RICHARD ROYAL & DANNY PERKINS

Parallel

February 1 – 28, 2024

Champagne Reception: Saturday, February 3rd, 3-5pm

CONVERSATION WITH PERKINS & ROYAL, 4PM

FACILITATED BY ART ADVISOR, DENA RIGBY

“Parallel” is curated around the transformative effects of light on color. Perkins & Royal, longtime friends who met in the early days of Pilchuck Glass School, each explore and stretch the inherent qualities of their respective mediums. Perkins exploits the transparency and reflection achieved with the use of resin to increase the impact of his beautiful abstract color field paintings. Over the course of Royal’s glass career, he has mastered an ability to manipulate the formal characteristics of glass in order to emphasize the movement of light through shape and color.

“I’ve worked with glass for more than 40 years and this exhibition is a sampling of pieces over that period of time. I’ve always worked with intention and originality, creating objects that reflect my own personal vocabulary of techniques. I feel these pieces come from my authentic self, being mindful of the inherent qualities of glass and exhibiting those qualities in the best way I can.”  – Richard Royal
