Garbriel Marquez
EdCC Art Gallery
Edmonds Community College
Lynnwood Hall, 20000 68th Ave. W.
Edmonds Community College’s art gallery features “Intersecting Parallels” by Gabriel Marquez this fall.
The exhibit, running through Dec. 8, is described as “a crossroad from black and white schemes into more experimental depths of color keeping in line with the monochromatic order. It’s a timeline of past and present works that are in the process of a metamorphosis for the next phases of Marquez’ work.
“Known for his intricate line drawings of fantastically surreal beings and dreamscapes, Marquez often works intuitively and allows the markings he creates to bring about the final outcome of the composition’s imagery.”
