Fleeting Beauty: Japanese Woodblock Prints 

SEATTLE ASIAN ART MUSEUM, SEATTLE, WA – Apr 1-Jul 4, 2010 Fleeting Beauty: Japanese Woodblock 

Prints is a significant collection of over 60 traditional Japanese woodblock prints from the 

18th and 19th centuries. It represents some of Japan's most renowned artists of ukiyo-e, or “pictures 

of the floating world”. This genre of printmaking depicts the vibrant urban culture of the city 

of Edo, Japan (now Tokyo), which grew to be one of the largest cities in the world during this era. 

Produced for the mass populace, these graphic and stylized works often functioned as playbills for 

popular entertainment, to advertise the newest 

styles, or to show actors of the kabuki theatre. 

The ukiyo-e are dramatic and compelling 

compositions representing transient moments, 

fleeting pleasures and ephemeral fantasies of the 

Edo period. Most of these elegant works tell their 

stories through fluid, linear, hand-coloured compositions. 

Female subjects are captured in dramatic 

poses, wearing elaborate hairstyles and

flowing, patterned kimonos. 

The earliest examples in this collection are 

sensual black and white pieces depicting courtesans 

with clients. Kitagawa Utamaro's graceful 

renditions of the charming and alluring beauties 

are some of the most notable in the exhibit. The 

landscape-based works of Katsushika Hokusai and Utagawa Hiroshige show new atmospheric 

approaches to rendering perspective in both rural and urban scenes. The exhibit also includes 

many Hiroshige landscape prints based on travels along the road from Edo to Kyoto, including the 

series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo and The Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido. Allyn Cantor

Mixed Signals: Artists Consider Masculinity in Sport 

THE ART GALLERY OF CALGARY, CALGARY AB – Apr 30-Sep 4, 2010 Mixed Signals presents work created 

during the past 15 years by artists who have examined various notions of the male athlete. 

Through video, photography, mixed media, sculpture, painting, and installation, the artists – 

including Matthew Barney, Mark Bradford, Marcelino Gonçalves, Lyle Ashton Harris, Brian Jungen, 

Kurt Kauper, Shaun El. C. Leonardo, Kori Newkirk, Catherine Opie, Paul Pfeiffer, Marco Rios, Collier 

Schorr, Joe Sola, Sam Taylor-Wood and Hank Willis Thomas – emphasize the social construction 

of “masculinity” and the ways in which it is encoded in sports. 

The exhibit critiques ideals of masculinity associated with competition, including the characterization 

of male athletes as aggressive, heterosexual 

and emotionally-remote; the 

ego-driven management of male sports 

and sports figures; sports “legends” and 

heroes; the place of media and advertising 

in the construction of individual and team 

identities; as well as the hot topics of sexual 

orientation and drug use. It asks important 

questions about how, why and what it 

is that we watch, desire and adore in the 

spectacular, media-saturated field of 

sports.

Alden Mason: Endless Flirting on Paper 

FOSTER/WHITE GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Apr 4-27, 2010 Alden Mason has participated in the Northwest 

art scene for over half a century. At age 90, the prolific artist continues to create works of art in 

an ever-evolving style that reflects his active imagination. Mason, who grew up surrounded by the 

fertile landscape of the Skagit Valley, still paints with a fresh childlike wonder reminiscent of such 

youthful experiences as bird-watching. 

Over the years, Mason has created a world of lyrical inventions. His soft-focus paintings move 

between abstraction and an iconic language of mark-making where primitive style figures and birds 

populate energetic picture planes. His imagery is distinct and unique, with playful and humorous 

gestures found in the current paintings. 

Dedicated to change, improvisation and 

spontaneity in his mature years, Mason has 

incorporated the element of chance into several 

of his new pieces by drawing with his 

eyes closed. His latest paintings, created with 

watercolour and oil stick, move away from 

the fluid oil paintings from the 1970s which 

had brought him national attention. Mason 

was forced to abandon oil painting when the 

medium affected his health, but has recently 

revisited the technique using acrylics and 

varnishes. Burpee Revisited captures all the 

fluidity of his linear works without a firm 

distinction. 

