You’re not going to want to miss the Artist’s Reception on Friday, June 3 at the Burien Arts Gallery for the opening of Vancouver B.C. artist Josh Byer’s wildly colorful Faux Fauvism exhibit.
The reception is 5 p.m.-8 p.m. at the Gallery, 826 SW. 152nd St. in Olde Burien.
Josh describes Faux Fauvism as “capturing the moment immediately before a composition disintegrates into pure abstraction.”
The technique, inspired by Henri Matisse, celebrates elements of Fauvism, Cubism, Pointillism and street art.
The exhibit runs June 1-June 25.
Josh’s work has been displayed in Toronto and Los Angeles as well as on the cover of numerous publications.
The incredibly multi-talented and prolific artist has also earned extensive credits as a screenwriter, director, producer, actor, copywriter, journalist and author.
Also in June at the Burien Arts Gallery, Artists United presents a small works show of affordable art by over 20 local artists. The show will feature a variety of media, including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, collage, photography, mixed media, fiber and colored pencil. All artwork will be less than 12 inches by 12 inches.
The Burien Arts Gallery is open Wednesday through Saturday, noon-6 p.m. For more information visit www.burienarts.org or call 206-244-7808.
