SOLO EXHIBITION:
ROY LOWRY
Roy Lowry's experience in the arts is extensive: from his work as an illustrator in Chicago, to textile design in Hawaii. He has traveled Alaska, England, Scotland, and back to Washington, establishing studio practices and exhibiting along the way. Roy Lowry is one of the best-known local artists in Grays Harbor, where he co-founded the North Beach Artists Guild, teaches art classes throughout the Harbor, and paints prolifically.
Renegade Red Studio & Gallery is proud to present Color in Motion, the recent works of Roy Lowry. The subject matter is varied, but invariably local: land and seascapes, the grays of winter and the saturated colors of Hoh and Quinault, abstracts of flora and fauna. Roy's technique is masterful— his use of wet-on-wet watercolor seems effortlessly controlled, while contrasted by seamless realism or masterful abstraction.
Exhibition dates: June 8–August 24, 2019

SOLO EXHIBITION:
JEFF OLSON
Vicennial: Paintings 1999-2019
Jeff Olson is a Seattle, Washington based artist with a significant and original body of work spanning more than twenty years. His paintings offer a unique vision of the landscape and the inspirational forces of nature which shape it. The central theme of his work has always lay within the primacy of the brushstroke in the process of painting. It is in essence the evidence of the physical interaction of the artist with the “stuff of this world,” - an evidence of life.
Exhibition dates: April 6–May 1, 2019
TRIO EXHIBITION:
THREE FRIENDS
Nathan Barnes, Liza Brenner, and Barlow Palminteri make objects and pictures in paint. Over the last two years, they’ve shown artwork together on multiple occasions. They’ve come to know one another's artistic practice well. It’s a cordial alliance of grand recursive narratives, nostalgic tropes, and odd associations.

JACOBY HINTON
What Happened to Figurative Art?
So much can be said with just our bodies. With just a look we are able to collectively understand each other on a fundamental level; while at the same time, we each have an intimate connection with our bodies that no one else can fully understand. It is this duality that makes our bodies such versatile and interesting subjects. Jacoby's style draws inspiration from 19th century romanticism, contemporary abstract methods, and Japanese anime to celebrate the full potential of the human form. An expressive energy emerges when you juxtapose a meticulously drawn human form with the controlled chaos and energy of palette knife strokes. Jacoby seeks to paint color palettes that are fiercely bright and full of contrast, yet seemingly balanced within each painting.
Exhibition dates: February 2–February 27, 2019
SOLO EXHIBITION:
MARY CHANT
Living in the Pacific Northwest, where there is so much natural beauty to celebrate, I try to combine what I see with the feelings it evokes - the essence of impressionism. Calling attention to the everyday, like the painting of the prayer flags hanging at my backdoor or the shadow a cloud creates as it travels between the sky and the ground is what brings me joy as a person and as an artist.
Exhibition dates: January 5–January 30, 2019

SOLO EXHIBITION:
ERIC FARAMUS
For Eric Faramus, surrealist painter and freelance graphic designer newly local to the Grays Harbor area, art has been a passion since he was a young boy. He recalls always having some type of writing tool in hand, drawing whatever came to his imagination.
"Everyone draws when they are little, and some of them stop. I never stopped."
Faramus’ paintings are rich in color and creativity, leaving the viewer’s imagination to create a story. When it comes to inspiration, he finds it in everything: movies, catalogs, photographs and a combination of many media. In his process, he experiments with several different painting techniques and color schemes, using many different aides to assist him in the process.
Originally from France, Faramus attended college at the Superior School of Graphic Design ESAG Paris, and received his master’s degree in graphic design and illustration. Today, he lives in Grayland with his wife, and has an in-home studio.
Exhibition dates: October 7–November 18, 2017

MICHAEL DINNING
Some Assembly Required
A love of history and a sense of place, the joy of family, the intrigue of music and a sense of social awareness all combine and recombine as central elements in my artwork. My creative process is a way for me to give form to the construction of these themes, through the use of artistic layering, targeted lighting and physical depth. I create primarily large scale narrative sculptures and wall pieces, combining painted canvasses with a wide variety of found objects. My goal when creating artwork is to present something that is immediately engaging, consistently compelling, and leaves a lasting impression, and I feel that this mixed media approach gives me the best set of tools to achieve this end. I also feel that painting and sculpture are, along with the creative vision, something to be built, and the joy of that constructive process is as important to me as realizing a coherent, complex and compelling artistic expression.

SOLO EXHIBITION:
MELINDA SANTORA
The mythologies & archetypes
of everyday life
Melinda's work often consists of ideas that swirl around beauty, nature, love and play. As she puts it, her work is "often messy, sometimes unclear, and nearly always imperfect," but that's what she believes makes her work more realistic, just like life. Inspired by the art of Bonnard and Kees Van Dongen, she uses acrylics and various found objects and natural elements to pair paint and nature. Her aim is to lure the viewer into discovering an object’s beauty through an exchange between themselves and the larger universe around them—whether the soft-red light of a cheek, or the shimmering surface of a leaf—her hope is to draw the observer into seeing what has always existed around them, viewed in a new light.
Exhibition dates: August 5–August 30, 2017
