The last few weeks have been so busy that I barely know my own name, but now all is settled and wonderful in my new place and Ive finally gotten out to see some art, and though you only have a week and a half to see a couple of these shows. Honey, its so worth it so get out there and check out the art by Jason Witte and Mark Eaton, as well as a number of other delicious art by a number of local artists at Art/Not Terminal Gallery. Wittes work is more of the stark, honest, landscape variety and Eatons work is simple and elegant, with bold colors that I would call inspiring. Also dont miss Henry Beatties rich, bright oils on stretched canvas, or Holly Canwells lush Passion, done in deep reds and flecks of gold, or Catherine Links wonderful, big canvas paintings. The gallery is located north of Westlake Center, on Westlake and Lenora, by the Champ Arcade (which has some interesting latex outfits in the window Ill be checking out before I head to Norwescon next week!). And on the hill, if youre going to see Re-Acts marvelously twisted dramedy, The Shape of Things, at Richard Hugo House, do stop and peruse Nancy Kiefer and Rebecca Browns collaborative painting/writing pieces, Woman in Ill-Fitting Wig. Definitely imaginative as the title implies, these paintings are like childrens drawings, but taken a little to the left and infused with almost dreamlike qualities. I like, I like, and you must see them. Up through the month of March. Also on the hill, you must, must, must check out works from artists from all over these United States, who were given the task of coming up with paintings depicting the major arcana cards of the tarot. And, as a professional psychic (as well as a lover of very provocative art), I give each and every one my stamp of approval. All of them are exciting in a way very few decks Ive seen before are, but particularly engaging are The Fool, The Lovers and Death, each of which bring new and fresh meanings to this oldest and most familiar psychic tool. The work is at WingNut Galleries (1205 E. Pike St., next to Elysian Brewing Company). And dont miss the chance to see new work at the Triangle Gallery in the Downtown YMCA, or to see the slice of life show of photos by Youth in Focus at the Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Transgender Community Center, also located on E. Pike, near the Wildrose. |
