Local artists will discuss the evolution of their art over the years and present digital photos of their work at a new monthly Art Salon held on the last Sunday of every month at 2 p.m. at the Ashland Library. Learn about the work of artist Gabriel Mark Lipper in November.

Gabriel Mark Lipper’s paintings explore themes of energy, wealth, and ambition. His paintings ask open-ended questions about the viewers’ relationship to the painted narratives. An emphasis on technique and application of paint serve as a classical anchor for his otherwise often disconnected contemporary subjects. This dualism is borne out of a fixation with craftsmanship and an exploratory fascination with the zealous excesses of the new millennium. Drawing on influences as diverse as Tolstoy, Fellini, and Eazy-E, Lipper continues his focused inquiry into our sociocultural evolution. Gabriel Mark Lipper currently lives and works in Ashland Oregon.  

The Art Salon is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library. For more information please call the Ashland Library at 541-774-6996.
