OffShore:
Birds, Boats & Marine Life.
A group exhibition around one subject: the water and everything that lives near it. Pacific Northwest coastal work from artists who look closely at the intersection of human activity and natural cycles.
The Pacific Northwest coast is not a background. For the artists in OffShore, it’s the primary subject — the thing being figured out, picture by picture.
Ericka Wolf works in oil, building coastal imagery from accumulated marks that read as weather as much as landscape. Barbara Duzan’s bronze animals carry the specific weight of creatures observed at close range over long periods. Neal Philpott renders the sound of the shoreline in watercolor, where the medium’s transparency serves a subject that is itself transparent.
OffShore brings together work that takes the water seriously — not as backdrop, not as mood, but as the actual organizing force of life on the Pacific Coast.
