Season

August 4-September 30, 2021

 

Season is proud to announce KNAVES OUT, an exhibition of new paintings by Seattle artist Joshua Thompson for the 2021 edition of The Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair.  Opening reception will be Saturday August 7, 3-6 pm and will continue to the end of September.  Hours are by appointment, please contact robert@season.cz to arrange a visit.  Through the collaborative efforts of the gallery community, the SDAF returns with its hybrid format of online and in-person exhibitions.  More information and locations of over 50 participating galleries can be found at seattledeconstructedartfair.com.

The paintings in Knaves Out are an extension of the playing card collages that Joshua began at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.  The purpose of the collages was to break down and peel back the layers to expose hidden structures of violence and privilege beneath their Western European pageantry.  in these new oil paintings (all are dated 2021), the dense opaqueness and physical thickness of the layers of white paint sit on the Kings, Queens, and Jacks, so as to obscure the histories in the under-paintings.  The mundane playing card, already loaded with a history, now carries the burden of the histories of our world dominated by colonialism, white supremacy, and hetero-normative-patriarchal violence. Joshua Thompson lives and works in Seattle, Washington.  He received his BFA from the University of West Florida and his MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, his work has been show in numerous venues across the Pacific Northwest.  This is Joshua’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and his first solo show since 2018.

 

Summer 2021

sEASON is excited to announce a two-month, two-part, pop up exhibition in the Chophouse Row building complex, starting with GOLDEN EYEDROPS opening Second Thursday, July 8, at 5pm in Suite D1.  Gallery hours will be Thursday to Saturday, 11-7, and by appointment.  Chophouse Row is located at 1424 11th Avenue, in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.  When entering from 11th Avenue, follow the walkway to the center courtyard, SEASON is the first space on the left past the glass doors.  ADA compliant, masks required when indoors.

gOLDEN EYEDROPS features the work of Allison Manch and Seth David Friedman arranged on one large platform in the center of the space.  Mixed among them will be works from other gallery artists which will highlight connections among the artworks and bridge various openings to form new conversations.  Allison Manch is a textile artist with a photography background, her work often references personal experiences using a variety of traditional and contemporary techniques. Seth David Friedman works at Children’s Hospital, where he has daily interactions with 3D printing processes to replicate patient organs.  His carved marble and cast bronze sculptures mimic the body and reference unknown physical and mental interiors.

part two of this endeavor, BLUE ETHER will open on Second Thursday, August 12, and will expand upon these connections and feature the work of Genevieve Gaudreau and Mike Simi.  Genevieve Gaudreau’s collages are blurred and difficult to decipher; they provide an entry for nostalgia and memory much in the same way Mike Simi’s drawings and small sculptures encourage awareness of popular past events.  All four of the featured artists have strong connections to Seattle, having grown up here and/or lived here for years.  

sEASON celebrated 10 years at the end of 2020 and is thankful the everyone at Chophouse Row/Dunn & Hobbs LLC for this opportunity to initiate post pandemic shows at this temporary location.  Regular shows at the Ravenna Boulevard address continue in August with the upcoming Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair featuring new paintings by Joshua Thompson.  Please contact robert@season.cz or call (206) 679-0706 for more information or to arrange a visit.   

May 7-30, 2021

SEASON is proud to present “I REMEMBER EVERYTHING,” a group show with work by Jeff Gerber, Cara Jaye, and Peter Scherrer. This show will take place at Geheim gallery, located at 1228 Bay Street, Bellingham, Washington, and hours are 11-4, Friday-Sunday. Face masks are required and appointments are recommended. Geheim Gallery website.

The Pacific Northwest is a place of tremendous natural beauty. Our old growth forests and mountain ranges are destinations for travelers and nature lovers year round. The artists in “I REMEMBER EVERYTHING” each admire and appreciate the attraction of our shared landscape while noting how time and progress has changed the geography. 

Jeff Gerber (Seattle) is an artist and musician working in multi-media including drawing, painting, and glass sculptures. As an artist that often has to travel for his job, Jeff has turned hotel rooms, parks, and street corners into his studio. This unique viewpoint has given his work a universality that recognizes how our impact has affected the world. 

Cara Jaye (Bellingham) is a multi-faceted artist combining conventional drawing, traditional and alternative photographic processes, and various printmaking techniques together with painting and collage.  Cara’s work highlights the aftermath of our shortsightedness especially with regards to our lakes and oceans. 

Peter Scherrer (Bellingham) is a contemporary artist who works primarily in painting and woodblock printmaking. His work approaches the subject of nature and landscape in a unique way, incorporating symbolism, layering and abstraction. Peter draws inspiration from hiking and road trips around the Pacific Northwest, gardening, and his family.

August 1-15

I’m very excited to participate in the Seattle Deconstructed Art Fair with paintings and drawings by New Hampshire artist Andy Heck Boyd.

As a result of the cancellation of The Seattle Art Fair due to Covid 19, over 50 Seattle area galleries are collaborating to produce unique, individual “fairs” within their spaces and/or online.  Please visit seattledeconstructedartfair.com for a list of participating galleries with hours and maps.

The work by Andy Heck Boyd is motivated in part by his paranoid schizophrenia and delusions of hearing the voices of Satan.  These burdens have led Andy to multiple college drop outs, and forced him to become self-taught.  These starts at an art education places his work between that of pure Outsider artist and seasoned grad.  Pulling from numerous aesthetics and styles, his work ranges from short novellas, comics, film, photography and painting and addresses concerns about identity, memory and humor. This exhibition will last August 1 to 15, please contact robert@season.cz to arrange a visit.

 

Summer 2020

 

SEASON IS PROUD TO PRESENT Motor Cave WITH CERAMIC WORKS and large drawings BY SEAN PEARSON.  In lieu of an opening reception, the work will be easily visible from the front window and you are invited to step up and see it during the day.  Appointments are encouraged if you wish to see the work closer, please email robert (at) season (dot) cz.  THE show will continue to September 30.

 

Sean Pearson is a Seattle artist working in dystopic sculptures.  A constant theme in his work is alienation from an obvious peer group and a reluctant  acceptance into an Other and how this acceptance can happen naturally, slowly and without recognition.  Sean graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design, Sarasota, Florida, with additional studies through the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design, New York, New York.  His work has been shown in Seattle, Brooklyn and Los Angeles, and written about in Animal New York and Art F City.
