Description
Please join us for drinks and hors d'euvres while we enjoy exciting new works by local artist Jonah Burlingame.Jonah's work is a self discovered style resulting from a process of applying paint, varnish and aluminum roofing cement in very thin layers using non traditional implements such as window squeegees, 14" drywall blades, windshield wipers, string, rubber bands and others. He has intentionally limited the materials and their application in order to force his focus on the process and its evolution. Within this process he has left left plenty of opportunity for chance - Jonah refers to it as 'controlling the accident'. It's these 'accidents' that often become the subject of future bodies of work. In allowing for chance within his process, he constantly challenges himself with new problems and thus, repeatedly questions his creative direction.
