BRUCE MAYO | ENJOY THE HUE
ON VIEW: AUGUST 3-SEPTEMBER 1, 2018
Enjoy The Hue is a solo exhibition, spanning both floors of the gallery, of work by artist Bruce Mayo of Hallowell. Enjoy the Hue marks Bruce Mayo’s 30 year anniversary of creating whimsical, ethereal, playful art with a twist. Acrylic, watercolor, and inks are used to create mystical images revolving around musicians, pups, portraits, fish, landscapes and more. Since his first official public art showing in 1988 at Slates Restaurant Mayo has remained very prolific. He is constantly inspired by his surroundings; including frequent trips to Rangely and especially by his home town of Hallowell. The exhibition features no shortage of color and spirit as Mayo’s vibrant artwork covers both floors of The Harlow. Mayo has dedicated the exhibition to his late Grandmother Jeanette, “whose easel in the spare bedroom always had a painting on it when I visited”, he said.
