AXIS Pioneer Square - "Parallels" by Tracy Boyd & Tatjana Pavicevic. Gallery AXIS presents two artists with very distinct
styles who’ve come together to explore the struggles of society and how
they parallel with the internal struggles of the individual.
Characterized by motion and her use of reclaimed tarps, Tracy Boyd's
life-sized paintings come alive. Her large, colorful animals symbolizing
social domination contrast with Tatjana Pavicevic's intimate graphite
drawings. Pavicevic's monochromatic work creates a sense of self-inquiry
and explores subjective experiences and their parallels in the external
world.
Flatcolor Gallery - "Exhauster/Compessor" by Joe Nix. A new series of realistic paintings in oils and in larger scale with spray paint; focused on documenting one of Seattle’s most recognizable landmarks from one of its lesser known vantage points. Step into the mechanical guts and inner-workings of Seattle’s Gas Works Park and explore the intricate pipework and abandoned machinery inside one of Seattle most iconic locations. Brightly colored pipes and colossal machine-works merge to create elaborately shadowed layers for Nix’s realistic compositions.
Greg Kucera Gallery - "Ink on Paper" by Chris Engman
OK Gallery - "Divine Mania" (artist Francisco D) featuring over twenty paintings from 2008-2014 including abstract expressionist works, realist figurative portraits, a mixture of the two styles, as well as framed digital paintings. Also featured at the show will be artists Buddy Austin, Danny White, and Jason Bauer.
Roq la Rue - "La Dance Macabre" by Camilla Rose Garcia and "Fire in the Maproom" by Peter Ferguson. We are thrilled to
welcome Pop Surealist superstar Camille Rose Garcia back to the gallery
with a solo show, as well as our represented artist and rising star
Peter Ferguson. It's difficult to acquire originals by either artist so
let us know if you'd like to be on the buyer's preview. Flatcolor Gallery - "Exhauster/Compessor" by Joe Nix.

SOIL - "Meanderboard" alludes to the Greek Key pattern used to describe a basic Labyrinth- the “up, right, down, left” pattern that repeats onto itself; a system that can be applied to ones own faceted identity. Local artist Allyce Wood and Danish artist Diana Lindbjerg use video, photography, and work on paper to describe concepts of persona and representation. Metaphorical imagery, documentations, and alternative portraits examine the range of truths and inconsistencies ever-present in the collective consciousness.
Trabant Coffee/Laika Lounge - "Anatomy & Analogy" featuring Braden Duncan, Larkin, Morbid Anatomy, Rachel Setzer, Ronnie Taylor, Sara Baumgart & Yvette Endrijautzki. The "Anatomy & Analogy" theme reflects how our bodies, both internal and external, can affect and be affected by both physical and ephemeral elements.

Georgetown Arts & Cultural Centre - "Contemporary Myths" by Seb Barnett. "I am very excited about this show, I've been painting a lot, and I'm very excited to share paintings, drawings, and woodblock prints with you. I really hope you will come and see what I've been working on in person. It would mean a lot to me to see you all there!" - Seb
Georgetown Liquor Company - "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And We Feel Adorable)" featuring HappyTime Apocalypse! HappyTime Apocalypse is an art collective that celebrates the balance of dark and light, good and evil, happy and horrified. We aim to create an artistic escape from the horrors of the world that surround us by bringing attention to the humor and beauty within the maddening and grotesque parts of the human experience, illuminating the opposing forces of humanity within us all.
Krab Jab Studios - "A Peculiar Alchemy" by Norman & Tory Taber. They have been working together for twenty years as illustrators, coming together for many projects to join skills, occasionally handing paintings back and forth between them to achieve the desired result. However, for much of the work in this show, Tory and Norman Taber Illustration have diverged onto separate paths, exploring a variety of personal media and techniques; Painting, Digital imaging and constructions. Despite this divergence, their process has become entwined; the result becomes evident in style, subject, and content despite the variation and independence in technique. Similar topics themes appear born of an art process based in storytelling. This body of work can be viewed in terms of how one seemingly disparate work may inform another as much as it is about any singular image. The results are a product of a peculiar alchemy. Tory Taber will be discussing their body of work at 7:30pm.
LxWxH Gallery - "a•nas•to•mo•sis" by Claire Johnson. Johnson explores contour, pattern, and color formed either by nature or human intervention across the earth's surface. In past work, she has explored themes heavily related to the blood of the human body. The connection to this past investigation is tied to these landscapes in the similarities between the branching systems of blood vessels, roads, and river-pathways; linking distant parts or places aren't obviously connected at first glance.
LxWxH Subscription Project - "An Immaterial Box" featuring Dylan Neuwirth, Jeff Gerber, and Greg Lundgren
Also check out new work at 9lb Hammer, Artcore Tattoo, Belle & Whissel, Fantagraphics Bookstore, Georgetown Trailer Park Mall, Nautilus Studios, Smarty Pants, Totally Blown Glassworks, Two Tartes Cafe, Wax Expressions, and more!

