Seeing the Numbers

New Paintings by Suze Woolf

Astoria.497 by Suze Woolf

I’m driven to glorify and aggrandize our infrastructure. I’ve painted a lot of industrial landscapes in the Seattle area in both daylight and at night. I think of them as unintentional monuments that rarely enter our consciousness.
A recent form of this preoccupation is a series showing the numbering systems on utility poles. For me, they represent a paradox of anonymous identity. The numbers represent location and inventory, but they are utterly faceless and unmemorable.

Bio:  Suze Woolf has been drawing all her life. After an initial undergraduate degree, she pursued fifth-year studies in printmaking and ceramics at the University of Washington. Her professional career has included the graphic design of printed materials and interface designs for commercial and prototype software. In the last few years she has devoted herself to the watercolor medium, winning awards at regional competitions. Her subject matter is diverse and driven by a desire to bring the unnoticed to the forefront of consciousness. From burned-over forests of the arid West, the numbering systems on utility poles to large scale industrial subjects, she finds intense visual, emotional and intellectual experience everywhere she looks.

Stillness, Momentum, Action

Mixed-media Encaustic Paintings by Janet Nechama Miller

Contemplation 2

Miller’s paintings are lovingly created using beeswax, encaustic pigments, handmade graphite transfer paper, oil paint, and salvaged materials:  scraps of old maps, antique sheet music, worn sewing patterns, well-used dictionaries, handwritten memories, and other precious remnants of moving and stumbling through this world.  This series of work honors stories told and savored, stillness, momentum, and action.  Beneath every building lies a history of struggle & resiliency.

Kelly Rae Cunningham:  Middle School

Middle School no. 4: Rascal and Scallwag

Kelly Rae Cunningham draws on the playfulness of her youth with her new collection of works entitled Middle School.  She revives the past while exploring her own transformation through her whimsical use of dot and line, energetic brush strokes , and bold colors.

Bio

My paintings began with slabs of clay, ceramic glazes, and the same tools that I use today to apply, layer, and scrape away paint. I fell in love with mixing colors and the smell of oil paint and turpentine, so I turned from clay to wood and canvas.  I now work in many mediums as they  lend different qualities to the process: oil for the saturation of color and patience, acrylic paint for speed, collage and layering for depth, and encaustics (oil and wax): tactile, three dimensional and most like working with clay.   My paintings employ layers of color, boldly worked with palette knives and brushes.
I have been painting and exhibiting  in Seattle for six years.   My work has been been collected privately and corporately, including “the Pearl” on Capitol Hill and “Mural” in West Seattle where  there are 13 paintings throughout the apartment highlighting  a 144” x 120” piece for the lobby.  A  100”x38” piece from this Middle School Series can be seen in a home featured in the current Seattle Homes and Lifestyles November/December 2010 issue .

Opening Reception, Thursday November 4th, 5:00pm – 9:00pm

Runs through November 27 , 2010

“I am a self taught artist born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and now living in Seattle, Washington. I enjoy taking a variety of photos, working with clay, and painting with acrylics in an effort to keep a healthy balance between my work and my play.

My emotions for painting are transferred from the soul to the canvas and represents what some would refer to as Modern Abstract Expressionism. It’s an expression of my emotions rather than simplifying the painting by merely showing images that could evoke an expression. They are physical and emotional works; the painting is no longer an image or a series of images that define an emotion, but rather it is the expression itself of a particular event in my life that has provided a painting its inspiration. I need to feel the texture of the paint as I mix it, need to feel the consistency and viscosity before I can apply it to the canvas. Even after mixing, the paint may require other forms of media: tobacco, glass, concrete, coffee grounds, brick mortar, to obtain the end result.”

Antony DeGenarro

I am originally from New Jersey and have been a Seattle resident for 20 years. I currently reside at the Tashiro Kaplan Artist Lofts.

“I’m interested in how the passing of time reflects on earth. Objects are left behind representing a symbolic meaning and perspective. The camera can capture the evidence & testimony that an artifact can reveal. Photography can reflect images of impermanence, renewal and a persons unique perspective. I am using my cameras to document nature interacting with my imagination. I’m presenting my work for entertainment, mood enhancement, thought reflections & room ambiance.”
