HIGH LINE

April 2 - May 16, 2009

Opening Reception 1st Thursday, April 2, 6-8 pm

 Catherine Person Gallery is pleased to announce High Line, a drawing survey

with Northwest artists Pam Keeley, Barry Maxwell, Colleen Hayward, Joseph Pentheroudakis, Binky Walker and Julie Alexander. 

For artists in every stage of their career - from emerging to the most mature - drawings are sought after for being both personal and accessible.  As an art medium, drawing offers the most direct mark of the hand and closely reflects the artists thoughts. High Line features figurative and abstract drawings ranging in size from tiny at 3” up to a sensational 60” wide. Each of the artists’ work stands out as original and are united by their obsessive patience, devotion to detail and skilled hand. It's fascinating to see a wide variety of exemplary work employed by the simplest of materials and High Line offers this opportunity.
