VALERIE COLLYMORE ARTIST
"SOUVENIRS DE FRANCE"
by Artist Valerie Collymore
One Day Only
FEBRUARY 2nd, 2012
During Pioneer Square's First Thursday ArtWalk
5:00 pm to 9:00 pm
at
STUDIO 103
in Pioneer Square
located at 306 S. Washington
in the Tashiro Kaplan Arts Building
The Blue Horse Gallery, at 301 W. Holly, Bellingham, WA 98225,
has graciously agreed to loan works by Valerie Collymore from their collection
for this ONE DAY ONLY showing and sale
at Studio 103 in Pioneer Square.
The "Souvenirs de France" works retrace steps from my childhood and adolescence spent happily in Nice and Villefranche- sur-mer, with many excursions to Eze Village, Cannes, St. Tropez, Juan-les-Pins, Monaco, Menton, Beaulieu, Haut de Cagnes, and many other picturesque towns on the French Riviera.
With these works, using Provence-manufactured extra fine Charvin brand oil paints
on fine linen, I strive to share my impressions of the brilliant light, the unique colors, the exciting visual compositions and the pace of life in that uniquely magnificent part of the world.
Through representational and impressionistic works focused on powerful compositions enhanced by unusual light effects, my goal is to share my attraction to scenes and subjects which have triggered feelings of joy, wonder, serenity or mischief, and to share the new processes employed in creating each collection. While making the emotional impact and the in-the-moment character of selected subjects a priority, I am also striving to be mindful of the academics of art.
-- Valerie Collymore
Avec une préférence pour l’art réaliste et impressioniste, et attirée par les compositions puissantes renforcée par des effets de lumière notables, mon objectif est de partager les scènes et les sujets qui ont déclenché en moi des sentiments de joie, d'émerveillement, de sérénité ou d’espièglerie, et de révéler les nouveaux procédés utilisés dans la création de chaque collection. Tout en faisant la priorisation de l'impact émotionnel du moment, que j’espere avec chaque oeuvre traduire à coups de pinceau, je
m'efforce également d'être consciente des principes academiques de l'art.
Studio 103 in Pioneer Square:
Open during First Thursday ArtWalks in Pioneer Square, 5pm - 9 pm
Open hours: Fridays and Saturdays, noon to 5pm
And by appointment.
