and, used to be local/now Montana based Donald Yatomi. Both creative minds bring us an abstract look at life that when viewed seems almost more alive than reality. The show, Modern Traditions, opens Friday, August 2 from 5-8pm with Donald in attendance, like-minded art lovers around, wine to sip and an outpouring of appreciation for the magnificent art of these two creators.
Shar creates scenes of what seems to be, at first glance, pure imaginative expression, but the more you look the more flora, fauna and figures emerge from each piece! This is art of pure poetic expression that starts with a free-flowing journey that morphs into a familiar sense of mystery within the definitive of what we think we know of the world around us.
Donald Yatomi is best known for his contemporary urban themes from railroad stations, airport terminals and notable local favorite spots while alongside working in illustrations with companies such as DreamWorks and Sony. He is drawn to uncelebrated places and unconventional subjects making the habitual and day to day experiences better appreciated.