Mason received his BFA and MFA from 

narratives facilitated by a distinctive tension 

between human figures, and the 

atmosphere in which they dwell; Apr 15- 

May 15 Tanya Slingsby, “ARCANA”, 

spirited and ethereal abstract paintings; 

May 20-Jun 19 Barry Weiss, paintings 

reminiscent of stormy Saskatchewan 

prairie landscape and European sublime 

and romantic legacy are shown alongside

Jean-François Gromaire.

Light is a reflection of public policy in Vancouver and Seattle 


BY ANN ROSENBERG 

The March 16 morning news showed Mayor Gregor Robertson grinning happily as he activated a 45foot 

tall yellow and red neon sign the previous evening emblazoned with the words “Chinatown Plaza” in 

English and "Chinatown welcomes you" in Chinese. Positioned on a city-owned brick building at the 

intersection of Keefer and Quebec not far from the hub of the second largest Chinatown in North America, 

this huge piece of noticeable signage is part of a strategy to ensure 

that pedestrians will walk more safely at night, and it is intended to 

increase evening programming and business opportunities for local 

merchants. 

The sign was partly financed with municipal funds as part of the 

City's Chinatown Revitalization Plan and Vancouver's Great Beginnings 

program which celebrate the history, heritage and culture of 

one of the metropolis' oldest communities. As such, this landmark 

was the result of countless meetings and planning decisions. It symbolizes 

Chinatown’s long-standing value as a major resource for all 

local residents and tourists. The fact that its medium is neon was 

also probably a point of discussion. Neon signs are coming back 

into fashion these days, despite being criticized for polluting the 

atmosphere with coloured haze and for a heavy consumption of 

electric power – topics that are now a special concern of Vancouver 

City council and the Engineering Department which are eager to 

embrace green energy. 

Although totally white in hue and drawing less power from 

local resources, Ken Lum’s cruciform-shaped Monument for East 

Vancouver is another highly visible and equally effective marker of a 

long-lived-in Vancouver territory. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), 

Mayor Gregor Robertson activating the 45-foot 

neon sign in Vancouver’s Chinatown, March 15, 

2010 / photo: City of Vancouver 

Ken Lum, Monument for East Vancouver 

(2010), 57-foot-high LED sculpture bearing 

the words East Van / photo: Scott Massey 

which are considered to be longer lasting and less expensive than 

other lighting systems, have been employed in this and in many 

other public art works commissioned for the 2010 Winter 

Olympics and Paralympics. These world class events were promoted 

(because of the technology used in certain new Public Art works, 

the sustainability of the skating oval in Richmond, Vancouver's new 

Convention Centre, and the experimental Athletes' Village on Cambie) 

as the greenest-ever, green Olympic Games. 

Few people know that Vancouver’s widely-acknowledged 

sophistication in public art owes a good deal to the example set by 

Seattle's adoption of the Public Art Ordinance in 1973. This policy 

requires that 1% of eligible capital improvement project funds be set 

aside for the commission, purchase and installation of art in a variety 

of settings and in a number of mediums. The City of Seattle's 

website indicates that more than 350 permanently sited and 2,600 

portable works have been commissioned through this public 

process during the last 30 years. 

Vancouver began a similar highly successful method of art sponsorship 

and purchase in 1990 which seeks to incorporate “contemporary 

art practices into city planning and development”. It encourages 

the production of many different kinds of art by well-known 

and emerging artists by engaging them in civic and private sector 

projects. The immense photo-mural by Stan Douglas in the atrium 

of the recently opened Woodward's redevelopment project is an 

excellent example of a public artwork commissioned in the latter 

category (see page 24 in the last issue of Preview). In contrast, the

pieces produced for the multi-faceted Olympic and Paralympic Public Art Program were made possible 

through a variety of government funding, public and private partnerships, and private sponsorships. 

Another parallel that exists in the public art-making of Seattle and Vancouver in the last 15 years 

has been a relationship with public utilities and local history. An excellent example south of the border 

is Max Keene’s 2006 interactive light-based artwork in the Seattle Public Utilities' Operations and 

Control Centre. As employees pass under 

the ceiling-mounted installation, lights 

trace their movement along its undulating 

form to imply the flow and environment 

of water. 

