To capture this event we decided to create a book and show titled "<span style="font-style: italic;">Look Up Here</span>", filled with artists that we have worked with throughout the 5 years. Within the last 5 years we have curated shows in our gallery, we have produced satellite events, and we have worked with numerous amounts of other groups to co-curate shows. Needless to say we have been busy and we wanted to highlight some of the artists that have been with us over those years. Without the artists we would not have had the resources to keeping pushing the envelope and show the world what we have here in the great Northwest.</div><div><br /></div><div>So mark your calendars.

A self taught artist, he began drawing and painting at an early age. The artist started screen-printing at the age of 16 in his garage to make extra money and the experience led him into the field of commercial art. For over 25 years, Vblast honed his skills in the arena of independent graphic illustration. In 2001 the artist decided to leave the world of commercial art and devote himself entirely to his own work. The abstract art of Vblast has been exhibited in a variety of northwest galleries and venues as well as being part of numerous private collections across North America.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7OoM4GwxO1fHpGO95FKcq5P578S7nrl88HVTluuRYsFWw_HAeCFNegauGkhhYggNAUYYi3ieZ7TsX7ATVsseZ2lS7mKEukxchf-kpDQUVC9yl4x6aSXPuY0jmbxuNF90mRA9OUXLAHo/s1600/benedictionbherdpromo.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN7OoM4GwxO1fHpGO95FKcq5P578S7nrl88HVTluuRYsFWw_HAeCFNegauGkhhYggNAUYYi3ieZ7TsX7ATVsseZ2lS7mKEukxchf-kpDQUVC9yl4x6aSXPuY0jmbxuNF90mRA9OUXLAHo/s320/benedictionbherdpromo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5684242371449827522" border="0" /></a><br />“Benediction of the Benevolent Bovine”<br />11.5” x 7” x 8”<br />Welded Steel<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Artist's Statement</span><br />I have been painting for as long as I have been alive, and as long as I have been painting I have always been as fascinated by the process, as much as the end product. I have devoted myself to painting highly textured non-objective abstract works that I find a joy and a challenge to create. Each piece is its own epiphany and a stepping stone in this path I have taken. It is my desire to draw the viewer into the work emotionally as well as physically, to entice them to return to the image again and again.<br /><br />Please come out and visit the gallery, we're having an encore artist opening on Friday, December 9th from 6-9pm and will have the work up through Friday, December 23.

After a childhood of drawing on all the walls around, she relocated to Canada in her youth, spent some time in Toronto and now recently lives in Vancouver BC. College educated in graphic design and advertising and deeply influenced by graffiti aesthetics, Phresha's style can be described as vibrant, multi-layered, organic flows with sultry female forms, seductive, playful and sometimes scandalous. Phresha has worked with clients such as MTV, Vans Shoes, Curvy, DPi Magazine, Semi-Permanent and Smut. Her art has been featured in numerous galleries in North America, as well as featured in a documentary "Creative Violation - The rebel art of the Street Stencil" in 2007. Currently Phresha is focusing on gallery shows, commission work and sampling all the delicious sushi down the coast.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfaCXqDeD_qx1Hk42_TfL52p2Bl1SjJMkLQ-e4j3AypGu0I3r6ZrrliAWhX87rg8Dpd5hyblRQXIDBFjj8fEzJh27pzqL-fCKBW0jrM2B3dbI7IxbOWqKHuczsIsvWvAWUy0ZkDRMX_nQ/s1600/Phresha_Hope.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfaCXqDeD_qx1Hk42_TfL52p2Bl1SjJMkLQ-e4j3AypGu0I3r6ZrrliAWhX87rg8Dpd5hyblRQXIDBFjj8fEzJh27pzqL-fCKBW0jrM2B3dbI7IxbOWqKHuczsIsvWvAWUy0ZkDRMX_nQ/s320/Phresha_Hope.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683517205646023874" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Hope"<br />11" x 14"<br />Ink & Watercolor<br /><br /></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCSenBrQseKz5EaINFj3cfOPeinsjbomJEmhcRwit-Vih9PiPiBmI5j-dKnzG8wwwu1BiKXXx-fnReardKnL3NXraQkR_Tnoq0FHrcK1Hh2xWiGVL5FGVC57c_l_KP6rFs71pA0VDtck/s1600/Phresha-9.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCSenBrQseKz5EaINFj3cfOPeinsjbomJEmhcRwit-Vih9PiPiBmI5j-dKnzG8wwwu1BiKXXx-fnReardKnL3NXraQkR_Tnoq0FHrcK1Hh2xWiGVL5FGVC57c_l_KP6rFs71pA0VDtck/s320/Phresha-9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683510862504772786" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"presumptuously sumptuous"<br />(Prints available)</span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNsgQYk9nL3AWKdYERzbPCcF7cMerCRQeDYnv7A_1VnL0Mhcwt3UtupuKBOorDhorKNXKccgYseqlooErRYk1AXxOjG4pRCyNpXfP5-ZSDCAiuNGEuPZiiofpAzUL2b3bb4Sv1X6w7aLU/s1600/birthdaygirl.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 233px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNsgQYk9nL3AWKdYERzbPCcF7cMerCRQeDYnv7A_1VnL0Mhcwt3UtupuKBOorDhorKNXKccgYseqlooErRYk1AXxOjG4pRCyNpXfP5-ZSDCAiuNGEuPZiiofpAzUL2b3bb4Sv1X6w7aLU/s320/birthdaygirl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683510857871944146" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Birthday Girl"<br />8" x 10"<br />Hardboard Sublimation Print</span><br /><br /><br />Please stop by for the Encore Opening on Friday, December 9 from 6-10pm.

