Laurie Danial's exhibition "Before My Very Eyes," features new abstract paintings and framed works on paper that emphasize her loose, gestural style and experimental process. Danial, celebrated for her process-driven art, views each mark as a new discovery, inspired by her fascination with odd geometric shapes and repetition. The exhibition is set to engage viewers with its spontaneity and harmonious outcomes, drawing from Laurie's everyday inspirations.

Join us on First Thursday, November 7 from 5 to 8 pm and for Laurie Danial's Exhibition Talk on Saturday, November 9 starting at 11 am.

Also, we invite you to watch Laurie Danial's artist video now available on our website or YouTube channel. We're thrilled to share that Laurie's video has over 6k views- and growing!

Froelick Gallery is pleased to present Laurie Danials latest body of work, "Before My Very Eyes" featuring new paintings and framed works on paper. Laurie Danial is known for her loose, gestural, abstract paintings and experimental practice. Starting new work comes naturally for Laurie, it's the process, the "wrangling" that defines the work. As a painting develops, she describes the next discovery as "another rabbit hole to explore" - one mark leading to the next. It's in the making that she filters through her day-to-day inspirations like her latest obsession with triangles, odd geometrical shapes, and moments of symmetry and repetition. "Before My Very Eyes", is an exhibition of spontaneous elements, captivating encounters, and harmonious conclusions.

Laurie Danial received her art education from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and Portland State University. She has been featured in numerous solo and group shows regionally and nationally since 1991, including at the G. Gibson Gallery (Seattle, WA), Portland Art Museum, Oregon Center for Contemporary Art (Portland, OR), Schneider Museum (Ashland, OR), University of Oregon (Eugene, OR).

ORLANDO ALMANZA | "Gente de Río"

Orlando Almanza returns to Froelick Gallery with his latest body of work Gente de Río. These monumental-sized group portraiture paintings are based on precious moments of rest. His beloved models are the people and communities he has met throughout his early life in Cuba. The inspiration begins with family and neighbors from his home in Amancio, a small town in the Las Tunas Province located in the south countryside of Cuba. The second influence comes from the city of Havana specifically, Calle Amargura "Bitterness Street". After leaving his hometown, Calle Amargura was the place where Orlando found community with new friends and neighbors. In both places, Orlando noticed he was surrounded by family and friends who were struggling with systematic and historical issues that were well outside of their control.

Living in the present moment, surrounded by nature and loved ones is where Orlando Alamanza finds beauty and pride. Gente de Río is a celebration of his various communities and homes. The paintings all share a similar atmosphere and palette inspired by the river close to Orlando's hometown, Río Yáquimo. In the context of these paintings, the Yáquimo River represents the cycle of life- keeping Orlando and his people connected to their ancestors and those yet to come.
