Main Gallery
The Rogue Gallery is proud to host the artwork of the contemporary art group AMBUS. The nine artists that comprise AMBUS will be exhibiting two dimensional and three dimensional work of a variety of mediums in the main gallery from January 10th through February 14th. Artists include Darla Baack, Susan Burnes, Dianne Jean Erickson, Frieda Golding, Janet E. Higgins, Kris Hoppe, Nancy Jo Mullen, Nancy Pagani, and Alice Stambaugh. Among the works exhibited will be encaustics, sculptures, mixed media pieces, and works in fiber.
Having exhibited throughout the northwest, each of these artists is accomplished in the visual arts. Their work demonstrates a beauty, liveliness, and elegance in contemporary art. The theme of this exhibit is the subject of background/foreground and positive/negative, in life as well as art. With nine very different artists working in different mediums, the expression of this theme will be evocative and engaging for the viewer.
Comprised of Oregon women artists, AMBUS Contemporary Art was formed in 2003 to provide a supportive venue to discuss, critique, and inspire creativity. They meet monthly to collaborate, encourage each other in the artistic process, and to pursue exhibit venues. They explain that their vital connection as a group has always included personal as well as creative support. As artist they maintain sincere involvement with each other’s processes, ideas, and concerns. The context of each artist’s work evolves independently within the context of their long standing creative and professional pact.
