JEFF KEY

The March Second Sunday Spotlight visits

who will give a virtual tour of his studio, show his fascinating works,

and talk about his inspirations and techniques.

The event begins at 3:00 PM on March 14th.

Registration is required to obtain the Zoom link.

Jeff Key, “Vessel #86”—Détante”, wood, 30" x 22" x16"

Jeff describes these works below:

My work focuses on Theories of Evolution with allegorical and metaphorical references to the past, present and future. In examining questions of evolution I have taken into consideration aspects of birth and death, rites of passage, war and power, transportation, shelter, communication, and food / water sources with reference to the influence of natural elements such as fire, water and the Earth’s incongruities on these systems.

My recent work, although abstract in nature makes allusion to the vessel, a cross-cultural, and at times totemic form, which represents human presence and the cycle of life. The pieces are primarily constructed with wood and flax, a natural plant fiber. For health and political reasons I stopped using toxic materials when I began the “Vessel Series.”

Invite PRS members to visit your studio in a Zoom-based event!

You can review your website, show works in progress, demonstrate a technique, or just talk about art.

BARRY BEACH

  

Barry Beach 

Barry Beach has works in the group exhibition A Moment of Reflection, juried by Emebet Korn of Desta Gallery, at the O’Hanlon Center for the Arts in Mill Valley, CA. The description of the exhibition is below:

When one looks at art they can become deeply immersed into works that engender contemplation. The artist captures a deep moment of reflection or meditative state.  It isn't about a knowing or concept but a feeling of now, of just this – a moment to reflect on. It is contemplative, not confrontational. Its impact is residual. What do you create in those moments of reflection?

 The exhibition continues through 3/19/2021. More information is available at this link:  www.OHanlonCenter.org/exhibits/current/
