The Island Gallery will present the exhibit “Architect As Artist,” featuring Warren Pollock and Jeffrey Hummel in November.

The show opens during the First Friday Artwalk, with an artists’ reception, from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2.

The exhibition is the first in a series.

In a series of shows, the gallery seeks to explore the creative opportunities provided by the mix of art and architecture. In this first show, two Northwest practitioners — both Bainbridge Island residents — illustrate the synergies of art and architecture and provide some insight into how it works.

Pollock has recently retired after more than 30 years of designing and building residential, commercial and art-related structures in the

United States and around the world.

Hummel, whose architectural firm is located in Seattle, is involved in residential, commercial, retail and development projects in the Northwest and Hawaii.

Art has been an integral part of each architect’s life. Pollock reports that he sketched and drew from an early age and learned perspective drawing when he was 7. The sketches he has placed in this show illustrate the “pull of the pen,” to draw your eye, and your mind, to that yet unseen point just around the bend.

Hummel also reports a long love of art, as well as architecture. An award-winning photographer, his work focuses on the essential elements of larger structures, their pattern, texture and rhythm, and the play of light upon those elements.

Additionally, both artists have worked with wood for many years and have created several furniture pieces for The Island Gallery show.

The Island Gallery is at 400 Winslow Way East, Suite 120.

The gallery is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.
