ABSTRACT NORTHWEST LANDSCAPES AT LISA HARRIS GALLERY


                Seattle.  Lisa Harris Gallery presents RE: scape, landscapes in oil by Seattle-area painter Christine Sharp July 5 – 


29. The reception for the artist will be held Second Thursday, July 11, 6:00 to 8:00 pm, when the Gallery and other Seattle


Art Dealers Association members host the July Gallery Walk.  Sharp re-envisions and effectively parses the natural world, 


translating scenes into vibrant swaths of color and fragmented shapes, all harmoniously blended.




              RE: scape revels in representational scenes that dissolve into abstract, interlocking forms upon closer view. By 


bridging abstraction and representation Sharp affords the viewer continually shifting perspectives on familiar places. The 


artist says, “By taking an image apart and reconstructing it differently, I find new truth in a landscape I have seen many 


times before.”

              


              Christine Sharp holds degrees from the University of Washington and Bradley University in Illinois.  Before 


embarking upon her painting full time, Sharp produced news and investigative broadcasts for CNN. Her documentary work


has been recognized with several awards including a Gold Medal at the New York Film Festival and the George Foster


Peabody Award. She was recently honored with Signature Status in the Northwest Watercolor Society. This is the artist’s 


first solo exhibition at Lisa Harris Gallery.  ***End
