Steampunk show extended at KB Art Studios
Gigi Lassan and Giuliano
Marchetti’s highly successful
steampunk
show
titled
“PICT.up.ART” has been held
over through Tuesday, July 5,
due to popular demand.
The exhibit marked the
reopening of the gallery por-
tion of Kenneth B Art Studios
in Old Town Florence, and
nearly 200 people, including
state Sen. Arnie Roblan and
Florence Mayor Joe Henry,
were in attendance at the open-
ing reception May 14.
Owner SK Lindsey states, “I
could not be more pleased.
This was an unusual situation
where I had to abandon both
artists at the very last minute to
work out of state. Both Gigi
and Giuliano were left to their
own devises to pull this off.
They not only curated the
show, but Gigi had to manage
the reception presentation and
all aspects of the gallery while
I was away.
“And to top that off, we
decided to bump the creative
element up a notch by not
merely hanging an exhibit but
an entire installation. Each
artist had to turn the entire
gallery space into an engaging
visual experience for the view-
er. Gigi and Giuliano hit it out
of the ballpark.”
YACHATS — Portland's
Blue Owens Band will again

tar and sing, Michael
MorningSun will play bass,

Artwork by Giuliano Marchetti (left) and Gigi Lassan (right) will be on display through
July 5 at Kenneth B Art Studios in Old Town Florence.
Since the opening of the
show, the gallery has increased
its social media interest list
well over 25 percent, and the
gallery’s weekly attendance by
individuals outside Florence
has nearly doubled.
Giuliano Marchetti is well
known among regional steam-
punk artists and has previously
shown work at the Silver
Lining Gallery in Florence and
New Zone Gallery in Eugene.
In “PICT.up.ART,” Marchetti
exhibits several new pieces that
feature his distinctive style and
sense of humor in sculptural
pieces that are often hung on
walls.
Gigi Lassan is well known
throughout the community for
her amazing steampunk jewel-
ry, where she incorporates
found objects that are elegantly
designed as high-fashion wear-
able art with her “Avec le
Temps” collection. Her jewelry
is also sold at Bonjour
Boutique on Bay Street.
In “PICT.up.ART,” Lassan
displays her wearable art in a
variety of uniquely designed
bird cages, hauntingly adorned
shadow frames filled with dolls
against abstract paintings.

upcoming shows from resident
artist Tamarah Phillips for the
month of July and local artist
Sam Dantone for the months of
August and September, visit

Resident artists open the
gallery most days of the week
throughout the summer. The
