Vancouver, Wash. – An exhibition of Erika Bartlett’s artwork 7 Loves is on display at the Rebecca Anstine Gallery in the Clark County Public Service Center through August 2018.

The 7 loves: storge, philia, agape, ludus, eros, philautia and pragma, are ancient Greek concepts. Respectively, they describe the love between the family or parents and child, close friendship, the love for strangers and the greater community, playfulness and flirtation, sexual love, the love towards ourselves, and the cultivation of long term love.

Artist Erika Bartlett has created seven images and seven poems based on the 7 loves. The images are abstracted photographs of the sky, light, and other passing situations. The exhibition has a calm and meditative quality. Bartlett’s art practice focuses on art as a tool for health and wellness.

The Rebecca Anstine Gallery is named in honor of Rebecca Anstine, a local artist and founding curator of the public exhibit space in the Public Service Center. She served as a Clark County Arts Commission board member.

The Anstine Gallery is located in the Clark County Public Service Center sixth floor, 1300 Franklin St. The Anstine Gallery is open 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.
