It has been 100 years since Picasso and Braque invented the technique of collage. In more contemporary times the technique has degenerated to either warmed-up Kurt Schwitters or to bizarre and often comical combinations of surrealistic imagery, which tend to be more gimmicky than artistic. Notable exceptions have been the works of Robert Rauschenberg and Romare Bearden.
Evan Clayton Horback, a relative newcomer to Olympia, has made the technique special again - art with integrity and class, art that is more Rauschenbergian and Schwitters, yet uniquely Horback. That's what good artists do.
"EVAN CLAYTON HORBACK: MARGINALS & MYSTICS," 2-6 p.m. Thursday-Sunday, through Oct. 26, Salon Refu 114 N. Capitol Way, Olympia, info@salonrefu.com.
