It's ART season here in Seattle! The inaugural Seattle Art Fair opens this evening with a preview party at the  CenturyLink Field Event Center (WaMu Theater), and the fair runs through Sunday, Aug 2nd.   This means a jam packed weekend for art lovers awaits with numerous art happenings coinciding with this main event. Too many to mention here so I am including a link at the bottom of this post.   In conjunction with the fair I will have new work on display for this weekend only at the Hall Spassov Gallery  in Seattle. Below are the images that will be up from Friday thru Sunday only (July 31 - Aug 2).  Codex - encaustic, shellac,oil - 24 x 48 Blue Tide - encaustic, shellac,oil - 24 x 48 Wanderer - encaustic, shellac,oil - 24 x 48 Courageous - encaustic, shellac,oil -48 x 24 Fair Dates/Hours/Locations/Satellite Events: Click Here to see the listings in The Stranger

The Pleasure Is All Mine - Troy Gua - Acrylic and resin on canvas, 2009, 48 x 48 Artist Troy Gua Solea by Ken Susynski  -2009 oil on canvas- 32" x 38" Artist Kenneth Susynski I am honored to be part of a three person show that opened at the Alexis Hotel this month. I am exhibiting work along with two amazing northwest artists, Troy Gua and Kenneth Susynski. Gua’s work features big graphic portraits in a punchy pop art style done in acrylic and resign. Susynski has a style that is more abstract with a vibrant energy and engaging compositions. I also have four encaustic pieces featured in this show that will be on display now thru August 3rd, 2010.  Here’s the press release for this exhibit: SEATTLE — (March 31, 2010) — The Alexis Hotel’s signature “Gallery Art Walk” will spotlight a new installation beginning Thursday, April 1, featuring three distinct local artists. The display features pop culture-inspired works by Troy Gua, gestural abstractions by Kenneth Susynsk...

Last Thursday was the downtown Seattle Art Walk. The dry, mid summer evening was perfect for taking in the local art scene. In the above photo, ceramic artist, Carol Gouthro, stands next to her piece titled Ripe #14. On display as part of a group show at the Pacini Lubel Gallery Scroll down to see additional images of Carol's work. This group show features work from many of the gallery's amazing artists and I am humbled by the level of talent and quality of work represented. Here are some highlights from the evening...