| "Up Every Evening" @ SEASON |
"Up Every Evening" at SEASON, Sunday, 27 April from 2-5pm. Featuring Andy Wauman, Dylan Neuwirth & Laylah Ali. There is a poison in me. It scratches at my fingertips and chokes the back of my throat. It rides my thoughts and every action with a silent anger and it wants out. It is a rage that sees destruction as a means to rebuilding. Within the space of one second it wipes out this world while it makes a new one begin. I look at you and force myself to smile a little, in my mind I see you collapse and vanish along with everyone and everything. I have no heart, no lungs; my chest is so tight I can only mouth breath. The few muscles I have left will close my eyes but sleep is impossible. I go candy playing and I go rainbow chasing and I beg tomorrow to serve me better.
ONGOING:
The SAAM is featuring "A Fuller View of China, Japan & Korea." The exhibition runs through 13 April 2014. Dr. Richard Fuller’s 40 years as the museum’s founding director are the bedrock of its history, and his passion for art resonates with collectors of his time and beyond. In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Seattle Art Museum, this installation shows how Dr. Fuller, his family and friends, and several more recent Seattle collectors, built SAM’s celebrated Asian art collections. Featuring some of SAM’s best-loved works such as the Poem Scroll with Deer, the installation showcases the incredible quality and diversity that make SAM’s Asian art collection one of the finest in the country. The selected Chinese paintings and calligraphy also celebrate the launch of an innovative online scholarly catalogue, a multi-year project sponsored by the J. Paul Getty Foundation.

| Miro @ SAM |
The SAM is currently featuring a multitude of exhibits! Check out:
"Miro: The Experience of Seeing." Through 26 May. This exhibition, drawn entirely from the collection of the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, offers a fresh assessment of the late period in Miró’s work—a body of work that audiences in the United States have not had the opportunity to fully appreciate. The exhibition brings together over 50 paintings, drawings and sculptures made in the period between 1963 and 1981 that testify to the artist’s ingenuity and inventiveness to the very end of his life. Bold and colorful paintings employing his personal visual language alternate with near-abstract compositions. Although Miró had experimented with sculpture in earlier periods, it is only in the late years that painting and sculpture stand in direct dialogue with each other—a principal feature of this exhibition.
"Abstract Impulse" by Robert Davidson. Robert Davidson has been a pivotal figure in the Northwest Coast Native art renaissance since 1969, when he erected the first totem pole in his ancestral Massett village since the 1880s. For over 40 years he has mastered Haida art traditions by studying the great works of his great-grandfather Charles Edenshaw and others. More recently, Davidson has interjected his own interpretation of the old forms with forays into abstraction, explored in boldly minimalistic easel paintings, graphic works and sculpture, where images are pared to essential lines, elemental shapes and strong colors.
The exhibition will feature 45 paintings, sculptures and prints created since 2005, as well as key images from earlier in his career that show Davidson’s evolution toward an elemental language of form.
"From Abstract Expressionism to Coloured Planes." Early in the 1940s, artists in New York began to develop an expressive, abstract style of painting that was a stark departure from previous ideas, both artistically and historically. Up until World War II, the center of artistic production in the West had been Paris, and artists from around Europe, the United States and South America had flocked there to study and to work. This changed profoundly in the 1940s. Featuring Arshile Gorky, Hans Hoffman, Jackson Pollack, and Lee Krasner.

The Henry Art Gallery is currently hosting "The Bikeriders" in the North Galleries, photographic work by Danny Lyon. During the 1960s and 1970s several photographers, including Diane Arbus, Larry Clark, and Susan Meiselas, documented life on the fringes of society, providing a glimpse of counterculture from the inside out. These images were often published as narrative sequences in books that told complex stories in multiple pictures. In the early 1960s Danny Lyon (U.S., born 1942) joined the Chicago Outlaw Motorcycle Club and began photographing his fellow Hell’s Angels while traveling with the club on his 650cc Triumph motorcycle. The result was one of the seminal photographic essays of his generation, and the 1968 publication The Bikeriders that contained over 50 photographs and interviews with Lyon’s subjects. (from www.henryart.org) Show runs thru 4 May.
With this
much going on, you couldn't possibly complain that there's nothing to do in
Seattle!
Support your
local art scene! Cheers.
