Auburn: Art on Main Gallery Pete Goldlust Contact: Allison Hyde, Art Coordinator 253-804-5043 ahyde@auburnwa.gov<mailto:ahyde@auburnwa.gov> FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 10, 2018 ___________ The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present an exciting new installation by Pete Goldlust at Auburn's Art on Main window-front gallery, on view July 10th - September 23th, 2017. Goldlust has created a dynamic new installation titled "Skymonkey Encounter," including swirling, interlocking fields of whimsical cartoon-like imagery, reflecting playful metaphors for art and community. Plant forms morph into animals, architecture takes flight, in a piece that is colorful, bright, vibrant and uplifting. Goldlust's aim as a public artist is to work with communities to make their environments more engaging and beautiful, and to encourage the qualities of wonder, joy, and play. Drawing inspiration from sources such as early American scrimshaw, Japanese ceramics, Modernist European sculpture, as well as various contemporary artistic currents, the artist's work is characterized by a playful investigation of abstracted natural form.