A Vancouver example is Tania Ruiz 

Gutiérrez's 2010 enormous, elaboratelyprogrammed 

vase called Garde-temps that 

is installed under the Cambie Bridge near 

the Olympic Village Canada Line Station. 

In addition to taking onto its skin an 

ever-changing sequence of images from 

video equipment set within the sculpture, 

it is also designed to react to the 

body heat of pedestrians walking by. 

Needless to say on either side of the border, the planning and installation of public art is a lengthy 

and complex undertaking. When reading about the commissions for 2010 before seeing any of them, 

I was skeptical of their worth and their ability to create an impression on visitors during the Winter 

Games and a legacy worth noticing when they were over. If there is such a thing as humble pie, I 

would gladly eat it. 

What turned this Olympic Grinch into a fan? Mainly, it was the enthusiastic, red and white clad, generally 

well-behaved celebrants who mixed with guests from other parts of the world in the streets of Vancouver. 

The focal point of this energy was barely contained in the newly reopened, redesigned Robson 

Square at night during the long stretch of 

record-breaking warm weather in February, 

that compensated for an embarrassing lack 

of snow at the high altitude sites where skiing, 

snowboarding and other Winter 

Olympic sports were planned to take place. 

Other visuals that are burned into my 

brain are photo-documents of the twosided 

light sculpture of the Olympic rings 

situated on a barge so that it could be 

moved to various locations in the harbour. 

The rings were studded with thousands of 

programmed lights that could change hue 

when they did a spectacular dance to celebrate 

each gold medal win by a Canadian. 

The illustration in this article captures the 

Olympic rings float on a barge in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour during the 2010 

Games / photo: John Bieler

marvellous effect of the colours reflected on the black night waters. It also shows the relationship of the 

rings with the sails of the Pan Pacific Hotel’s Great Hall and the lit-up windows of nearby high-rise 

buildings. 

This unforgettable photograph reminds me of the impressive LED sign ‘City Light’ installed in 1998 at 

the Seattle City Light South Service Centre, through which one can look beyond to the glittering lights of 

the metropolis. The building shown here belongs to Seattle's Public Utilities where LED illumination is 

being strongly promoted as the contemporary, flexible and green method of lighting. 

When art critic Robin Laurence previewed Vancouver’s Winter Olympic public art program in 

mid-December, she stated that LED is the new bronze and suggested that the projects which utilize so 

many different forms of light as a medium, signal an art-world trend found in Vancouver’s legacy of 

Olympic public art.

Andrea Benson: Hands and Minds 

23 SANDY GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – May 6-29, 2010 Portland artist Andrea Benson has successfully 

worked in ceramics, papermaking, printmaking, photography and collage. After receiving a 

BFA in Art from Penn State and a BFA in Interior Design from Marylhurst University, she has painted 

with encaustics for the past seven years. 

For her new work in Hands and Minds, Benson has combined drawing, paper and encaustic to 

create a fanciful group of figurative paintings. Showing her interest in inner narratives and memories 

that translate into the universal, the mixed media panels reveal opulent layers of drawing and collage 

embedded within the depths of wax medium. The radiant and milky effect of the encaustic method 

enhances the transitory, fantasy-like subjects of her artwork. 

For her subject matter, she has used subtle hand gestures to reflect avenues within the mind. Benson’s 

romantic vision is executed 

through the elegant compositions 

where we see dream-like characters 

in graceful poses. As the artist 

states, “Hands, arms and stance 

are explored as handmaidens of 

the mind – a mind imagined as 

Andrea Benson, Takes Two (2009), encaustic on paper and drawing on wood 

panel [23 Sandy Gallery, Portland OR, May 6-29] 

individual, collective, cultural and 

environmental.”. 

