SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The current art exhibit at the Rollin Art Centre features Port Alberni artist Robert Hall.
“Just the Way I see it…” is a showcase of acrylic painted and poured landscapes and portraits.
“I like to paint the light and I am drawn to scenes where darkness moves into light, using a technique called Abstract Impressionism,” says Hall.
This exhibit runs until May 29. The Rollin Art Centre is located at the corner of Eighth Avenue and Argyle Street.
NEXT EXHIBIT
The Rollin Art Centre’s next exhibit will feature a group of five local female artists; Sue Thomas, Jillian Mayne, Colleen Clancy, Ann McIvor and Laurie Blakley.
Titled, “Women’s Work,” this exhibit will showcase their individualism. The diversity of the work reflects each woman’s unique creative process and artistic expression.
The exhibit opens June 1.
