Kaua'i, Hawaii - g a l e r i e  1 0 3  presents early paintings and constructions by Kauai's beloved artist  Doug Britt. Britt inspires the child in all of us, creating meaningful work in construction, painting and collage that, is anything but childlike. This personal work spanning  thirty years includes small and large format mixed media on cardboard and canvas; presented to the public for the first time. On view through 25 September.

Doug Britt attended San Francisco Art Institute, where he received a bachelor’s degree in art in 1979, returning to the islands and settling on the north shore of Kaua'i.

Of his early paintings included in the exhibit, Britt states,  “Far away from the influence of the art world, I picked up my art school green and cardboard and went to work living in my Hawaiian bubble. The square formats of cardboard and cubed images were employed to canvas.

Continuing to explore my art, I was now  fueled by my island surroundings and the time of rapid change in Haena, which inspired my flow of expression.”
