ORR MARSHALL RETROSPECTIVE: A Bridge to Japan After studying with Josef Albers at Yale, then teaching in the Bay Area, Orr Marshall received a Japanese government scholarship to study at the National University of Fine Arts in Tokyo and lived in Japan for five years. His art in various media often draws upon traditional and modern aspects of Japanese culture to reinterpret them from a personal viewpoint. The painting "Graffiti Girl," his imaginary take on the current Japanese urban scene, was included in an exhibition at the reopened M.H. de Young Museum in San Francisco in 2005, and will be among the wide range of works selected from his Japan days up to the present. |

WORKS IN IRON A sculpture garden installation highlighting the found-object iron sculptures of Frederick Hazard. Beyond traditional “junk art”, Hazard’s sculptures emphasize classical forms while employing found objects such as machine parts, tools and utilitarian items. The rustic patina highlights the many sculptural elements included in each work, yet focuses on the sculptural combination as a whole. The complicated and formal presentation of each work encompasses movement within each individual piece and the installation. |

INTERIOR HISTORIES Amy Bouse draws from a study of human psychology and anatomy: the way forms fit together and divide, evolve and decay. The transitory nature of human beings, both body and soul, continues to fascinate her. Bouse begins with a concept or narrative that develops throughout the painting process. Interpretations of these initial ideas evolve, departing from external appearances to concentrate on abstract forms. The resulting images refer to the body's permeable yet resilient flesh—and to systems this flesh hides. |

SURVEILLANCE Sherry Karver, a critically acclaimed artist well known for her photo-based oil paintings, explores in her art a variety of themes connected to the human experience. The concept of surveillance, which occurs as a routine part of our daily lives, has taken on a new meaning and urgency in our current period of history. Using downloaded photos from public Internet Web Cams and images from airport x-ray screening machines, Karver is utilizing these images within a fine art context. |

JAMES MOORE February 1 - February 28 Performance Rotunda A lecturer in art at HSU since 1999, Moore says his tabletop still life paintings best express his own personality. Refined and unassuming, they picture what Moore assays are the main attributes of his personal character and of the “dignity of being” in the cosmos: simplicity, stillness, and quietude. |
 "Numina 19" By Brad Cole |
6TH ANNUAL NORTHWEST EYE A five-state regional fine art photography competition and exhibition.For more than two decades, Brad Cole has addressed the mystery of human presence in photographs and films utilizing a visual vocabulary that is cinematic and musical, constantly moving and simultaneously quiescent. Cole's imagery escapes time and appearances in order to delve beneath surface experience and engage the observer at core levels of dream and myth. His 50 plate monograph The Last Dream (essay by A.D. Coleman) is published by the Center for Photographic Art.Primarily using an early-1900s 5"x7" view camera, Cole hand-crafts silver-based prints of exquisitely rich and seductive tonalities which also provides a base for his films, sound projects, and other works. In 2001, Cole was named Artist of the Year by the Center for Photographic Art.His work is included in permanent collections including, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, and the San Diego Museum of Photographic Arts, CA. Cole is represented by the Weston Gallery, CA. See more images atwww.bradcole.com |

REFLECTIONS: ON CROSSING Crossing the Oakland Bay Bridge on her commute to and from work, the bridge span, skies, and views of downtown San Francisco and the Port of Oakland are familiar sites. Subercaseaux notices the play of light and shadow on the pavement during the drive across the span. This current series of paintings, "Reflections: on Crossing", represents this interplay of the bridge structural elements with cast lights and shadows. Patterns cast from girders and cables onto the surface present abstract imagery to incorporate in her art. Working with these bridge reflections allows her to focus on detail areas within a broader view, seeing abstractions in closer proximity. This process begins with the initial excitement of seeing and capturing compositions, ultimately leading to studying and painting them in the studio. |
