Wim BlomIAN TAN GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Through Sep 20The paintings of South-African born artist Will Blomshare numerous stylistic and aesthetic qualities ofimages by Canadian artists Alex Colville andChristopher Pratt. Like these well-known Maritimepainters, Blom’s work has a timeless and idealizedquality, with the same precise organization andexecution.Unlike Colville and Pratt, Blom focuses on theenvironment rather than the narrative. There is an air ofserenity, as though time is suspended. The cold flatsurfaces of architectural molding, the exactitude of floortiles, the calculated glimpses of rooms beyond -- allcontribute to a disquieting hyper-realism. Witheverything unessential removed and the emphasis onpreviewwww.iantangallery.comWim Blom, Blue Lamp (2006), oil on canvas [Ian TanGallery, Vancouver BC, through Sep 20]underyling geometry, the ordinary environments in the paintings take on an archetypal presence.Will Blom earned his early degrees in Johannesburg, South Africa, followed by studies at theUniversity of Edinburgh, University of Perugia, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and SanMiguel de Allende. His work is in numerous corporate and private collections in Canada, France,Great Britain, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa,Spain, Switzerland and the United States, as well as the National Gallery of Canada and the SouthAfrican National Gallery.

Lê, Crossing Paths (The Headless Buddha (1997), C-print and linen tape [Bellevue Arts Museum, Bellevue WA, Sep 1-Dec 30]BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Sep 1-Dec 30 Los Angeles artist Dinh Q. Lê is knownfor the large-scale woven photomontages featured in his first major survey, A Tapestry of Memories:The Art of Dinh Q at the Bellevue Art Museum. The exhibit encompasses works acquired by bothprivate and museum collections over the past 20 years, and includes two multichannel videoinstallations and two white-on-white embroideries in addition to his signature woven C-prints.Lê was born in Vietnam and his family immigrated to Los Angeles during his childhood. As aresult, his cultural and societal perspective fuses elements of both his Eastern and Westernexperiences. His images combine personal family photos, American pop culture icons andrepresentations that resonate with the tensions of the Vietnam War. Through an intense platingtechnique, Lê physically weaves together strips of photographic prints. His finished pieces arepoetic, cross-cultural tapestries, as much about craftsmanship as concept. Through this process hedissects and reorders preconceived histories and fabricates a potent new allegory in his works.Much of Lê’s imagery is focused on conceptions about the Vietnam War. He uses the reality ofphotojournalism as well as borrowed and digitally enhanced still shots from popular Hollywoodmovies like Apocalypse Now. Recontextualizing his subjects, Lê immaculately blends elements oftruth and fiction. His multilayered imagery brings forth a sophisticated milieu that is unique to hisdual Vietnamese and American identities.

From Yavneh’s abundant scribbles and sketcheson paper, which Liu describes as “a treasure trove ofmusical notes and amoebic forms,” Liu was inspired toconstruct three-dimensional sculptural forms in bronzeand fibreglass.The exhibit includes more than 30 sculpturestogether with Yavneh’s original doodle collages, plus a“Doodle Art Book” kit created by Liu and Yavneh. Thepages in the kit illustrate the sources of Liu’s inspirations.Yavneh’s sketches read like a psychoanalyst’s dream:rife with arrows, radiating shapes, concentric lines, sharkandsperm-like forms, boomerangs, vessels, trumpets, and wishbones among countless othersquiggles. Liu has brought various tiny pencil and pen shapes to life in forms ranging from a fewinches to four feet in height and width. Included are a 48-inch fibreglass amorphous shape coatedwith the translucent colour of auto paint; a delicate treble-clef structure with an antiqued bronzefinish; a harp shape pierced with a double-headed arrow; a tornado shape and an anchor-like verticalbronze sculpture 32 inches high, both highlighted with touches of flaking blue paint.

