A solo exhibition of recent mixed media pieces titled Roadside Distractions by Eric Engstrom will run from August 22nd through September 21st 2008 at ArtBrokers Gallery, 2660 Bridgeway, Sausalito, CA (415 332 2660).
The opening reception will be held on Friday, September 22nd from 5 pm to 8 pm.
Featuring new views from America's secondary roads, the exhibition references commonplace vernacular buildings and ordinary landscapes converted to emphasize the extraordinary beauty in the details and images. Eric relives the classic American road trip and preserves moments in time through his images.
Born too late to go "On The Road" with Jack Keruoac but old enough to appreciate Easy Rider, and the writings of William Least Heat Moon, John Steinbeck, and Larry McMurtry, his visions of America also owe much to the photographs of Robert Frank and Michael Eastman.
Limited edition giclee art prints of Engstrom's work can be viewed and are available at www.artbrokersinc.com
