Rock, Paper, Print and Abstraction Opening Day
Art Center Morro Bay is proud to present two shows: Rock, Paper, Print and Abstraction. Rock, Paper, Print is an exhibition of artwork featuring members of the Central Coast Printmakers, a group of around thirty artists who share the love of printmaking. In this exhibit of individually hand-made prints, there will be a wide variety of styles and printmaking techniques. Printmakers use many different surfaces such as wood, metal, linoleum and plastic, and methods like carving blocks, etching with acid, and painting materials to print, using a large assortment of papers to achieve these images. Most prints are conceived and made in reverse, so that when the image is transferred to the paper, it will view correctly. The transfer to the paper is accomplished by hand rubbing or with the use of a press. In addition, Morro Bay Art Association is proud to present the fine art exhibit, Abstraction, in the Virginia Russell gallery, upstairs. Abstract by definition is having only intrinsic form with little or no attempt at pictorial representation or narrative content. Enter the realm of self-expression and a departure from reality where every brushstroke is a form of abstraction, displaying a variety of expressive expanses. Here, sharp edges, solid colors, geometric compositions and brushed, poured or spray-painted surfaces abound. These two shows will be on display from June 29 through August 7, 2023. Rock, Paper, Print will be on display in the main gallery, concurrent with Abstraction and the glass artworks by featured artist Carolyn Niblick which will be on display in the Virginia Russel gallery upstairs. The opening reception will be on Sunday, July 9, 2023, 2-4pm. This event is free and open to the public. Art Center Morro Bay is open daily from 12pm – 4pm.