Shannon Belkin: Second NatureSeptember 6-22, 2007Opening reception Thursday, September 6, 6-8 pmDr. Lynn Ruscheinsky curates a new series of paintings byVancouver artist Shannon Belkin at Diane Farris Gallery.In Second Nature, Belkin continues her exploration of theintricate relationship between humans and nature. The newwork examines the rupture between the real and the virtualin our encounters with animals. Animals offer humans acompanionship which, being between two species, is differentfrom any offered by human exchange.Belkin’s new works are concerned with the ways our visuallysaturated, urban environment marginalizes our contactwith nature and especially our children’s understanding ofanimals. Focusing on the children’s toy industry – particularlyironic given the current recalls on toxic toys – herseries explores our increasing alienation from the naturalworld and its creatures, with which we were once deeplyand interdependently connected.Kirkuk, 2007, oil on canvas, 48 x 68 inches (top);Toy Horses Grazing, 2007, oil on canvas, 30 x 40inches (bottom left); Toy Clydesdales, 2007, oil oncanvas, 30 x 40 inches (bottom right)Shannon Belkin graduated in 1992 from Emily Carr College (now Institute) of Artand Design, and began exhibiting with Diane Farris Gallery in 1998. Her previousmajor body of work, "When Horses Were Gods" (2004) was inspired by equinemythologies from around the globe – from the Arabian, Etruscan and Babylonian toFinnish and Chinese. Her work has won international acclaim and is included innumerous collections.ADVERTISEMENTThe Fort Gallery9048 Glover Rd ✆604-888-7411www.fort gallery.cawed-sun 12-5pm Sep 5-23 LindaSiemens and Kaaizer Sethna, newwork; Sep 26-Oct 14 Susan Falk andKate Bradford****, new paintingsand stone sculptures; Oct 17-Nov 4Doris Auxier, new work.GABRIOLA ISLANDGabriola Arts CouncilGabriola Island ✆(250) 247-7409(250) 247-9882www.gabriolaartscouncil.orgfri-mon 10am-4pm, free admission.Oct 5-8 Thanksgiving weekend, free,self-guided tour of 60 studios featuring93 artists.

GALLERY VIEWSBY ANN ROSENBERGAn Amenity Bonus is a perk worth havingIn order to ensure that non-profit cultural societies can continue to be located in Vancouver’sexpensive downtown core, the City actively seeks to provide appropriate spaces through itsAmenity Bonusing program. In this program, which began in 1975, the City, in partnershipwith private developers, creates affordable cultural facilities and live-work studios at no costto taxpayers for approved associations that require them.On it’s part, the scheme often allows the developer to build additional storeys on a futureproject. The value of that ‘amendment’ is calculated by the City’s real estate department usinga “consistent pro forma analysis.” The developer must build a fully finished gallery or anothertype of specialized space equivalent in dollar terms to that amount and prepay twenty years ofthe space’s operating costs to the City.The City then secures the cultural amenity through a legal agreement which includes alease for the life of the building. A pre-determined non-profit society sublets the BonusedAmenity from the City for a nominal rent (typically utilities) with the condition that prior tosigning the sub-lease, the not-for-profit group has demonstrated an ability to raise funds. Iffeasible, before the deal is finalized, the cityencourages the association to start the endowmentfund that will be necessary to secure itsspace in future. Non-profit groups cannot takethe endowment fund with them if they decide tomove to a different space and no endowmentfund money will be theirs if the organizationceases to exist. Big bucks must be raised – atleast $400,000-600,000 – to grow the requiredtrust fund.The façade of the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver– you can’t tell a bonused amenity when you see onePerhaps because some groups in the past wereunable to gather enough money for theirendowments, the City now articulates conditionsfor Bonusing with absolute clarity. It emphasizes the participating association’s necessityof initiating the establishment of an endowment fund before or at the time they first occupytheir purpose-built premise.These days, the Contemporary Art Gallery at 555 Nelson Street and ArtStarts in Schools at873 Beattie Street are managing well under the pressure generated by the need to gather money.CAG director Christina Ritchie said that long before the anticipated move to the new BonusedAmenity gallery in 2001, her predecessor Keith Wallace made enormous efforts to provide fundsfor the move and the start-up of the Endowment Fund. Financial support came from individualsand corporations who wished to ensure the continuity of the institution’s service to the art community.ArtStarts Director Wendy Newman, whose non-profit group has been ‘in the program’since 1996, is also not afraid of ‘THE BIG E’ because she knows she is running something thatbusinesses and people will want to support. At ArtStarts there are exhibitions of childrens’ art thatresult from artist-taught in-the-schools programs throughout British Columbia. ArtStarts’ expanding‘virtual’ program is catching fire and attracting sponsorships like moths to flame.Next issue, the history of the Bonused Amenity that until 2004 was the home of the CanadianCraft Museum will be briefly examined and so will the “New Tax Credit Program” that isgenerating millions of dollars towards the construction of Portland’s future Museum of ContemporaryCraft.Ann Rosenberg is a Vancouver-based freelance curator, critic and author.26 PREVIEW

