Assemble Gallery & Studio: 7406 Greenwood Ave N
Featuring the work of Scott Scoggin of Slide Sideways. Row Me to the Shore focuses on the interaction of shapes and flat color.

All work is gouache on paper, and each painting is signed in pencil by the artist. For more by Scott, go to slide-sideways.com. Artist present.

Realism is making a comeback. After a few years of lying low, representational art is back with a vengeance—artists are creating figurative work with passion and finesse, but now they’re adding their own unique twists. In a fitting gesture for these tumultuous times, the artists that were chosen for “Askew” create intense, layered imagery that challenges our perceptions of “normal” and makes us think twice about what’s real and what’s not. The work is sometimes dramatic and sometimes subtle, but it’s always well crafted and wonderful. “Askew” is curated by Seattle artists, Chris Sheridan & Kate Protage and features the contemporary works of: Yvette Endrijautzki, Carl Faulkner, Zanetka Gawronski, Larkin, Matthew Lewis, Aaron Jasinski, Spyder Peterka, AJ Power, Jim Stoccardo, James Walker, and Andrea Wicklund.

The photographers each work with black and white photography, but their works explore the juxtaposition of urban and rural topics. Raucher's series Metro documents the behavior of ordinary people in mass transit systems in several countries and cultures. As individuals interact with one another in these tightly-packed public spaces, occasionally situations that are unexpected, mysterious, humorous or poignant unfold. Todd Smith's series Bins documents fruit bin lots, as the unintentional architecture of the region where he was born.

Two Birds Tattoo: 7408 Greenwood Ave N
Artwork by Betsy Barnum. Artist Statement: I use my works on paper to describe my life, expressing my thoughts and emotions about a specific moment or circumstance through my relationships with those I am close to. I build up thin layers of paint, ink and pencil to conceal and reveal images the way emotions and behavior are unconsciously layered to hide or signal something to others. The gesture and composition of the figures in my work are very important, as they are the first indicators of the work’s meaning. I use recurring objects from piece to piece as symbols or metaphors for people and ideas. For example, I often use a typewriter to represent myself, or birds as metaphors for fear and emotion. I use paper as my surface because of its flexibility, smoothness, and capacity for erasure. Like a palimpsest, it shows the progression and history of layers of marks. Like skin it wrinkles and fights back when worked on, asserting its personality into the painting or drawing. Like journal pages, my work is an ongoing narrative, each piece chronologically linked to the others. Each gesture, color, layer, and object is significant, and each work interacts with the others to establish meaning through a repetition of these elements. Artist present.