The facial identity of Benson’s 

“handmaidens” is mostly obscured, as if the figures are meant to act as metaphors for emotional 

events or archetypal experiences. In Wader, a sensual woman emerges from an ethereal water-like 

reflection. Her hands and arms are in full focus while the rest of the softly rendered composition 

depicts surreal sensations. In Hanging Meadow, an elongated woman is draped in delicate clothing 

that literally spills into a foreground of cartoon-like flowers. Allyn Cantor

Angela Fama: Mirrorface 

GRACE-GALLERY AND ON MAIN GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 1-29, 2010 In Mirrorface, 

Vancouver artist Angela Fama examines that moment of self-absorption and candidness when we 

check our appearance in a mirror. The exhibit consists of 12 double portraits of men and women 

between the ages of 25 and 35. After shooting a straight-on passport-style photo of each subject 

in her studio, Fama left each person alone in the room with a mirror and a way to signal when 

they felt they were showing their private face to the lens. The second photo was taken remotely, 

without Fama present, by the camera mounted on a tripod. The diptychs invite us to study each 

face in both the guarded and unguarded moments. 

Angela Fama studied art in high school in Ontario and earned a Photo Imaging Diploma from 

Langara College, Vancouver in 2004. She currently works as an artist and a commercial photographer 

from her studio in Cartelera 

Talent House, a local collective of 12 

painters, writers and photographers. 

She created Mirrorface in the summer 

of 2008 and has shown in several 

group shows, including Photo 

Mission: Three Stories at the Elliott 

Louis Gallery (2007) and 440hz 

Electromagnetic Explorations (2007), 

a Canada Council-funded project. 

Angela Fama, Mirrorface 01: Christa (2008-2010), C-Print [concurrently at 

grace-gallery and ON MAIN Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 1-29] 

Fama was a winner of Flash Forward 

– Emerging Photographers 

2009 (Magenta Foundation) and 

has received honourable mentions for her work from the International Photography Awards 

(2009) and Photographer’s Forum (2003). She has shot commercially for many magazines and 

other publications, and for numerous designers and musicians. Mia Johnson

Sunshine Coast artist Marleen Vermeulen was born in the Netherlands. She is a graduate of the 

Design Academy in Eindhoven and the Academy of Fine Arts in Utrecht. Her paintings of British 

Columbia’s coastal regions have a rough and craggy impasto that serves some of the subject matter 

well, from the barnacle-encrusted surfaces of rocks at Blind Bay and the Curme Islands to the forest 

undergrowth of Back Trail, or the rough cedar bark of the massive trees in Spirit of the Woods III. 

In the 1980s and the early 1990s, Vermeulen 

had an extensive international 

and award-winning career in graphic 

design. She has devoted herself to her 

personal painting since 1994. Beginning 

with small oil-based abstracts, she moved 

to larger figurative works that focused on 

emotions and body language. She eventually 

graduated to her current theme: 

impressionistic landscapes of the neighbouring 

areas and seascapes of the Sunshine 

Coast. She adopted what she calls a 

West Coast palette and began working 

on canvasses up to six feet in size, as well as diptychs created by abutting two 48-inch square canvasses. 

As seen from her viewpoint while hiking or in a kayak, the images express her fascination 

with dense forests and rocky surfaces. Mia Johnson

Nicole Dextras: Signs of Change 

GRUNT GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 1-May 8, 2010 Vancouver artist Nicole Dextras creates art 

in a multitude of media, including book arts, paper casting, public site art and photography. 

Although she also works with organic materials from forest and gardens and has created fantastic 

wearable “Weedrobes”, she may be best known for ice typography sculptures. Using moulds made 

from marquee letters and other signs, she freezes alphabet letters then sets them up to form words. 

Many of her “eco-installations” are elegant and unique responses to environmental concerns. Others 

are meditative responses to her personal life experiences. 

The contradiction between the massive, cold, 

hard letters and the quietly melting shapes, often 

accompanied by candles and other soft lighting, is a 

poetic endeavour of the first order. As she puts it, 

“They have more in common with dreams and oral 

stories than linear language”. 

Dextras has installed words like “RESOURCE”, 

“VIEW” and “LEGACY” on the Yukon River and Lake 

Nippissing, and in Dawson City and North Bay. Letters 

spelling “Memoire de Glass” were installed outside a 

Montreal Metro station, and a series of words inspired 

by the poetry of Pier Giorgio Di Cicco placed through- 

Nicole Dextras, BREATH (2007), ice installation for A 

Night of All Souls at Mountain View Cemetery [grunt 

gallery, Vancouver BC, Apr 1-May 8] 

out parks in Toronto. In 2007, Dextras and friends created 

memorials using ice letters for A Night of All 

Souls celebration at Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver. 

