Studios hosts “Classic Cars of Cuba” Stand Around & Art Show
H
ot Havana nights contin-
ue to be part of August’s
activities. Besides the Siuslaw
Athletic Booster Club’s annu-
al auction on Saturday night,
The Studios at Jayne Smoley
Designs is featuring unique
mixed-media photography of
Cuba and Havana with “Clas-
sic Cars in Cuban Culture,” a
show by Jon Grass. In addition,
there will be a “Classic Cars of
Florence” Stand Around to go
with the art show.
For Grass, inspiration
struck during a vacation stop
in Havana in April 2019.
The quick, one-day tour of
Cuba provided by the cruise
ship included a stop at a park-
ing lot filled with Cuban tax-
is. With a giant painting of
Castro overlooking, the lot
was filled with cacharros: 1950’s era Chevy’s,
Dodges, Pontiacs and Fords. The legendary
Cars of Cuba. However, it wasn’t the classic
Bel Aires or makeshift engines under the
hoods that piqued Grass’s interest. It was the
chrome. Or, more specifically, the light hit-
ting the chrome.
“The light reflection drew my attention. I

wasn’t even looking at the cars. I was drawn
to the way the light was catching the chrome,”
he said.
So he started snapping photos. While the
other tourists were taking traditional shots,
Jon was in tight, focusing on the chrome, the
hood and the tail, with close-ups of the grill
and the ornaments.
Earlier in his life, Grass was
a painter and later went into
commercial
photography.
Upon selling his company
in 2017, he was eager for the
next chapter in his life and
began doing experimental
abstract paintings before his
Caribbean cruise. After go-
ing through his images of the
Cuban cacharros, Grass had a
new revelation.
He called up his long-time
friend, Joshua Greene, own-
er of The Archives, a digital
print and restoration studio
located on the central Ore-
gon coast, which printed ‘El
Dodgé’ on rag media.
Grass pulled out his water-
colors and started painting.
Not thinking about the car,
just seeing it as a work of art.
In the end, Grass created 31 paintings, all
part of his show at The Studios.
Grass and The Studios resident artists
Jayne Smoley, Tamarah Phillips and Gigi Las-
san will attend the 2nd Saturday reception at
1458 First St. There will be live music and a
new seasonal Studio Box will be on display.
