"Time Traps: Poetry into Painting" by Virginia Sharkey

Acrylic on Linen over Panel

Time Trap: Poetry into Painting consists of the days of the week series Sharkey painted as part of her on-going investigation into the pictorial depiction of time. What is unusual about these paintings, inspired by medieval books of the hours, is that the artist first conceived of them through writing poems, included in this exhibit, which were then translated into the highly saturated color fields of these sensual large-scale abstract paintings.

The show is from July 6 – 31 with a First Friday Reception July 7, from 5-8pm.  Wine is generously provided by Handley Cellars.

Partners Gallery is located at 335 N. Franklin Street in Fort Bragg and is open Wednesday through Monday 10 am to 5 pm and Sundays 10 am to 4 pm. 707 962-0233 http://www.partnersgallery.com
