MISSION STATEMENT
After years of promoting the American art scene, Compound Gallery has realized that something is missing... independent and underground Japanese artists have no voice here and we want to change that. Each time we travel to Japan, we meet more of these exceptional artists, and are impressed by their innovative, fresh ideas. At the same time, the American art scene is hungry for new and original artists to follow. It is time to expose the American audience to Japanese artworks. It is time to bring together the American art collector and the Japanese artist. This is our goal at Compound Gallery.

Tide, Sap & Breath: Evan B. Harris & Katy Horan

March 01 - 30 2007

Reception: March 01 @ 7pm

The changing patterns of the tides. With the alternate rising and falling of the sea. Rains came then swept away. The bird in the bee's hive.

Sap & Seed, root to tree. Beneath their branches city's fell. With wounded wing. And felt the bitter bite of wolves' teeth.

Now all is ash and gray... with no breath to breathe.

EVAN B. HARRIS
EVANBHARRIS.COM
Born among the briars & brambles in backwoods of Medford, Oregon, Evan Benjamin Harris grew up with little knowledge of the bourgeois big city fine arts. So, he dove into the recesses of his own imagination and embraced the fables and folklore that fascinated him. With little to do but draw, he did exactly that. Now older, things haven't changed much. The stories he created as a child are still present in his paintings. With diligence and hard work, Evan's crude stick figures became the more clearly defined images you see today. With no formal art training, he creates on his own terms.

Broken boards, oil and acrylic paints, charcoal pastels, plastic resign, and melted waxes are among the mediums Evan uses. Then they are beaten, brushed, sanded, polished, and hung.

Most would cringe at the idea of scratching or sanding something they spent hours upon hours painting, but that's Evan's favorite part- creating the appearance that this wasn't made in the 21st century, maybe in the 20th. So, behind every scratch and claw mark, there is a story to tell.

Katy Horan
KATYART.COM
Katy Horan's paintings and drawings are the result of seeing too many fantasy films during her childhood along with a tendency to like things that are "witchy". In more sophisticated terms, she depicts scenes of pagan magic and ritual to recapture some of the mysticism that the world around her has lost. Originally from Texas, Katy has lived in 5 different cities and intends to move again soon in order to pursue her MFA in Fine Arts. Since receiving her BFA in 2003, she has shown her work in LA, NY, San Francisco and Kentucky.
