Geometric Incidents
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 21st 12:00 – 2:00pm This three-person exhibition of paintings, works-on-paper and sculpture focuses on and illustrates our interests in geometric compositional strategies. Our work exemplifies the influences that are fundamental in nature, science and architecture that each of us utilizes, some more actively and predominantly than others. This common interest is the visual link to our individual approaches where the varied results reflect the “incidental” occurrences that our separate creative processes reveal. Although our individual specific influences may vary and our geometric incidents materialize as distinctly unique outcomes, we find that these underlying influences are at the core of our work.

Wise Guise

Humor can conceal the serious and the somber can revel in wit. “Wise Guise” unites four South Coast artists working in a wide variety of disciplines and with vastly differing temperaments and approaches to the world who […]

The Apple Tree on the Abandoned Railroad Line
The Apple Tree on the Abandoned Railroad Line An Exhibition by Elin Noble and Lasse Antonsen The artist couple, Elin Noble and Lasse Antonsen, have long careers as artists, but this exhibition marks the first time they are presenting work they have made together. Noble and Antonsen had a residency in September 2018 in the town of Assens, on the Island of Fyn, in Denmark. While there, they discovered an apple tree on an abandoned railroad line, and began to dye cloth with the apple leaves, apple tree bark, and the apples themselves. In 2019 they returned to the island, and dyed additional cloth. Compositionally they decided to focus on the test strip, the small strip of cloth with which a dyer tests the color before dying a larger piece of cloth. The test strips Noble and Antonsen created have been partially dipped in an iron solution, darkening and expanding the color range. These “test strips” have then been arranged into wall hangings inspired by traditional Korean Bojagi, a...
GALLERY INFORMATION
The BayCoast Bank Gallery at the Narrows Center
Thursday – Saturday, Noon – 5:00 p.m.
The Narrows Center strives to expose our community to a wide range of performing and visual art. While our concerts showcase a variety of music genres, our galleries do the same with visual exhibitions. Shows range from student work to museum quality collections. We have exhibited photography, sculpture, illustration, paintings, prints, and mixed media pieces. We have even showcased a Lego exhibit by a nationally known Lego artist!
Many of the shows in the two galleries include artwork which may be purchased by the public, enhancing the lives of attendees well into the future.
Recognizing that arts related activities may be cost prohibitive to many, the Narrows Center provides free admission to the gallery during regular gallery hours. In doing so, the public has access to view spectacular artwork locally. Concertgoers also get to view the artwork on performance nights. Our goal is to expose as many visitors as possible to the beauty and diversity of art. There is something unique and special about viewing art up close. We have created a calm and well-lit space to allow visitors to absorb the depth of talent, skill, and creativity involved with each piece being shared.
