420 N. 35th St.

Artist: Lewis Curtiss Jr., Paint and Collage

Lewis' love of quilts and the fabric pieces they're made from, turned into collage once he realized that beautiful traditional quilt block designs could be interpreted using other materials and methods. Instead of an entire quilt, he chooses to focus on the individual block patterns. Despite the classic geometry of the designs Lewis chooses, the random visual energy of the papers he creates bring a new vision to these classic standards. The longer one looks at a block, the more you see in the visual depths of the texture, forms and colors.

100 NE Northlake Way, Ste. 200

Artist: Craig van den Bosch, Paintings

Playing off of the philosopher Walter Benjamin’s “dialectical image”, my work addresses the dynamics of biology vs. technology and asks whether there will be a harmony between the two as the gap closes. Technology is changing the way in which we interpret these age-old perceptions of reality and weaves a new fabric. How will we interact within this new fabric?

Artist: Ann Maki, Textile Sculptures

"Recently, I have turned my hands away from fabric and machine stitch to freeform hand-knitting to create three-dimensional abstract fiber works. Inspired by large shapes in nature, such as mountain sides and mima mounds, they are studies of serenity and strength. The softness of the knit structures belies the ruggedness of the hard solids of rocky mountainsides and packed earth of the mounds. Other pieces are brighter and whimsical, using the media to lighten the emotion." - Maki

The images in the Night Ride Home part of the series continues the exploration of car culture by focusing on the mood of heading home- satisfied with the day's journey.

SPECIAL EVENT:

PAUL FRANK'S ACADEMY OF AWESOME

SEATTLE TOUR STOP!!!

Location: parking lot at 35th & Phinney (also home to Fremont Outdoor Movies) from 6-9pm on Sept. 2nd

The Academy of Awesome Mobile Tour debuted on June 25, 2011 with a kick off party in Los Angeles, Calif. The giant blue Winnebago, covered in the signature Paul Frank monkey face logo (known to fans as "Julius"), has made its way East across the Southern portion of the United States and will be coming back through the Northern Route.

Tour stops will showcase a retrospective exhibit displaying limited edition co-branded products dating back over a decade. Other activities include a Creation Station where aspiring designers of all ages can submit art for the chance to create an exclusive Paul Frank t-shirt sold at Paulfrank.com, a battle of the bands, silk screening, ping-pong, a “puppy prom” inspired fashion show and so much more. The Winnebago will feature a product showroom and lounge showcasing Paul Frank’s latest collection. The newly equipped Winnebago also features interactive stations for social media and music all driven by custom designed furniture incorporating the ipad.

“We have a lot of fun every day creating new products and artwork that we release each season,” said Ryan Heuser, Chief Creative Officer of Paul Frank. “The Academy of Awesome Tour allows us to share that creative process and engage our fans directly with our influences. Maybe you’ll learn how to silk screen a shirt? Maybe you’ll hear a new favorite band? Or learn about a new character? The idea is for us to get out on the road and share our creative experience. We will be spreading some of our own brand of fun, directly back to our fans through events, activities and of course, Julius.”

"My illustration style began developing over the past year, when I decided to give portraits to two of my good friends on their wedding day. It was such a fun and encouraging experience, that I decided to go crazy and do more! I find the human face to be such a fascinating subject; and I'm a huge pop culture freak, so film characters, singers, and fashion models are my favorite to illustrate." - Fraley Check out her blog here.

Born of Scottish parents, raised in Switzerland, trained by the Dutch at the de Kooning Academie, figurative painter Fiona McGuigan brings a worldly view to her paintings of wrestlers and dancers. Her current work is all about capturing the human figure in motion, finding the moment of impact when bodies collide and exploring the nationalistic overtones found in images of Swiss wrestling.

Fiona’s work has been seen at the Whatcom County Museum in Bellingham, Gallery 110 in Seattle, Gallery One in Ellensburg, and at the Stage Gallery in New York. Her paintings have also been shown at the School of Visual Concepts in Seattle, where Fiona trained and is now the assistant director.

I choose to emphasize these overlooked moments of life with hopes of finding some understanding. We have to be willing to look deeper for meaning because many situations are not as simple as we think." - Gonzales

Artist: Cait Willis, Acrylic Paintings

"The Weak Signal Series lifts particularly glitchy stills from an old TV. I then paint based on the digital photos from the stills. I work in acrylics on canvas employing a technique mostly seen in Grecian pottery called sgraffiti. This entails painting or glazing over a darker ground a lighter ground and then exposing the darker ground through the act of scratching or drawing into the surface. This creates a highly graphic line that is the armature of the rest of the picture. I strive to get the nature of the life behind the gaze of my subjects. It is their character that informs the line and color." - Willis

Artist: Gina Jones, Paintings

"The ideas for my paintings do not evolve from any kind of social narrative. They are independent from human structure and exist maybe only in the microcosm. A universe within a universe. The idea of deep sea luminosity fascinates me along with cellular structure of imagined life forms. I strive for a continuous awareness for light, negative space and the impact of subtle color. Bubbles. I am obsessed with bubbles." - Jones

Wine for $5/glass, or 5/$20. Live music by Bar Tabac, plus Here and There food truck will be serving their mouth-watering culinary fare from the winery parking lot.

Artist: Janet Wold, Paintings & Ceramics

What attracted us to Janet and made us want to show her was the lushness of her paintings. Images of jungles and gardens are thick with all manner of plants and creatures. But then that contrasts with her still lifes: simple, graceful, serene. Janet describes her process like this: "I paint and sculpt mainly from my imagination. I create a story in my mind, and then I try and create it on canvas or in clay."

Artist: Jean Bradbury, Paintings

Jean Bradbury was born in Shetland Islands, U.K. in 1963. She grew up in New Brunswick, canada on her parents organic farm where she learned to see plants and animals as a natural part of her emotional life. After completing her BFA in painting at Queens University she spent time traveling through Europe developing an interest in art history, natural dyes and archeology.

She paints gardens inhabited by whimsical and often vulnerable creatures. Both joyful and sinister, these places celebrate our own gentle natures in a world where anxiety and heartache lurk.

In using oils, Ann finds the striking graphics and colorful images of these vintage designs made new again. Much as she feels when riding a bike – like a kid again.
