Froelick Gallery Exhibits Local Artist Laurie Danial and Celebrates its 29th Anniversary with a Group Show

LAURIE DANIAL Before My Very Eyes
On view now through November 30, 2024

FROELICK GALLERY is pleased to present Laurie Danial’s latest body of work, Before My Very Eyes featuring new paintings and framed works on paper. Laurie Danial is known for her loose, gestural, abstract paintings and experimental practice. Starting new work comes naturally for Laurie, it’s the process, the “wrangling” that defines the work. As a painting develops, she describes the next discovery as “another rabbit hole to explore” – one mark leading to the next. It’s in the making that she filters through her day-to-day inspirations like her latest obsession with triangles, odd geometrical shapes, and moments of symmetry and repetition. Before My Very Eyes is an exhibition of spontaneous elements, captivating encounters, and harmonious conclusions.

Laurie Danial received her art education from the Pacific Northwest College of Art and Portland State University. She has been featured in numerous solo and group shows regionally and nationally since 1991, including at the G. Gibson Gallery (Seattle, WA), Portland Art Museum, Oregon Center for Contemporary Art (Portland, OR), Schneider Museum (Ashland, OR), University of Oregon (Eugene, OR).
