Closing Reception for "Etched Metal Show"

  • Brasserie Four

WALLA WALLA, Wash., January 21, 2015 - The Brasserie Four is hosting a closing reception for the "Etched Metal Show" a group exhibition of new works featuring local and visiting artists. The show will run through the end of January with a closing reception January 29, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. The exhibition features a diverse range of 2-dimensional etched metal works, in copper and aluminum. Artist and gallerista Claire Johnston curated.

Eleven artists will be featured in the show: Augusta Farnum, Smokey Farris, Douglas Gisi, Anne Haley, Lynn Woolson, Margaret Walters, Seymour King, James Harley, Amy Roland, Melissa Christy and Travis Weige. For most of the artists, this is their first foray into 2-dimensional metal media. Paul Good, the owner of Farris Engraving (a local metal etching studio), assisted the group in transforming their own original drawing, painting, photography, and collage works into fine etched metal pieces.

Although the show's subject matter is extremely diverse, the work is all unified by the common medium. Some pieces feature bright and vibrant colors, while others highlight the high contrast of the etchings themselves. In all the pieces, texture and line are driving forces while the subtle sheen and reflective quality of the metal adds a unique warmth and depth to the work.

"The idea for the show was to help artists interested in creating metal pieces to do so, and also to highlight the 2-dimensional work of local metal artists," said show organizer, Paul Good. "We are lucky to have such amazing sculpture here in Walla Walla, and I wanted to help folks explore the 2-dimensional aspect of metal. It's exciting to have so many talented people collaborating to try out a new medium."
