This group exhibit features an eclectic mix of works by seven Urban Contemporary artists who are influenced by graffiti/street art, pop art, and the Surrealist and Neo-Expressionist movements. Their work offers viewers a fresh, sharp, and stimulating visual language that explores not only socio-economic issues such as globalization and consumerism, but also the individual psyche, Americana, and spirituality.

Drum of the Draw – October 23rd

drumtitlegeneric

The next Drum of the Draw, on October 23rd, is being held at Halogen Gallery this month. I am excited about this one. I will be hand-coloring some recent etchings for this event. I hope to see you there.

“Drum of the Draw” is a monthly live, invitational drawing event that brings artists and their creative process to the public for one night each month. The artists create original drawings while the public is invited to enjoy refreshments, observe the artists at work and purchase art as it is completed. None of the work is over $200.00, making it an affordable way to purchase works from some of your favorite Seattle artists.

Participating artists are:

Daniel Mitchell
Karin Yamagiwa
Ninjagrl
Robert Hardgrave
Soopajdelux
Suzanne Kaufman
Todd Lown

When: October 23rd, 2009, 5-9pm
Where: Halogen Gallery – 2316 2nd Ave. Seattle WA – 206.905.7775
