I've finished the tentative layout of Round Bend's newest publication-in-progress, a look at recent paintings on ceramic by Portland artist Charles Lucas.We've settled on a title--Ubiquitous Serpentine--which represents the body of the work and adheres to the painter's determination to reflect Nature by avoiding straight lines in his compositions.
"The straight line is a human invention," says Lucas. "Nothing in Nature has that kind of rigidness--everything is serpentine. I've attempted to capture that feeling in these paintings."
Lucas, a noted mosaic artist and sculptor, has created many ceramic mosaics for the McMenamins' pub and brewery chain.
Look for an early November release.
