SUMMARY:Sticking Together: New Ideas in Collage
DESCRIPTION:KALA presents: STICKING TOGETHER (new ideas in collage) Th
 is collage exhibit presents materials and methods that challenge tradi
 tional formal restraints of artistic practice. Currently as a response
  to the over-commercialization of art, many artists combine various st
 yles and unusual media in an attempt to expand our perception of art a
 nd to explore more intriguing visual language. Artists featured in thi
 s exhibit use collage and other mixed media materials with a strong co
 ntent, emotion or concept to provoke the viewer to approach visual art
  in a new way. Chicago based Megan Stroech uses paint and printed mate
 rial to create large-scale installation. Stroech completed her MFA fro
 m Illinois State University and was recently included in New American 
 Painting and a residency at Anderson Art Ranch. Portland based artists
 : Kurtiss Lofstrom uses hand-tearing of found material reducing the im
 age to emotive abstract color that are fragments of half-remembered ex
 perience; Kelly Saxton (MFA from Pratt Institute) creates time-based l
 andscape collages that expand and contract with growth and decline; Ju
 stin L’Amie represented by PDX Gallery in Portland, creates work don
 e in collaboration with friends with a casual off-hand method of const
 ruction; Valerie Whittlesey, an abstract painter who works in the gard
 en, combines texture, color and scientific elements to create metaphor
 s that combine to unite and separate people; local filmmaker, Sid DeLu
 ca presents found vintage material from the 1950’s through the 1970s
  -- fascinated when dialogue from other sources is dubbed into the wor
 k crating a surreal effect, Deluca represents this concept on paper. S
 eptember 14, 2nd Saturday Art Walk, 5-8pm. KALA is located at 1017 Mar
 ine Drive in Astoria.\n\nFor more information visit https://collagesoc
