Justin Kane Elder, Seattle Urban Artist at Gainsbourg: Jan 14 - Feb 4

"Bob" by Justin Kane Elder


Artist Opening: Fri, Jan 14 from 6-10pm
Showing through: Fri, Feb 4

Bherd Studios features the pop portraiture of Seattle artist, Justin Kane Elder at Gainsbourg in Greenwood. Elder simplifies images by deconstructing them into basic geometric shapes. His goal is to construct a complex design out of simple forms. Each piece focuses on individual colors and how those colors relate to the space they inhabit. Colors are piled together to create a network of corresponding objects. This talented artist is a graduate of Cornish and is a real up and comer on the urban art scene – we expect to see great new work coming out from Elder this year.

The artist opening is in conjuction with our neighborhood artwalk: Art Up Phinneywood which happens every 2nd Friday from 6-9pm all year long.
