[ART] There are some to whom the phrase "vanishing boundaries" likely means nothing more than the desired result of buying drinks for the opposite sex. These are the people who think a "Monet" is a seemingly attractive potential mate who, under closer inspection, turns out to be quite flawed. To the enlightened artists being featured in Viewpoints Gallery's "Luminosity" exhibit, vanishing boundaries has an entirely different meaning, and the only Monet worth mentioning is Claude. One of the original French Impressionist painters, Monet helped introduce the technique of placing light or dark colors with similar hues together to create a visually stunning effect. The result is a literal vanishing of the boundaries between the colors, making them appear to glow. Richard Nelson, a local artist and teacher, studied this phenomenon at Yale under Josef Albers, a pioneer in the study of the interaction of colors. On Saturday, Nelson and seven others—Douglas Chun, Alejandro Goya, Kari McCarthy, Joelle Perz, Robena, John Shoemaker, and Sally Worcester—will be on hand for a symposium from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. (reservations required), followed by an opening reception at 6 p.m. to discuss their works (which include prints and blown glass, as well as paintings) and educate the public about the visual gift of color. Just think—after this exhibit, your topics of conversation will include more than your conviction that the new Budweiser with ginseng, caffeine, and guarana is healthier than milk. The Luminosity Exhibit runs June 1-28. Viewpoints Gallery is located at 3620 Baldwin Ave. in Makawao. For info, call 572-5979. Shown: "Salt Spring Recollection" by Dick Nelson. [COREY NIELSEN]
