Newport Visual Arts Center to debut three new exhibits on Friday, August 2nd
Oregon Coast Council for the Arts is excited to announce three new exhibitions coming to Newport Visual Arts Center galleries August 2nd – September 29th, 2024. Gallery admission is free to the public.Newport, Oregon:
() The sculptural exhibit represents a full departure from Haga's fifty years of two-dimensional artwork. Inspired by his interest in the Asian concept of Wabi-Sabi – a design aesthetic that combines ancient material (in this case driftwood) with modern elements – Haga's pieces are crafted using gourds, shop-made additions, and wild chromatic pigments. “Although I have been fabricating 'things' most of my life, this work is perhaps the most fun and engrossing art I have done for some time,” said Haga. “I have worked with modern pigments, powders, gels, and unique wood shapes.”In the Runyan Gallery, Doug Haga’s “Here, There and Back Again”coastarts.org/events/doug-hagafeatur…
