Two Santa Barbara artists, Dane Goodman and Marie Schoeff, are being featured at Partners Gallery from May 7 to June 8.
Between Ordinary - Marie Schoeff Schoeff’s monoprints on paper combine relief and drypoint techniques to create singular prints. Layering archetypal spherical shapes with raw linear marks offers a spectrum of interpretations. With Schoeff’s minimal use of elements, color speaks first, setting an ethereal tone.Commoners – Dane GoodmanGoodman’s work often uses common materials, such as cereal bags, soap, and children’s art supplies, along with low-tech processes. He sees these overlooked materials as having creative potential and relatability. This approach lends itself to an inherent democratic sensibility in what he makes.
There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artists May 9th from 5-7 pm.
Hours are Thursday - Monday, 11 am to 4 pm
