1 5:30 PM | Oregon Art Supply (1020 Pearl St) Explore work by two employees, Willie Boswick and Laura Figa (right). Willie shows abstract paintings and drawings that encompass themes of color, balance, and repetition. Laura Figa’s work is filled with boxed up spaces, which appear to become disassembled, urgent line work, densely built up media, and material re-appropriation, all of which discuss the temporality of assigned meaning.
2 6 PM | Passionflower Design (128 E Broadway) Send a beautiful handmade Valentine’s Day card! Local letterpress artist Kristin Walker from Twin Ravens Press will speak about running a small letterpress shop and give people the opportunity to try using the press, while Eugene Calligraphy Guild members demonstrate their craft hand addressing cards purchased in store. Also discover handmade cards from local artists Becky Tonkin, Bev Soasey, Judith Sparks, and Rogene Manas.
3 6:30 PM | OUT ON A LIMB Gallery (191 E Broadway) - Highlight! Printmaker Heather Halpern, co-owner of Whiteaker Printmakers, a community printmaking art studio in Eugene, shows a variety of her work. She states, “The bulk of my recent work is an expression of pain, tempered by hope. I sought solace in the creative process, as I struggled to make sense of some significant losses.To reflect my sense of despair, my monotype plates started as massive black expanses. I pulled out limited lights to stress darkness and isolation, and to indicate glimmers of hope.”
4 7 PM | InEugene Real Estate (100 E Broadway)
InEugene Real Estate exhibits work by Jerry Ross, including old and new paintings related to Italian history and society, Hooft family portraits, abstract landscapes, portraits of his wife Angela, and abstract figurative works.
5 7:30 PM | Euphoria Chocolate Company (946 Willamette St) Taking over the walls and windows for the February ArtWalk is the show “Labors of Love,” featuring quilts by the Eugene Modern Quilt Guild. Modern quilting is a twist on the traditional art of quilting. Modern quilts have a varied style, but the most common characteristics are bold use of colors and prints, high contrast and graphic areas of solid color, improvisational piecing, minimalism, expansive negative space, and/or alternate grid work.
