The featured art for April is titled “Corporate Christianity.” The artist writes, “There are two modern forms of governance in American culture: the conservative, Strict Father model and the progressive Nurturing Parent model. The first prescribes an indi- vidualist authority instructing one how to behave … ‘we know what’s best for you so do what you are told,’ while the other model prescribes consensus and collective thinking … ‘let’s discuss our problems and arrive at compromise.’ In the scene described, our nurturing parent has been splayed across the hood of the car and her child is climbing up to join the fray.” Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Opening reception for BLOOM, featuring artists Bev Drew Kindley, Gretha Lindwood and Susan Cur- ington. Kindley, a native Orego- nian, with dual degrees in art and philosophy, paints to understand the inspiration of unique moments of light with impressionistic works of art that are to viewed as visual celebrations. “It’s my way of com- municating with the world. My hope is to encourage appreciate and protection of our heritage and world.” Lindwood uses vibrant color and strong design, hallmarks of artwork, developed during a career as an illustrator and graphic designer. Another lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, the artist cherishes landscapes honed by water and time and delight in capturing their beauty in the lush colors of pastels or oils to share Beach Books 616 Broadway Featuring artist Jim Zaleski, who combines the traditional art forms of painting and drawing with a computer world to produce art that is loaded with whimsy. Zaleski returns to the Loft Gallery with “a little of this, and a little of that,” an eclectic, show that includes new works. He creates colorful abstract prints full of intense, saturated colors and shimmering, atmospher- ic light. He also enjoys fashioning light-hearted, whimsical, figurative themes. Sound interesting? “Good, because by a strange twist of fate, I get to restart part of my life and answer the ubiquitous question, ‘what do I want to be when I grow up’? By all measures, this ought to be an interesting adventure. So, woo-hoo, hang on and follow along! I’ll do my best to make it worth your while”. T.anjuli Gallery 7 N.
