“Satsumas on the Moon,” a collection of abstract paintings by local artist Andrew C.M. Lorish, will be on display at Central Oregon Community College’s Barber Library Rotunda Gallery from March 23 to June 10, with a reception from 4-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 2. The exhibition is free and open to the public. For Rotunda Gallery hours of operation, visit cocc.edu/library.
The paintings on panel are a deep exploration of color, formal abstractions that are inspired by a world focused on the future, yet struggling with self-awareness, according to the artist. Originally from Eugene, Lorish is currently a senior instructor of art and art, media and technology at Oregon State University-Cascades, and is a former COCC art instructor.
Lorish studied print media at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received an MFA in visual studies from the Pacific Northwest College of Art. Selected exhibitions include Scalehouse Gallery in Bend, False Front Gallery in Portland and Rockerill in Charleroi, Belgium.
