During the month of January, the Kent Public Library will host an art exhibit In Memory of Donald Longabucco, 1939 – 2019.
Don Longabucco explored many different types of artistic techniques over the years. His work started with figurative oil paintings and watercolors, then changed to abstracts, and finally to paper collages. His meticulously cut out small pieces of paper create a riot of disconnected color at first sight, but actually require concentration and quiet as the viewer peers at individual pieces and paths within the total work. He built each collage organically as he worked.
Mr. Longabucco was among the founding members of Arts on the Lake and was part of the Visual Arts Committee, setting up and participating in the two shows presented at AotL each year.