Anderst grew up fascinated with anatomy which she largely attributes to her dad's work as a ultrasound sonographer. She used to visit him at the hospital and pour over his anatomy books. She continued her passion for anatomy and has since then combined her artistic skills and scientific interest and earned her Certificate in Natural Science Illustration from the University of Washington in 2010. Anderst has exhibited in our gallery in past years and continues to be a favorite of ours. She moved back to Medford, Oregon (where she grew up) but we still think of her as a Seattlite and she will be coming up for the Encore Artist Opening on Friday, December 9th from 6-10pm.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDm4U6gEfJVQHU9IY-paQvIZ7R_PGRaM0ff1bVaMOqrVeoJXlo0qnTQxC9iiaViZaWY4HTmmAqXNv5-qNeUYXp8ytitng4LjqDgLzv80ggweX9k9rsqt-bmGWRPx9vIrFPEf7-dTy_IIo/s1600/Aortic+Petal+700x900.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDm4U6gEfJVQHU9IY-paQvIZ7R_PGRaM0ff1bVaMOqrVeoJXlo0qnTQxC9iiaViZaWY4HTmmAqXNv5-qNeUYXp8ytitng4LjqDgLzv80ggweX9k9rsqt-bmGWRPx9vIrFPEf7-dTy_IIo/s320/Aortic+Petal+700x900.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680923097084698050" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Aortic Petals"<br />8" x 10" oval<br />Oil on Canvas</span><br /><br /><br />With this series of work, Anderst melds flora with venous and bone anatomy to create an other-worldly feel. This unusual pairing when studied, becomes more familiar to the viewer, as you start to realize that Anderst is purposely coupling similarities between humans and nature. The venous attributes of human anatomy with venous structure of floral anatomy. Her paintings become a strange and beautiful statement on the interconnectedness of life on this planet.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2HWKBhCsQEu1KseHMK_9HUjJvQDLBQYghoZC_La-axLQZhj9_GUo-ZxaqQsXEE9-0c2dDeb8NTFdhQ2Sm9T5pU5-15qFBHODhj39ESCr_58VQPwBANgG1sUWogoxbKvOYjhOJtXff2E/s1600/Garcinia+Stomata+900x700.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2HWKBhCsQEu1KseHMK_9HUjJvQDLBQYghoZC_La-axLQZhj9_GUo-ZxaqQsXEE9-0c2dDeb8NTFdhQ2Sm9T5pU5-15qFBHODhj39ESCr_58VQPwBANgG1sUWogoxbKvOYjhOJtXff2E/s320/Garcinia+Stomata+900x700.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5680923090705483506" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">"Garcinia Stomata"<br />8" x 10" oval<br />Oil on Canvas</span><br /><br /><br />In the piece below, "Commelina Transistor", she takes it one step further and conjoins cellular anatomy and compares it to a mechanical computer board.