Her ice projects have ranged from small pieces 

with eighteen-inch high letters to seven-foot text in the Yukon. 

A graduate of Emily Carr, Dextras also teaches courses there, including a course in environmental 

installation. For Signs of Change, Dextras is exhibiting photographs of projects from the last five 

years at the grunt gallery and installing new pieces on a weekly basis at different Vancouver sites 

during April 2010. See www.grunt.ca for updates on locations. Mia Johnson

Dios Nunca Muere: the visual politics 

of transmutation in contemporary Oaxacan art 

DELUGE CONTEMPORARY ART AND OPEN SPACE, VICTORIA BC – Apr 2-May1, 2010 Dios Nunca 

Muere (literally, “God Never Dies”) features the work of 17 artists from the Oaxaca region of Southern 

Mexico. Curated by Deborah de Boer in Victoria and Luis Hampshire in Oaxaca, the exhibition examines 

contemporary art over the last two decades as well as the constraints of geography on communication 

and production on artists, galleries and 

curators in the isolated regions that make 

up the remote area. 

Although Oaxaca is well known for its 

colourful indigenous crafts, particularly 

weavings and alebrijes (carved wooden 

figures), the emergent contemporary art 

scene has been only sporadically recognized 

on an international level. The practitioners 

are well-educated and immersed in 

global approaches and perspectives. As 

described by the curators, “...this new 

wave of artist/provocateurs is dismantling 

the prevailing hegemony of the Romantic 

artist/auteur in favour of collaborative 

approaches, social practice and self-examination”. 

Themes of repression, corruption, 

almost 100 BC artists with works in fine 

art, tableware, home decor, sculpture 

and jewellery making for great variety 

and diversity. The gallery specializes in 

gift items.

Conservator’s Corner 

Challenges of Conserving Contemporary Artwork 

BY CHERYLE HARRISON 

CONSERV1@TELUS.NET 

Creative expression utilizing the abundant availability of technologically advanced materials has contributed 

to an artistic evolution. This has seen contemporary artists evolve through the traditional to 

the avant-garde to the visionary. Our modern expectations for new stimulation and exploration entice 

artists to use abstract materials in unique ways. It has redefined the interpretation of not only what is 

made, but why and how it is created. We applaud the way materials are employed as much as the final 

outcome; similar to an inventive chef who uses scientific methods to re-texture ingredients for a new 

culinary palette. As with a fine meal, the achievement of creative exploration often culminates in a transitory 

existence for much of our contemporary art.. 

A present-day conservator’s relationship with an object extends beyond scientific knowledge of 

material construction and the effects of aging or external events; it includes a continually evaluated ethic 

and a philosophy that an object is more than its visual aesthetic value. An object’s construction is an 

intrinsic component of its artistic integrity. Some challenges of contemporary art are an inherent fragility 

caused by deterioration and incompatibility of materials, fading paints and inks, darkening resins and 

fractured plastics, and the effects of pollution and exposure to harmful environments. A conservator 

endeavours to achieve balance in a problematic situation so as to slow the path of deterioration. 

Sometimes the purpose of an artwork can actually contribute to its demise as in a Rauschenberg artwork 

consisting of images on stretched silk with faucets directing water into a bucket placed upon a 

steel platform. The dilemma: the bucket was being damaged by the force of the water and leakage 

threatened the artwork. 

The quandary: the water 

and its sound are essential 

to the experience of the 

artwork and their function 

was endangering the 

piece. The selected remedy: 

localized conservation 

treatment and collaboration 

with the artist to fabricate 

a new bucket 

which preserved the art 

and originality of the 

artist. 

Exterior works and 

environmental art also 

have distinctive challenges 

as illustrated by Robert 

Smithson’s Spiral Jetty at 

Great Salt Lake, Utah. It is 

endangered by natural 

threats, mining, and oil exploration. The now deceased artist believed in accepting nature’s changes to his 

earthwork art, but should these changes include the impact of human activity? Deterioration of the Spiral 

Jetty creates many questions – whether or not to restore the jetty? And if so, will it retain its concept, but 

lose its artistic integrity and be devalued because its original materials are altered? Is adulteration better 

than losing the art altogether or, should it be permitted to degrade into non-existence. Are artists responsible 

for the deterioration of their work? 

