New exhibit at Roby King Gallery features whimsical paintings

The new exhibit at Roby King Gallery will feature acrylic-on-canvas paintings by artist Anne Schreivogl.

Schreivogl, an Anacortes artist, recently completing her first museum solo exhibition at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. In the February show at Roby King Gallery, she will present colorful, whimsical and spirited acrylic paintings.

“With my art I seek to transmit the joy I see and feel in everyday moments onto canvas. Birds perched on wires, ‘chicks’ with sticks knitting away, and jazz musicians are common motifs,” the artist explained. “My last name ‘Schreivogl’ means ‘screeching bird,’ and birds often find their way into my art.”

Also at the Winslow gallery, Bird Assemblages by Robert Schlegel.

Schlegel, a painter, also likes to explore three-dimensional forms. Using paper, wire, string, and fabric, he sculpts “gestures” capturing the posture and singular characteristics of birds.

The exhibits open on First Friday, Feb. 1. An artists’ reception is 6 to 8 p.m.

Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Roby King Gallery is at 176 Winslow Way East.