After a few years of lying low, representational art is back with a vengeance—artists are creating figurative work with passion and finesse, but now they’re adding their own unique twists. In a fitting gesture for these tumultuous times, the artists that were chosen for “Askew” create intense, layered imagery that challenges our perceptions of “normal” and makes us think twice about what’s real and what’s not. The work is sometimes dramatic and sometimes subtle, but it’s always well crafted and wonderful. “Askew” is curated by Seattle artists, Chris Sheridan & Kate Protage and features the contemporary works of: Yvette Endrijautzki, Carl Faulkner, Zanetka Gawronski, Larkin, Matthew Lewis, Aaron Jasinski, Spyder Peterka, AJ Power, Jim Stoccardo, James Walker, and Andrea Wicklund.<br /><br /><br

<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About the Exhibition:</span>
<br /><a href="http://www.cocaseattle.org/exhibitions.html#georgetown">CoCA</a> and <a href="http://www.bherdstudios.com/">Bherd Studios Gallery</a> are collaborating to bring attention to Pacific Northwest urban contemporary artists creating sanctioned murals and/or ephemeral work in public urban environments.
<br />
<br />(Un)Sanctioned will educate viewers about a commonly misunderstood and perceived "outsider" art community and begin a conversation about the controversial nature of street art. The show will also celebrate the diversity of the unique PNW street style aesthetic which tends towards a cooler color palette utilizing greens and blues; often incorporating natural elements indigenous to our area; and also giving nods to Native American line form drawing and Asian pop culture.
<br />
<br />Artists include:179, Carlos Aguilar & KSera, Zachary Bohnenkamp, CASH, Duffy, Jesse Edwards, Hera, David Joel, Jesse Link, John Osgood, Parskid and Sneke.

<br />We didn't want you to miss the final 2 weeks of the "Inc" exhibition, as it is one of the most unique shows we have had in our gallery. Seven artists literally transformed our gallery within 4 days preceding the opening by creating murals that integrated in with their hung artwork. The installations included not only canvas, but wood cut-outs and a larger-than-life plush worm and tree stumps!
<br />
<br />For those of you too far away to visit, here is a photo re-cap of the amazing work that Carlos Aguilar & Ksera; Zach Bohnenkamp & Sensei 23 of Matamuros; Weirdo; and Solace & John Osgood created for the show. And don't forget to check out the great article for the SeattlePI.com that Xavier wrote about the show "<a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlearts/2011/08/11/sometimes-the-game-changes-and-youre-left-in-awe-inc-show-at-bherd-studios/">Sometimes the Game Changes and You're Left in Awe...</a>"

Sheridan will be showing some of his latest work and will be available to answer questions and talk about the Seattle art scene. This is a great way to kick-off your 1st Thursday art walk and it's within easy walking distance of all the major art venues in Pioneer Square.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">About the Artist:</span><br />Chris Sheridan, originally from Cape Cod, MA, received his BFA from the Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota, FL and his MFA from The Academy of Art University in San Francisco, CA. Sheridan comes fresh on the heels of a recently featured video on VIMBY.com, a solo shows at Art Whino in Washington DC & Upper Playground's FIFTY24SEA gallery in Seattle, WA and shows in Finland and Monaco.<br /><br />Sheridan's work takes an in-depth look at magic and religion, their symbolism and ritual, how they played a role in building our early societies, and the disconnect between these theories and beliefs and contemporary modes of thinking. Deeply psychological, laced with multiple layers of meaning and references to the trickster archetype, the work also explores the manipulative quality found in us all. Also hidden in the work is the artist's search for the soul, which he believes is the construct that holds all of these ideas together in our collective unconscious.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alexis Hotel</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">1007 1st Avenue</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle, WA 98104</span>Bherd Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616167092880372200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451012247019576195.post-48179843919642309882011-06-30T16:46:00.000-07:002011-06-30T17:04:56.393-07:00Greg Plumis Photography: Opening at Gainsbourg, Fri.

