WROUGHT IRON INSPIRES ARTIST IN NATURE-BASED PAINTINGS
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Oakland Public Library Rockridge Branch
(see times)
For the month of July, the Rockridge Library is exhibiting artwork by Jennifer Downey, an oil painter. Inspired by wrought iron work she observes in local daily life and in travels abroad, her canvases feature curling loops, graceful curves and lobbing arcs painted in rich, earth-tone colors. She finds striking iron designs in the often-hidden balconies, fences and gates that grace urban cityscapes.
With saturated earthy palettes and sprawling curves, these paintings echo the plants, streams and vines of the natural environment. And with repeated use of the spiral, they talk about humankind’s visual language. Serene and atmospheric, these paintings give the viewer a sense of interplay between lushness and simplicity.