Peter AspellGALLERY JONES, VANCOUVER BC – Oct 2-30 Peter Aspell(1918 – 2004) was a much beloved painter born inVancouver, BC. Although Aspell is usually described as afigurative painter, his style ranged from the robotic to thesensuous, from pure abstraction to pictographic, withsaturated colours described by Gary Michael Dault as “alifelong sojourn in chromatic voluptuousness.”In his portraits and figures, Aspell distilled frommovement and expression “the hidden workings of thesoul.” His work is filled with historical and literaryreferences, allegories and myths, homages to artists likeMax Beckmann, Jean Dubuffet, Fernand Léger, FrancisPicabia and Pablo Picasso. They are, as Dault put it, “freshand fecund, sociologically and mythologically acute.” Attimes, the imagery is comedic and clown-like; at other,dark and haunting. He was a complete original whoinvented a repertoire of voices and symbolism. Joy, despair,lust, greed, exaltation – they run the gamut of humanexpression and experience. If his paintings were to talk,there would be a cacophony.previewwww.galleryjones.comPeter Aspell, The Little Clown (2003), oil on museumboard, [Gallery Jones, Vancouver BC, Oct 2-30]Aspell taught at the Vancouver School of Art between 1948-1970 and the Peter Aspell Schoolof Art from 1970–1978. His work is collected by the National Gallery of Canada, Hamilton ArtGallery, Imperial Oil Company Of Canada, Kelowna Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria,University of British Columbia and the Vancouver Art Gallery, among others.

previewwww.portlandart.orgAili Schmeltz, Molly Reilly, Stephanie Dotson: ConsolePORTLAND ART CENTER, PORTLAND OR – Oct 4-26 In Console, three female artists – AiliSchmeltz, Molly Reilly, and Stephanie Dotson – present a collaboration of their work. The threemet in 2006 as visiting assistant professors at Indiana University, and a common theme oftransience and place in their work hatched Console. AiliSchmeltz incorporates retro consumer materials andspeaks to the dualities inherent in the suburbanlandscape. Molly Reilly takes on objects discarded froma culture of excess and composes vignettes illustratingthe overwhelming sense of loss and familiarity with thephysical remains of a cultural memory. Stephanie Dostonexplores gallery installation, illustrative drawings anddecorative patterning with digital media.The installation in general focuses on the artists'personal histories in relation to the eerie landscape of achanging world that has been sculpted by consumerneeds and ideals. Unable to separate individual identityfrom the causes and effects of consumerism, Schmeltz,Reilly and Dotson use their installation as a tool forawareness while keeping the general attitude one ofplayfulness, humour and introspection.Aili Schmeltz uses warm and familiar materials likevinyl upholstery and polyester to conjure the nostalgiaof her 1970s upbringing. The obvious comfort andconvenience inherent in her sculptural works create aparody that forces viewers to question what is often seenas complacent in a suburban reality. Molly Reilly's quietphotographic work includes depictions of the Americancountryside to evoke a sense of home and place.Stephanie Dotson, Stormdetail, [Portland Art Center,Portland OR, Oct 4-26]Stephanie Dotson's visual strategy is rooted in a graphic, illustrative or design-oriented style. Withan element of whimsy similar to that found in Schmeltz's work, Dotson's organic forms andanimal motifs appear more concerned with the transient edifice of our contemporary outlook onthe natural world.

La Belle EpoqueVANCOUVER MUSEUM, VANCOUVER BC – Sep 13-Mar 23La Belle Époque, meaning “beautiful era”, describes theEuropean fashion period between 1890 and the outbreakof World War I in 1914. During this time, the rich andprivileged by birth experienced a time of extreme wellbeingand comfort that allowed new fashions to flourish.The silhouette of female fashion changed many timesduring the era, and fashion novelties came and went inspeedy succession.Parisian haute couture was mainly responsible for theemergence of trends that were quickly studied and copiedthroughout the Western world. Fashions of the periodincluded the Edwardian suit and the “Gibson Girl” look,the latter with embellished ornate blouses replete with pintucks, pleats, appliqués, insertions of lace and faggotingworn with gored, trumpet-like skirts, all designed for theactive, emancipated woman. The Edwardian silhouette,inspired by the designs of Paul Piret, featured empirewaistlines and slim, corseted silhouettes, round décolleténecklines and lavish jewellery.

RickRivet was born and raised in Aklavik, Northwest Territories. He spent his formative years on theMackenzie River Delta in a community that included Inuit, Indians, Métis and various peoples ofEuropean descent. In his paintings, he draws from hisexperiences of the diversity of Inuit, Indian and Métiscultures.Rivet’s work is influenced by other ancientshamanistic societies throughout the world,philosophical thoughts centred on ideas of the universalunconscious, and his interest in the art movements ofSurrealism and Abstract Expressionism. For Rivet, art isa meditative process, one that mirrors the shaman’sfunction as mediator between the spirit world and theworld of the human. Recurring themes in his paintingsinclude journeys through life, dreams, mapping andtransformation.Rivet has had extensive formal education with a BA fromthe University of Alberta (1969-72); BFA (Painting) fromthe University of Victoria (1976-80); MFA (Painting)from the University of Saskatchewan (1983-85); and BEdfrom the University of Saskatchewan (1985-86).

