The Gallery at Town Center presents:

Mixed Media Assemblage by Barry Burgess
Photography by Jean Kercheval

May 21 – July 6, 2013

The Gallery at TownCenter presents “Loud and Quiet!” with assemblages by Barry Burgess and Photography by Jean Kercheval. The Gallery is located on the inside lower level of the Lake Forest Park Town Center, 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park, WA 98155. Hours are 12-5 pm Tuesday through Saturday, 11-4 pm Sunday.

More about the artists:

Barry Burgess:
Barry’s wall masks are abstract human-like faces created in a Mixed Media construction. The premise and designs suggest that we are witnessing an evolution of human interaction shifted by the media we use and the form by which we communicate. We create cyber –like relationships “masking” our true identities. We must view each other now through a cybernetic visual world connected in electronic emotions.  

Jean Kercheval:
Jean’ work tends to focus on the environment, things she sees as she is going through her day. Sometimes she photographs a walk in the woods with her dog, other times it’s a small detail she notices while traveling. Her favorite subject is silence, thrown into a classic black and white realm.

The Gallery also features an array of handmade work by over 90 local artists. For information on the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council see www.shorelinearts.net.  The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to nurture all of the arts in the community through programs and events, arts education, advocacy, and support for artists and arts organizations.  Proceeds from the Gallery at Lake ForestParkTownCenter help fund these programs and events.

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and the City of Shoreline present a new exhibit featuring:

Francisco Austria

Love of nature guides and inspires Francisco to create his brand of photorealist art. The natural environment has been his constant companion, growing up in a small town in the Philippines and having lived in Maui and Seattle. Through his art, he also sends the urgent message of environmental protection, calling attention to nature’s magnificence and fragility. He has had many exhibits, including at Vera Art Project and Harrison Street Gallery. Find out more at www.etsy.com/people/cougar620

Charlette Haugen

Charlette’s watercolor paintings reflect her fascination with the treasure trove of subject matter in Europe. She looks for different ways of interpreting the subject matter, which catches and holds the eye, inviting the viewer to linger. She has exhibited widely in the Northwest, including EAFA Gallery at Seattle Design Center, Parklane Gallery, and many regional arts festivals.

David Traylor

David is a visual artist and a landscape architect. As a landscape architect he has designed extraordinary places – functionally, aesthetically, civically, and sometimes spiritually. As a visual artist, he creates mixed media sculptures and installations based on the concepts of “place”: define a place, say about a place (either imagined or actual), and relate a place and its surroundings. David is very active in Northwest art scene, including exhibiting at SHIFT Collaborative Studio and Gallery 110. Find out more at dirtcircus.com
