Fenario Gallery is proud to present the solo exhibit of former Oregon resident, Steven Lopez for September 2008. The show will feature over 25 paintings as well as a mural installation funded by the Lane Arts Council.

Based in Eugene Oregon, the Fenario gallery is an ever-evolving space conceptualized as a safe haven for new ideas, fresh perspectives, and art that doesn’t simply rely on the lessons of the past, but moves forward. Examples of this philosophy have included internationally renowned artists, Mark Hanson and Robert Venosa. Lopez stated, “ I feel honored to be part of an ever growing list of talented individuals to show at Fenario”.

Gallery coordinator, Chloe Gallagher said, “Steven has made a large and lasting impression on the Eugene art community and we at Fenario are very excited to have him back in town”. Lopez was instrumental in leading the 2000 Lane Arts Council project ArtWall, in which he mentored and guided a group of local youths in the design and execution of a downtown mural.

The opening reception will be on September 5th. The reception will act as the grand unveiling of Steven’s publicly funded installation piece, and will feature a performance by premier North West DJ Matt Nelkin, as well as refreshments and a question and answer session with the artist. On September 9th we will also be hosting a public forum about the importance of public art and Steven’s continued work with youth through art since his involvement in the ArtWall project.