The <span style="font-weight: bold;">art opening is Friday, July 8th from 6-9pm</span> (during the Phinneywood artwalk) and will be on display through August 5th.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />About the Artist:</span><br />Greg Plumis is a long-time photographer with a newly found focus: portraits. Raised by a large family – practically a Greek and Serbian village – in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood, Plumis has always valued company. This affinity for people naturally translates into his photography practice and allows him to capture subjects when they are comfortable, or naturally interacting with their environment. His love of socializing, of course, is only matched by his obsession with shooting film on old or toy cameras. If Greg had it his way, we’d never have progressed past the 4X5 camera – and our iPhones would only work with tripods. Be that as it may, for practical purposes, he splits his time between digital and film formats—sometimes even shooting Super 8, exercising his skill in both fine art and commercial projects. A soon to be graduate of the Commercial Photography program at Seattle Central’s Creative Academy, Plumis has experience shooting for editorial, corporate and nonprofit clients.<br /><br />For more information, or to contact Greg, visit: <a href="http://www.gregplumisphotography.com/">gregplumisphotography.com </a>Bherd Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616167092880372200noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451012247019576195.post-73543657067526598142011-06-23T16:43:00.000-07:002011-06-23T16:55:39.553-07:00Arts|West Gallery presents the Unplugged Challenge: June 28 - July 24<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoy03pz-WMirScUJwSZd9vt-EjX7sj05QFtz8SHTxv6ShxxKs2BpH2s6Vr_yHXtfEe70OrdtB334vi_9mS2gcfwriq2R8q0mOUUvQFbEvmgKIv13hYbvkUqKnBIOpkRxyGIkFbSATXwOg/s1600/unhappy+unplugged.tiff"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoy03pz-WMirScUJwSZd9vt-EjX7sj05QFtz8SHTxv6ShxxKs2BpH2s6Vr_yHXtfEe70OrdtB334vi_9mS2gcfwriq2R8q0mOUUvQFbEvmgKIv13hYbvkUqKnBIOpkRxyGIkFbSATXwOg/s320/unhappy+unplugged.tiff" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621565775582318530" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Unhappy Unplugged" by Susan Melrath</span></span><br /><br /><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span><span><span style="text-transform: uppercase;">eXHIBITION RUNs june 28<sup>th</sup> – july 24<sup>th</sup><span> </span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-size:130%;"><span><span><span style=""></span></span></span></span></p><div style="text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);"> </div><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left; color: rgb(204, 204, 204);" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span><span><span style="text-transform: uppercase;">aRTISTS’ RECEPTION on tHURSDAY, July 14, 6-7:30pm</span></span></span></span></p><br />One week: no news, no internet, no social network or texting. Featuring artists from the Arts|West’s Artists Association (AWAA) in the new gallery exhibition, Unplugged Challenge, this is a fascinating insight into America’s dependence on technology and telecommunication.<br /><br />“Unplug yourself!” was the request and challenge of Arts|West Gallery Director Nichole DeMent and co-curator Michele Osgood of Bherd Studios. Participating AWAA members had to unplug from TV, Internet, and text messaging for 1 full week. The result of this isolation experiment can be seen in the Unplugged Challenge in ArtsWest’s gallery from June 28 – July 24, 2011.<br /><br />In this age of rapidly expanding technology and telecommunications, we rely heavily on cell phones, computers, and television for pretty much everything. This is no exception for artists. While there are clear advantages to utilizing social media and websites to promote artwork, there are downfalls as well. Artists have obviously been creating and selling artwork well before the onset of current technology. But has technology changed us as a society so much that it’s now nearly impossible to create art without it?<br /><br />This generation’s contemporary artists have more technological tools at their disposal than any previous generation before them. The Unplugged Challenge shows the various interpretations from the artists’ experience and unveils intriguing insights on the plight of technology dependency. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Unplugged Seattle artists include Ben Brackin, Tracy Cilona & Crystal Fosnaugh as DameBuilder, Sarah Froyland, Marty Gordon, Ada McAllister, Susan Melrath, Cass Nevada, Patri O’Connor, John Osgood, Ken Paige, Patricia Ridenour, Stephen Rock, Chris Sheridan, Siolo Thompson, Marilyn VanCleave Ullin, Glenda Weibel, Dori Westphal, and Audrey Zemke.</span> The range of mediums varies from classic oil paintings to collage and mixed media to aerosol, and each artist brings their individual perspective on technology in the art world.<br /><br />The AWAA Unplugged Challenge will be on display at Arts|West Playhouse and Gallery from June 28 through July 24, 2011. Meet the artists on Thursday, July 14th for the opening reception from 6-7:30PM. This event is free and open to the public. Drinks and light refreshments will be served.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Gallery hours:</span> Tuesday - Saturday, 12-7 PMBherd Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616167092880372200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451012247019576195.post-77357668188122815762011-06-17T10:18:00.000-07:002011-06-17T10:29:34.165-07:00Chris Sheridan takes on the Other Washington!"Shadows, Persona, and Trickery"<br />The Solo Show of Chris Sheridan<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78iRlafjYL7Z-awrqM9TGL2FXUVmpj9WeMtBIx05sWMrcAO_khHKPwMDU1fQhULs61e35_Ul3fwXadldz4FkfhV8A9Wb7IzqGCyosQ6bZewAsDB_LVsYT3cJFAkp1eW2eQoMbiJdZvwg/s1600/chrissheridan_hipstermadonnas_2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi78iRlafjYL7Z-awrqM9TGL2FXUVmpj9WeMtBIx05sWMrcAO_khHKPwMDU1fQhULs61e35_Ul3fwXadldz4FkfhV8A9Wb7IzqGCyosQ6bZewAsDB_LVsYT3cJFAkp1eW2eQoMbiJdZvwg/s320/chrissheridan_hipstermadonnas_2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5619240427213422802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We are sending Chris our best wishes and much success for his Solo Show at Art Whino in WA DC.

