Seattle Art...

Today I took a little break from work and went to the Seattle Art Museum.  It was closed. 

I did go into an art gallery across the street that I had noticed on previous trips while on my early morning jogs.  I never had the time to go in.  Today I did.  I am really glad I did.  I spent quite some time talking to the gallery owner - Patricia Rovzar.  I saw several pieces i really liked.

This is "It's A Jungle Out There".  It's a sort of 3D hanging sculpture in copper, enamel, wood, mixed media.  The artist is Morgan Brig.

This next couple of pieces are by another Northwest artist, Thomas Anderson.  The materials he uses are often found or recycled metals, i.e. copper, aluminum, steel or brass. He applies specific chemical formulas and patinas to create a variety of color and texture, which become a "canvas" for the addition of other elements i.e. gold leaf, pastel, graphite, and varnishes.

 

These next couple also really caught my eye.  They are by Jerri Lisk.  She paints on aluminum.  I really like the simple but not crude figures.  I like that they are of trees.

Finally.  Patricia the curator pulled out this one out of the back.  She will be hanging several of this artist's, Michael Schlicting, pieces in a show starting this week.  I really liked it.

Maybe I need one of these for my new condo?
