Artist demarcona’s summer exhibition in the Alexander Gallery opens Saturday, June 26, at Clackamas Community College. Her show, “Recent work by demarcona,” features abstract oil paintings.

The artist’s work is a practice in compositional problem solving, integrating color, line, texture and format. The paintings on windows rescued from early 20th century homes “reverberate with meaning and infuse the abstraction with much more than cold modernist theory,” according to an artist’s statement.

demarcona earned her master’s degree in applied linguistics at Stony Brook University and has studied studio art extensively.

An opening reception for demarcona will take place in the Alexander Gallery at CCC on Saturday, June 26, from noon to 2 p.m. The show continues through August 25. For more information, please call David Andersen, chair of the CCC Art Department, at 503-594-3035.
