Peter Zambas
June 9 – July 3
A selection of oil paintings by Fieldbrook artist Peter Zambas are featured this month at the Upstairs Art Gallery. Also showing are new paintings by John Crater, Beverly Harper, Michael Hayes, Jim McVicker, Theresa Oats, Rachel Schlueter and Stock Schlueter along with new photographs from Rick Gustafson and Michael Harris.
As part of our celebration of Peters artistry, we are delighted to share with you a three minute video of Peter talking about his art. The video is produced by Lynette Nutter. A higher quality version and other videos by Lynette can be seen by clicking this link.
Zambas is a representational oil painter. ”I like to go into a place and capture the energetic truth that is there,” Zambas says. “It’s not so much story telling, but creating space through the relationships among objects.”
A public reception will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, June 12 during Arts! Arcata at the Upstairs Art Gallery, 1063 G Street inside the Umpqua Bank building.
