Giving it all four art

A group of artists that walk their talk will present a group show at Lincoln City’s Chessman Gallery opening this Friday, April 4

Meet the artists and enjoy light refreshment at the opening reception from 5 to 7 pm on Friday, or take a virtual gallery tour by going to the Lincoln City Culture page on Facebook on Saturday.

The four talented artists have come together for the show, “Same Language, Different Dialect” to exhibit their reactions to the natural world. They all speak the language of art but through a different dialect of mediums. Carol Chapel is a painter, Jerri Bartholomew a glass artist, Hester Coucke a found objects artist and Owen Premore is a crochet artist.

“In this series I’m reacting to the ever-fascinating natural world,” Chapel said. “We are so lucky to be living in Oregon. What abundance! ocean, mountains, valleys, deserts, rivers and forests. Nature knows how to bring it all. Shapes, lines, colors and textures is the language I speak. Of course, there is the emotional element too. I’m hoping I translated both seeing and feeling. I invited three friends to join me to reinforce my belief that we speak the same language but there are different dialects.”

“Same Language, Different Dialect” will be on display through May 18 at the Chessman Gallery, located inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 540 NE Hwy. 101. The center is open from 10 am to 5 pm, Wednesday through Sunday.
