Lawrence Gallery Salishan Will Host Receptions for Korey Gulbrandson and Jeff Butler

(Gleneden Beach, Oregon) - Lawrence Gallery Salishan in Gleneden Beach (The Shops at Salishan Resort) will host receptions for artists Korey Gulbrandson and Jeff Butler

Korey Gulbrandson (www.lawrencegallery.net - Korey Gulbrandson) began his artistic career as a child, when he won a local supermarket coloring contest. It was in high school, when he found some old oil paints that belonged to his mother, that he began to use paint as his main medium.

Creating his abstracts is a laborious process that begins with carefully crafting wooden canvasses, then applying layers of wax and acrylic paint, working to emphasize contrasting elements and texture. Korey's new work is a development in texture and refinement of his technique. "I'm never content" says Korey. "There is always something new to be done."

He now focuses on furthering his style by creating abstracts in a simple, yet sophisticated manner. Gulbrandson's newest body of work personifies his philosophical perspective, much like the new tatoo he wears, which reads simply: "Less is more".

Meet Korey Gulbrandson during his artist reception at Lawrence Gallery Salishan on Saturday, November 6, from 2 PM to 4 PM.

Jeff Butler's (www.lawrencegallery.net - Jeff Butler) subject matter comes from memory, imagination, and interpretation of life unfolding. Previous training and experience in photography and graphic design began his journey as an artist. Ultimately, he was drawn to sculpture to explore form, space and dimension in a more tactile manner. Chosen for durability, sustainability, and complimentary to his work, his chosen materials are a combination of organic materials such as wood, stone, metal and pigment. Each element is carefully selected, cut, carved, formed and surfaced to maximize the visual impact of the finished piece. Says Butler, "My objective for each piece of sculpture is to arouse interest, draw the viewer closer and intrigue the mind. The interplay of materials and form is designed to hold interest. My style is abstract and contemporary and offers the opportunity for personal interpretation and conversation."

Jeff Butler's work will be featured during November and December at Lawrence Gallery Salishan. His first show with Lawrence Gallery, you may meet the artist during a reception on Saturday, November 6, from two o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon.