So thank you to everyone who came out to the event! Below is a piece from each artist from the show. In this grouping of artist we have a collective concept of space, places, and area. The neat idea about those things is how the artist all got there. All the artist reference photographs that they all took. The ability to capture ideas, the correct thought provoking ideas, through photos, and to be able to manipulate, couple, and use the photos, is something that all the artist do differently. The ability to go from photos, to objects that are painted on, and the path the artist took to get there, is something that we said these artist all have unique abilities of accomplishing. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfxheBTzNXZPoru6lRDYXX8wxMcE-em7gHpRQoLnZu_BIz3lBfuumRDxMwJ-lnjRqrmcWLtztzie___PDw8OLDqbhzFwKD34ocme1Tv9JMYwJgHOLwmgIQCwfrfM4PylNdEc0m1BB63T8/s1600/B_Greg.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 247px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfxheBTzNXZPoru6lRDYXX8wxMcE-em7gHpRQoLnZu_BIz3lBfuumRDxMwJ-lnjRqrmcWLtztzie___PDw8OLDqbhzFwKD34ocme1Tv9JMYwJgHOLwmgIQCwfrfM4PylNdEc0m1BB63T8/s320/B_Greg.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608496814051013906" /></a>Greg Boudreau, an artist out of the Capitol Hill area, I believe has given up sleep to continuously work. He fills the majority of his studio with tables to accomplish the cutting and spraying that he does to the salvaged wood frames that he creates. His ability to find his canvas, capture his image, and to create pieces is mind bending. I really enjoy seeing the color that he uses to delineate space and light.<br /><br />"1st and Union"<br />60" x 44"<br />Aerosol on Salvaged Wood<br />$1400<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUtGlZrmjLI7w4hoE34y2I2FZFLF9MBrS1rXcqzHO0nRxHPbf611oFn8EXoU3CIJKTYk6r7OP0K7lz0yxiicpXJ4DBGzVqn19a7K78O_b6AJnO8pCkq1I_Q43B4Y-XmVVWQmMsKNq6ejI/s1600/B_Kellie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUtGlZrmjLI7w4hoE34y2I2FZFLF9MBrS1rXcqzHO0nRxHPbf611oFn8EXoU3CIJKTYk6r7OP0K7lz0yxiicpXJ4DBGzVqn19a7K78O_b6AJnO8pCkq1I_Q43B4Y-XmVVWQmMsKNq6ejI/s320/B_Kellie.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608496729625165138" /></a>Kellie Talbot, an artist working out of the Ballard area, is very organized. Michele and I have a definitely learned a few things from her to make our ship run way more smooth. One of her first jobs was working as a sign painter. That is where she fell in love with typography and letters. Her ability to capture old decrepit and decaying neon and light bulb signs is one of her signatures. Her perspective painting of relic signs invites you to wonder about time and the worn.<br /><br />"Big Bridge"<br />48" x 60"<br />Oil on Canvas<br />$2800<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3z3NMayeUvh8Ac4-DlUM1abS0tzmVNWzWZg0DPX-s4QfO0nZtg70Lr3rfCyDiSq45zl2uVY0Jb61CLOBJqppk6IQ3VFm5SfrPyySEixIjC4AXIQ70SeQx-v574TM7vSg3WH8Y9OD36I/s1600/B_Kate.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS3z3NMayeUvh8Ac4-DlUM1abS0tzmVNWzWZg0DPX-s4QfO0nZtg70Lr3rfCyDiSq45zl2uVY0Jb61CLOBJqppk6IQ3VFm5SfrPyySEixIjC4AXIQ70SeQx-v574TM7vSg3WH8Y9OD36I/s320/B_Kate.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5608496572212734130" /></a>And Kate Protage, who is working out of the Pioneer Square area (619 Western to be exact)is very process oriented, passionate, and knowledgeable about art and the creation of. I know that I have learned a few things from her from recent critiques and from just being around her when she is in the act of creating. I think her ability to create abstraction and color sensitive blurs is decisive. With a wide range of sizes and color combination containing movement and perception, Kate's work is very inviting for connoisseur of art.<br /><br />"Close To Home #3(Admiral)<br />36" x 48"<br />Oil on Panel<br />$3200Bherd Studioshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10616167092880372200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451012247019576195.post-73589629651044168952011-05-11T12:37:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:21:20.530-07:00If you’re not in Greenwood this Friday night, people are gonna talk!In case you didn’t know, we thought we should inform you that the official Seattle Urban Art Mecca is located in Greenwood.

