Robert Connell: As I See It

Opening August 5th, the exhibition Robert Connell: As I See It will features recent paintings on paper from local artist Robert Connell. There will be an opening reception Thursday, August 4th, 2022 from 6-8pm. Connell is known for his plein-air paintings that utilize sumi ink and gouache on paper. His work is influenced by both Asian painting techniques and newspaper printing practices, which is how he developed his unique technique combining ink painting on site and applying gouache with a printmaker’s brayer in the studio. His works focus on the Northwest landscape, negative and positive space, and the impact of memory and personal experience on a place.
