You're invited to a special artist event Friday July 17th, from 5 – 8pm.

High Desert Gallery is honored to present “Imaginary Landscapes,” a new series of original paintings and fine art giclees by Oregon artist Paul Alan Bennett. Drawn from imagined – and yet familiar – landscapes throughout the High Desert, Paul Alan Bennett works with his iconic style to transport the viewer to magical places.

“The rivers hint of such places as the Columbia River, the Snake and The John Day. The mountains suggest the Cascade Range, The Steens or those found in the high plateau areas of Southern Oregon or Nevada. The brilliance of the stars in the high desert sky are common to all these areas. They are like tiny mirrors sewn into the fabric of the night.

The central theme of all these works is made up of three parts: night sky, mountains and rivers. These act like three chords of music. The placement of boats, birds, trees, rocks, the moon and stars are the accent notes within those chord patterns. The eye is guided around by such accents. This serves to create a silent symphony of wonder and scale, similar to that found in the Romantic images of early American landscape painting.” -- Paul Alan Bennett, June 2009