Seattle artists Greg Boudreau, Kate Protage and Kellie Talbot’s work explores the urban landscapes throughout the Seattle area and beyond. Each artist uses photography as the starting point to their paintings, but come to a very different conclusion with their finished pieces. Talbot’s work deftly captures and documents the lost craftsmanship of American artifacts and signage and meticulously replicates the deterioration and faded glory of past times. Boudreau utilizes an excruciatingly long process of photographing and separating out the multiple layers of his photographs and hand cuts each of them into a stencil, using aerosols to recreate the scene. While Protage takes the best pieces of her photographs, melds them together and uses them to create evening cityscapes that give the viewer a hauntingly familiar feel.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKVgxp2e8bK9FKeY9i4_72SeFB9JQqhHyVeFZ6S2ynXWUvlpkAYfu_OIdLiqnbcJYIjzqkK0FEzRHKG35Ybl3tZZIX5S4LtuX-PcAzNbvToepG01oFudXeYhFWe7h4aCjpCGEwyie1sVE/s1600/Showroom-vert-sm.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 114px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605547740033342882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKVgxp2e8bK9FKeY9i4_72SeFB9JQqhHyVeFZ6S2ynXWUvlpkAYfu_OIdLiqnbcJYIjzqkK0FEzRHKG35Ybl3tZZIX5S4LtuX-PcAzNbvToepG01oFudXeYhFWe7h4aCjpCGEwyie1sVE/s320/Showroom-vert-sm.jpg" /></a><br /><br />GRAND OPENING of The Showroom @Bherd Gallery.

Lith Photo Print<br /><br /></span></em>Thomas uses a very difficult and laborious process to develop his photographs called Lith printing. This process limits the number of prints that can be developed and also makes each print just slightly different. He believes his photography is a way to visually reveal what truly lies within the refuse of the world. And he attempts to expose the hidden beauty of the forgotten; as well as communicating a yearning for order within this chaotic and corruptible world.

The show is on display through June 1st, 2011. It will showcase Elder’s layered geometric portraits. The artist is having a reception on May 6th from 6pm to 9pm during the Fremont Arts Walk.

consider the darker side of birds, inspired loosely on Alfred Hitchcock’s classic movie “The Birds”. Featuring the works of: Zach Bohnenkamp, CASH, Ego, Mary Enslow, Laura Louise Hines, Tessa Hulls, John Osgood, Sensei23, Chris Sheridan, Erin Staffeld and Joe Vollan. <p class="MsoNormal">Most people see birds as fluffy and sweet songsters or a way to market your latest indie craft. However, these artists are examining the more sinister side of our feathered friends. Birds have been used as indicators of human health like the “Canary in the Coal Mine”, as well as, been seen as signs of the impending apocalypse like the recent large die-offs in the US and around the world. Pacific NW Native American’s have immortalized the Raven in stories as the Trickster, who can be mischievous and a bit of a troublemaker. And if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a dive bombing crow, or a pissed off Canadian Goose, you know they can be quite the nasty interloper.
