"The Urban Landscape" in Sonora
Stop by any number of art galleries and you'll likely find they all have one thing in common: Most display landscapes in one form or the other. During the month of September the Vault Art Gallery makes a point of showing off the landscape.
"Since landscapes are the most common subject matter in the gallery we see them in the Vault constantly," said a recent press release from the gallery. "One can have too much of a good thing."
"The Urban Landscape" showcases paintings from various artists with man-made landscapes as the subject matter. Cityscapes, lumber mills, dockyards and vehicles adorn the walls of the Vault.
Among the artists' whose works are being displayed are Charles Waldman, Kathleen Dunphy, Matthew Goss and William Wray. Wray will be known to fans for his work on the "Ren and Stimpy Show," "Mad Magazine" and Mike Mignola's "Hellboy Jr."
Details
When: Today through September 28. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days a week.
