Fontanelle Gallery is pleased to present Our Songs of Experience, an exhibition featuring new work in watercolor and ink by Portland-based artist Julianna Bright.
Julianna's lively watercolor and ink drawings feature a delicate allegorical narrative, punctuated with mothers, daughters, rabbits, and specters of death. Bringing to mind works by William Blake and Henry Darger, Bright investigates her own philosophies through a world of fables where children hold the key to unlocking emotions of hunger, vigor and truth.
Julianna will perform with her band The Golden Bears on opening night, Thursday, December 3rd at 7:30pm. The band will be playing songs from the new, yet to be released album, 'Our Songs of Experience' whose lyrical content was developed alongside the paintings for this show. Local clothing designer Jess Beebe will costume the band for the performance.
Julianna Bright was born in Los Angeles, CA and spent many years in Orange County and the Bay Area where she received a Bachelor of Arts from UC Berkeley. In 1995, she relocated to Portland, OR, where she currently lives and works. She has previously exhibited at galleries such as Charmingwall in New York, Needles & Pens in San Francisco, Motel Gallery in Portland, and Tinlark Gallery in Hollywood, CA.
Our Songs of Experience will be on view at Fontanelle Gallery, 205 SW Pine Street (between 2nd and 3rd Avenue) December 2, 2009 - January 30, 2010. Please contact the gallery for more information.
