Old Alcohol Plant Gallery to show three artists’ work

PORT HADLOCK — The Old Alcohol Plant Gallery will host three artists in a new exhibit, “Action/Color” with an opening slated for 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The gallery is at 310 Hadlock Bay Road.

The three artists “create artwork that conveys a sense of activity with distinctive color palettes and unique imagery,” organizers said.

Peter Juvonen and Stephen Yates use various types of brushwork and Harold Nelson uses layers of collaged photographs. Nelson and Yates live in Port Townsend and Juvonen lives in Port Orchard.

Nelson spent 32 years of his life working as a U.S. civil servant, the past 17 years in Washington, D.C.

During that same time, he worked on art in isolation and except for a small photography show in California in 1983 did not exhibit any art to the public.

From haunting the numerous art museums all those years in the D.C. area he was able to obtain a self-guided education that has proved invaluable to his development as an artist.

In 2005, Nelson retired from his life in the bureaucracy and moved to Port Townsend. He spent much more time working on art and submitted pieces to his first juried show in 2008.

Yates has an extensive exhibition history, having participated in over 130 group exhibits and more than 30 solo exhibits.

He has received several awards including an Artist Trust Fellowship, an Art Matters Award, a National Endowment for the Arts-WESTAF Collectors Project Award and a Centrum Residency.

His work is in numerous public and private collections.

Juvonen, a painter for 35 years, is a multi-disciplined artist and is recognized for his conceptual abstract style, according to his biography.

Juvonen’s art is included in major corporate and private collections in the Pacific Northwest, including Microsoft, Boeing, SAFCO at Tacoma Art Museum, Seattle Arts Commission, Hyatt Hotels, Seattle City Light, Swedish Hospital and the Washington States Arts Commission.
