Donald Owen Colley @ the Mercer Gallery
- April 2-April 30, 2020
- Opening Reception: Thursday, April 2, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
In 2012, as one of Faber-Castell's celebrated instructors, Donald Owen
Colley led an illustrated road trip across America, which covered 11 cities
where he held drawing and illustration demos using Faber-Castell products. For
this exhibition of his numerous sketchbooks and drawings, Colley will conduct
workshops and artist talks throughout the week.
The artist has been exhibiting paintings, prints, and sketchbooks in earnest
since 1983. According to Colley, "I am now, after a couple decades of pondering
societal woes and coulrophobic parallels, working primarily on visual
journaling, urban sketching while returning to a nomadic lifestyle as pencil
salesman."
While in Rochester, he plans to attend a Red Wings Baseball game to sketch
the players in action.
Opening Reception parking provided in Lot F.
Free and open to the
public.
