Polly Plumb Productions is proud to present a one-man art show, Charles Swank: A Retrospective, 50 Years Exploring Inner Worlds, at the Yachats Commons on Presidents Day weekend February 15, 16.
Swank, with an MFA from Yale, has exhibited widely in Boston, New York, San Diego and beyond, but never in Oregon. A reclusive spiritual man, Swank has resisted showing his work in recent years. It is only with the gentle support and prodding of an old friend and Yachats resident, “Dangerous” Dan Stein, that we get to enjoy his work.
Most of the paintings at the show are large abstract acrylics, often in geometric patterns that pull the viewer inward. You don’t have to be a mystic to enjoy or understand them. They are flat out beautiful and fun.
As a gift from the artist, all guests will be able to take home a small original piece of his work at no charge. Your choice of a small card, a bookmark, or a square foot of certain large paintings that you can cut out yourself! Plus, at the artist’s request, all paintings will be offered for sale on a sliding scale.
Free 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday Feb. 15 & 16.
Yachats Commons 441 Hwy. 101 Pollyplumb.org
