TOM GEHRIG WORK SELECTED FOR THE NATIONALLY JURIED EXHIBIT, "BLUE"

​The O'Hanlon Center for the Arts' online exhibit, BLUE, is a stunning collection of work that utilizes the vast shades of blue as the predominate color. This nationally juried show includes mediums of all kinds, including sculpture and the spoken word.

Tom Gehrig's work, An Attempt To Send A Weather Balloon To Orion From Southwest Farallon Island, was selected for the exhibit. Measuring 12" x 32", this mixed media oil painting connects the heavens and the earth through the intrigue of a weather balloon floating towards the constellation Orion. Cartography and other forms of mapping are literally and metaphorically featured, including a vignette in the lower panel that depicts the weather balloon en route to its destination juxtaposed to a surface map of the Farallon Islands, which are located off the coast of San Francisco, California.