Some challenges of contemporary art originate in the vastness of its invention and meaning. A conservator 

deliberates many angles and questions when endeavouring to preserve without reinterpretation 

or remaking artistic history – classic or contemporary.

Critical Messages: Contemporary Northwest 

Artists on the Environment 

WESTERN GALLERY, WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA – Apr 12-May 29, 2010 

Critical Messages is a group exhibit featuring 26 artists whose work responds to environmental impacts 

on the Northwest. The natural environment is a large part of the region's aesthetic beauty as well as its 

resources. The dichotomy between awe-inspiring landscapes and the industrialization and population 

of the region raises awareness for many artists. The 

exhibit highlights work by artists from British Columbia, 

Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho. 

The range of approaches, media, points of view and 

results is quite varied and provides many perspectives 

from which to reflect. Curator Sarah Clark-Langager 

categorizes the major themes and underlying issues: 

mass production and consumption, waste management, 

preservation and sustainability, climate change, 

how sources of energy are changing the ecosystem, 

growth management and the dual-sided urban/rural 

conflict. Jana Demartini depicts an iconic bulldozer set 

against organic patterns, evoking the feeling of harsh 

machinery employed to break ground on new suburban 

developments that reduce open space and farm- 

land. Both Margaretha Bootsma and Steve Davis utilize 

imagery of colossal industrial plants to address pollution 

and decay. Chris Jordan’s photographs showing 

statistical quantities of discarded water bottles raise 

consciousness about American cultural habits.

Maria Entis: Nests, Eggs and the Empty Nest 

IAN TAN GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 10-29, 2010 Vancouver-based artist Maria Entis has gradually 

shifted her artistic style from hyper-coloured abstractions and mixed media pastiches of paint, 

patterned papers and foil to more recognizable organic imagery. The images in this exhibit are also 

single compositions rather than experimentations with 

divided canvasses. There is no sign of the Japanese 

script that characterized earlier artworks. Nests, Eggs 

and the Empty Nest is more derivative of paintings by 

Stefany Hemming (with the addition of eggs, and without 

the same conceptual rigour). 

Painted “from her heart and life”, the images of 

nests and eggs in this exhibit express her feelings of 

becoming an “empty nester” with her children grown 

and leaving home. The works are meant as personal 

expressions of her thoughts about life and death, birth 

and departure, with nests filled then abandoned: the 

“primal stable circle”, as she describes it. She writes 

that the eggs signify fertility, birth and growth, as well 

as a lifetime of possibility and adventure. 

Maria Entis was born in Yokohama, Japan and 

moved to San Francisco at the age of ten. She attended 

consider historical and contemporary 

events related to aboriginal peoples as 

subjects in relation to the individual 

and his/her representation. .

Monster 

WEST VANCOUVER MUSEUM, WEST VANCOUVER BC – through May 8, 2010 Monster is a group 

show of contemporary artworks that brings together myths and legends from many cultures — Inuit, 

Kwakwaka'wakw and Chinese, among others. 

Artists have long used graphic depictions of anthropomorphic 

and animal forms as metaphors to address 

social, sexual and political issues. In fields as diverse 

as applied design, film, literature and art, “monsters” 

make concrete the battle between good and evil. 

Darrin Morrison, curator of the West Vancouver 

Museum, appeals to the collective mind with a selection 

of artworks that play on our fears of both the 

known and the unknown. The images confront our 

anxieties and doubts; our belief in ghosts, spirits and 

aliens; and underscore the realities of torture, murder 

and bestiality. From comical to surreal, from fantastic 

to atrocious, the paintings and masks in the exhibit 

have been described as abounding with “man-eating 

demons, hair-pulling ghosts, wart-covered witches 

and black-tongued sea creatures”. 

