David Ridgway at Waterworks
Posted June 30, 2018 at 5:49 am by Tim Dustrude
Ruth Offen at WaterWorks invites you to meet David on Saturday…
Please join me in welcoming David Ridgway to the gallery on Saturday, June 30th from 11 to 1 pm. David will chat informally about what inspires his work and how he paints.
David has a unique approach with landscapes: he initially removes any signs of present day, like power lines or cell towers. Then, he simplifies the form and intensifies the color. His skies become heavy white rocks, gliding by a farm barnyard scene without the creatures that inhabit those spaces. Portrayed in rich velvety purples and reds, we now see a bunch of simplified forms that evoke a barnyard.
David is a self-taught artist, currently living in Bellingham, spending his time painting and traveling to places that inspire him. Waterworks Gallery, located at 315 Argyle Ave, Friday Harbor has represented his works for 18 years.
The gallery is open, Monday, Wednesday – Sunday, other times by request. www.waterworksgallery.com
