Opening/Artist Reception:
* Friday, July 26, 6:00-8:00 pm

Exhibit Dates:  July 26 - September 14

Marin Art and Garden Center showcases the work of Sonoma artists Peter Hassen and Dick Morisawa.

Both artists mine the patterns and proclivities of nature that echo human behaviors and archetypes.  Their work is very dissimilar in visual appearance, but connected in their explorations of nature and spirit.

Hassen’s large, digital prints and video work play with science, nature and spirituality. He manifests a dialogue between these themes, raising existential questions about humans, cultures and existence.

Morisawa’s beautiful mixed media paintings use birds as a symbol for both freedom and connection. He incorporates a liberal movement of ink and paint, referencing Japanese calligraphy alongside a few cartoonish strokes.

Curated by Kate Eilertsen, the exhibition In Flight befits MAGC’s mission of nature and community conservation.

A reception with the artists will be held Friday, July 26, 6-8pm.