Monster showcases paintings and masks by Cana- 

dian and international artists Shuvinai Ashoona, 

Shary Boyle, Lutz Braun, Beau Dick, Marcel Dzama,

WINCHESTER GALLERIES (OAK BAY), VICTORIA BC – Apr 11-May 1, 2010 Jeff Molloy is a Canadian 

artist whose work focuses on the cultural symbols of Anglophone Canada. As he puts it, "The Group of 

Seven made paintings of where we live, not who we are. I want to create work that tells the story of the 

people, the history, the iconic imagery and the leg- 

OLYMPIC 

SCULPTURE ends that are the fabric of this country". His imagery 

PARK 

has included hockey sweaters, country churches, 

moose, sheep and crows, and portraits of Prime 

Ministers wearing lumber jackets and buckskins. 

He is known for his creative use of such materials as 

burlap sacks and encaustic, and his fascination with 

LISA HARRIS 

erosion, surface texture, space and form. 

In A Canadian Portrait, Molloy’s paintings of 

Hudson's Bay blankets hanging from clotheslines 

are set against loosely-painted forest backdrops 

(with the odd tongue-in-cheek addition of a moose ART MUSEUM 

◆ 

meandering past). The paintings are reminiscent of 

Gathie Falk’s early pictures of dresses and chairs

Tom Fawkes: Recent Paintings 

Judith Poxson Fawkes: Water & Wind: Recent Tapestries 

LAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Apr 1-May 1, 2010 Painter Tom Fawkes and weaver 

Judith Poxson Fawkes met at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan during the 1960s. They 

moved to Oregon to pursue teaching positions and have both become highly accomplished artists. 

This is the first exhibition of this husband and wife couple at the Laura Russo Gallery. 

Tom Fawkes is interested in places of culture and history. The exhibit shows scenes of lightfilled 

Southern Mediterranean landscapes from his travels to Portugal and the ruins of Pompeii.The 

immaculate renderings are in the 

style of trompe l’oeil with modelled 

surfaces that are built up using glazes. 

The illusionistic paintings are captivating 

in their realism. With acute 

technical skill, he depicts manicured 

and aged European gardens with soft 

light falling on forms. 

Judith Poxson Fawkes’ tapestries 

Tom Fawkes, Jardim Botanico do Porto-Parterre (2009), acrylic on wood panel 

[Laura Russo Gallery, Portland OR, Apr 1-May1] 

are created with linen through a double 

weave process that yields beautiful 

and mesmerizing results. In her 

latest works, Poxson Fawkes moves 

away from distinct representation. Instead, she captures patterns of movement that reference wind 

and water. In some of her recent pieces, three-dimensional shapes emerge from the woven surfaces 

to suggest the fluidity of boat forms floating on water. The process of weaving is innately structured 

and geometric. The colourful intersections of weft and warp lines activate the tactile surfaces as 

Poxson Fawkes’ dynamic designs embrace their rhythmic interactions. Allyn Cantor 

over 20 local artists, including professional, 

new and emerging. All works presented 

are made from 75% or more 

recycled materials. Proceeds from sales 

go to support the arts in our community.

The Arts & Crafts Movement in the Pacific Northwest 

NORTHWEST MUSEUM OF ARTS & CULTURE, SPOKANE WA – through Jun 26, 2010 The Arts and 

Crafts Movement originated in Victorian England as a response to ornate style and a reaction to the 

rise of poor quality consumer goods. Artist and writer William Morris, one of the founders of the late 

19th century design movement, spread the ethos of pride 

in craftsmanship, truth in materials, and living with beautifully 

crafted domestic designs, both weather-functional 

and decorative. 

In America these ideals spread and evolved, with the 

addition of unique influences from Native American and 

Spanish Colonial designs from California and the Southwest. 

The Arts and Crafts philosophy flourished in the 

Pacific Northwest in the first decade of the 20th century 

and well into the 1920s, as can be seen by architecture of 

the period prevalent in many neighbourhoods in Portland 

and Seattle. 

This major travelling exhibition includes characteristic 

furniture, metalwork, ceramics, textiles, stained glass, 

photography, graphics, illustrations and more. Immaculate 

pieces such as an elegant and utilitarian sterling silver 

water pitcher and a table lamp with fine intricate cut-out 

patterning are quintessential examples of American-made 

wares that were represented in shops and department 

stores in Northwest cities. Hundreds of objects, prints and
