Sarah Spurgeon Gallery Exhibition Calendar 2010

Winter 2010

January 9 - February 7, 2010
Richard C. Elliott: Vibrational Field

Opening Reception:
January 8, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m.

Ellensburg artist Richard C. Elliott (1945-2008) is remembered for his innovative style that combines dazzling light and a broad spectrum of color with complex geometric patterns. Whether composed of neon, plastic reflectors, oil on canvas, or digital media, Elliott's work possesses a dramatic presence and scale that requires active participation from the viewer.

The CWU Sarah Spurgeon Gallery is honored to be the first venue to display the Vibrational Field series in its entirety. The fifty-seven digital prints, completed in 2008, were Elliott's final body of work prior to his death in November, 2008. Two 9 ft. x 18 ft. oil paintings from the 2006-2007 Primal Op series will also be featured. In addition to debuting the Vibrational Field series, the exhibit will provide the community with an opportunity to celebrate the life and accomplishments of one of Ellensburg's premier visual artists.
