Usually, November 15th is the day that Fremocentrist.com invites our readers to start voting for the Best Of Fremont. This year, however, we will be too busy closing down our Headquarters – and we instead invite our readers, and all art fans, to stop by the Down Under Gallery and say farewell!
On Sunday, November 28th, from Noon to 6p, the Down Under Gallery will be open for its final day of business. The Gallery is closing, after three years, and we hope you will stop by and give the art, and the artists, one more look.
Currently, the Down Under has two young, talented artists featured. Filip Tuhy has his second show Down Under – this one called ‘Grains Of Sand’. Tuhy has taken photos of buildings in Seattle and San Francisco and manipulated them, to create a symmetry and composition both pleasing and mind-bending. The results are reminiscent of M.C. Escher or the twistings of urban landscapes in the film ‘Inception.’
Tuhy has also brought to the Down Under an artist called Urban Mountain Sheep. She has drawings on-display, both from her bubbly and charming series ‘Homesteading Squirrels’ and pieces of Modern Yokai. Sheep has also brought us acrylic and watercolor paintings that provide bright and accurate interpretations of landscapes locally and from the southwest.
The Down Under also has pieces by local artists Scott Lantz, Rodman Miller and our curator, Adrian Laney. November 26th – 28th will be the last time we will be able to show these works together, and we hope you will come by and enjoy them with us. We are very excited about the new business coming to Fremont, with the exit of the Down Under Gallery, and we can fill you in at our ‘Day Of Farewell’ event.
The Down Under has enjoyed being a part of the vibrant and creative Fremont community. We look forward to the next chapters, but we’d like to give Sunday, November 28th over to closing out this one. Please, join us!
