■ART A Feast for the Eyes at Opus 5 by Kathy Caprario Elizabeth Brinton’s newest col lection of works at the Opus 5 Gallery is a feast for the eyes. Budding flowers, musical instru ments and slices of ripe melon are orchestrated in harmonic composi tions that express a love of life. Brinton is a current member of the Northwest Print Council and is well known for her silk-screened prints. She offers us several art works in that media. Two pieces based on a similar theme, “Musi cal Arrangement I” and “Musical Arrangement H,” stand out for their beautiful and complex compositions. In “Musical Ar rangement n,” the artist uses the white of the paper to open up the space which creates a visual flow that refreshes us like a cool breeze. The colors employed, dus ty tones in teal, mauve and yellow, also add to that sensation and en hance the rhythmic drawing. A more compact space and denser palette is explored in “Musical Ar rangement I.” Also presented are a series of egg tempera paintings. These are the artist’s initial and successful at tempts with this originally medieval painting technique. “Still Life-August” glows within its strong and richly dark composi tion. “Little Brass Vase” shows us the minute detail of its objects while “Studio Oranges” is bold and colorful in its paint application allowing the strokes to show, tell ing the tale of its making. “Anni versary Camellia” also reveals its structure by its light-filled, painter ly marks. The connecting threads by which all these works are woven into a whole are the artist’s daring and beautiful use of color and her lov ing attention to objects from every day life. We are compelled by her work to discover the delights within the objects that surround us. Although the show officially ended May 4, selected works by Brinton will continue to be on display at the gallery through the month. The Opus 5 Gallery is located at 136 East Broadway in Downtown Eugene. Fishbowl, 6” x 6”, Screenprint. Elizabeth Brinton, Feb., 1987. May ’Otfj It9s your_ turn to deliver!
