First Friday Extended Hours: Beatrix Ost & Doug Young
POSTED ON 11.13.2019
First Friday Extended Hours: December 6, 5:30pm-7:30pm
Join us this December for First Friday extended hours celebrating Illuminations & Illusions by Beatrix Ost and The Slow Death of Rocks by Doug Young. This event is free and open to the public. Don't miss your chance to experience a live performance by Abel Okugawa.
Second Street Gallery is pleased to present “Illuminations & Illusions”, an exhibition spanning over four decades of Beatrix Ost's career as a visual artist.
Beatrix Ost’s evocative and dreamlike work has been exhibited all over the world, exploring the nature of time and intimacy, as well as the fragility of the beauty that surrounds us.
Doug Young's exhibition, "The Slow Death of Rocks", will be on view from November 1, 2019 – January 10, 2020 in SSG’s Dové Gallery.
Doug Young’s works explore tensions between the natural and manmade world in a manner that is dystopian yet hopeful. Employing the technique of reverse painting on glass, Young creates a visual experience that uses illusion and wonder as an antithesis to oppressive systems that devalue individual labor and personal expression.
