For the month of June Aurora Gallery will be featuring original collages by artist Sharon Nelson. She constructs her collages with hand painted pieces of paper, found objects, and adding embellished designs. Nelson works to create her collages by adding, subtracting, positioning, and rearranging until she is satisfied with the composition.

The opening will be on June 7th, 2019 from 5-9pm for First Friday Art Walk. Join us at Aurora Gallery to meet the artist and learn more about her collage processes.

John Kay will be the featured artist for the month of May showcasing his series titled: “From Barcelona to Portland Urban Works”. John is an artist that focuses on bridging the gap between photography and fine art in a new unique way. After several years of darkroom black and white photography, John decided to incorporate colorful torn posters to create decollages. The abandoned left-for-dead fragments of posters come together as one piece, only subtracting and adding nothing. They are meant to represent the process of living, dying and transformation.

A couple of weeks ago Aurora Gallery hosted a one day only Tea Bag Pop-Up Shop. We received 67 pieces of teabag art from 24 different artists. Because of the popularity of the show, we have decided to extend the show and hang the teabag art pieces in the galleries hallway. The extended show will deput on June 7th, 2019 for June’s First Friday Art Walk.
