Cork Wine Pub presents “Visceral,” an exhibition of mixed media anatomical paintings by Ferndale artist Lindsey Harnish from September 1- September 28 with a reception on September 10. Five new works and a retrospective of paintings compile an ongoing exploration of death, birth and transition.

The Sip and See Reception on Wednesday, September 10, 4 - 10pm will give visitors a chance to meet and talk with the artist. This official debut features a happy hour all night with five dollar glasses of wine and specials on beer and small plates.

“Visceral” honors the shift into the autumn season with paintings exploring death as it contributes to new life and vitality. As trees and ground will soon be laid bare in the passing season, so these paintings celebrate the bareness of bones with the transformation of time. These works incorporate anatomical elements to delve into the subtler nuances of human existence, exploring themes of secrecy and transparency, solitude and companionship. “’Visceral’ is about the elemental essence of things, that primal sense in the guts that cannot be logically quantified or reasoned,” Harnish comments. “The latest paintings prod at the heart of the matter or ‘getting down to the bones, so to speak.’”
