The spontaneous perception of connections

                                  and meaningfulness in unrelated phenomena.

          …or in our case…

Finding meaningfulness in the work of two phenomenal South Sound painters.

    We are excited to present Apophenia featuring the paintings of Dale Witherow and Angel (Fred) Matamoros. Apophenia opens with an artists’ reception Thursday August 21 5:00 – 8:00 pm.  The show will run through September 27. Extended through 10/11! 

    Witherow’s work is rooted in the landscape.  Retired after 30 years as an Associate Professor of Art on the east coast, he often floats between abstracts and the representational.  His canvases are rich with symbolism from life itself.  Witherow’s palette is deep, earthy colors inspired from the Northeast, the Northwest and Mexico where he received his MFA in 1964.

    Costa Rican born Angel (Fred) Matamoros is best known locally as the award-winning graphic artist for The News Tribune.  These free-flowing and expressive abstract paintings are a departure from the detailed aspects of his day job. His canvases are inspired by memories and emotions recreated using color, texture and the occasional line of type or collage element.  (Check this out!)

    In addition to these two fine painters, the ceramic art of Anne Reilly will also be featured. Reilly works in both sculptural and functional stoneware. The pieces featured in Apophenia are from a series entitled Warriors and are large-scale sculptural assemblages inspired from her Australian roots.

    Images of several pieces in the show can be seen on our gallery page.  We will post more soon with details and prices, too!