Practical Art History orConfessions of a Fine Art AppraiserChapter 11. The Case of Red Fish with Blue Breasts.Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of participating in an Antiques Road-show event tobenefit a local public art gallery. Among the many items I looked at was a coloured silkscreensigned “L. Bellefleur” in the plate .The work was in excellent condition, however, there was no indication of edition number,triage (total number of multiples) or artist’s signature (other than in the plate). This led me tosurmise that the work was probably not artist-made, but rather a commercially producedlimited-edition silkscreen.I recognized the work as a facsimile silkscreen ofCanadian artist Leon Bellefleur’s 1949 oil on canvaspainting entitled Red Fish with Blue Breasts(Poissons rouge aux seins bleus). It was purchased bythe National Gallery of Canada in 1953 from theGalerie Agnes Lefort, Montreal and has been in thenational collection ever since. The work wasexhibited at the Vancouver Art Gallery in the winterLeon Bellefleur, Red Fish with Blue Breasts50 PREVIEWof 1951 as part of a touring show entitledContemporary Painters of Quebec, which includedexamples of younger Quebec artists such as Riopelle, Gauvreau and Dumouchel.Bellefleur was heavily influenced by the work of the contemporary German/Swiss artist, PaulKlee, who was an avid fisherman and juxtaposed scientific and mystic imagery in his worksGolden Fish, Fish Magic and Around the Fish. The similarity of Bellefleur’s titles in thepaintings Red Fish with Blue Breasts and Fish in the City suggest an homage to the master.The imagery in Red Fish with Blue Breasts is suggestive of a collection of strange,otherworldly, and as yet undiscovered sea creatures, each isolated and placed in adjacentholding trays pending further study. The creatures appear to have suggestions of eyes, fins,wings, rudimentary skeletal systems, external bladders, mouths and teeth. The title may refer tohumanities’ need to describe, categorize and understand the unknown.This silkscreen was probably produced circa 1966 by the Markgraf brothers, who hadimmigrated to Canada from Germany in 1957 and set up printing facilities in Quebec. Over thecourse of several years, they were engaged by the National Gallery to reproduce Canadianworks in the national collection. The work was a continuation of a project, initiated some yearsearlier by the gallery’s involvement with the Sampson-Matthews printing company thatincluded silkscreen reproductions of many Group of Seven painters (some of whom hadworked at Sampson-Matthews), and their contemporaries. In 1966 the National Gallery listedthe price of Cat. No. NG41-99, the Poissons rouge aux seins bleus silkscreen, at $14.In a 2004 essay in the Journal of Canadian Art History, Joyce Zemans wrote: “In 1969 AnthonyEmery, Director of the Vancouver Art Gallery, described the Markgraf prints of contemporary art whichhad been created in partnership with the Canada Council. He praised their fidelity and compared their“brilliance” to what he deemed the “porridge and mashed-turnip-coloured [Sampson-Matthews]masterpieces squeegeed desperately through the silk-screens of the National Gallery during World WarII to give the nation’s defenders something to fight for or against.”In December 2004, a Vancouver auction house conducted a sale of silkscreens of the Groupof Seven and their contemporaries produced by Sampson-Matthews, realizing prices upwards of$2,500 each. Perhaps in the not too distant future similar prices for this far superior silkscreenmight also be realized.Next issue: The Case of A.Y.

Chris CharleboisKURBATOFF GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC –Sep 19-Oct 3 In paintings reminiscent insubject matter and style of Gordon Smith’srecent landscapes, British Columbia artistChris Charlebois creates intense webs oflacey foliage and branches, detailedpassages of grass and meadow and patchyglimpses of scumbled skies. The result isall-over compositions with networks offine interwoven brushstrokes.The paintings define the BritishColumbia landscape in a way that vistas ofpreviewwww.kurbatoffgallery.comChris Charlebois, Small and Broken (2007), oil on canvas [KurbatoffGallery, Vancouver BC, Sep 19-Oct 3]mountains and forests cannot capture: as an undertow of branches, bushes and underbrush seenonly on foot. He uses a muted palette to capture the dull greys, brown and greens of BC’s climateand vegetation during much of the year, and as a way to keep the focus on paint more thanrepresentation.Charlebois studied at Vancouver School of Art during the 1970s under the direction of artistsBruce Boyd and Don Jarvis, whose influences are keenly apparent. He is also inspired by Riopelleand Borduas. Over the years, his work has evolved into a kind of a nature-based abstraction. Heachieves his effects by painting with palette knives loaded with a mix of two, three or four colours.Charlebois frequently demonstrates his distinctive impressionistic techniques and shares hisvaluable insights at the Steveston Village Phoenix Art Workshops.

Conservator’s CornerAlum Sizing and the Art of W.J. PhillipsThis watercolour titled Docks, Alert Bay came tome in very sad condition, covered with a mottleddark brown discoloration. This type of damage isquite typical of certain alum-sized papers and isalso commonly found on the margins of Phillip’swoodblock prints. The question explored in thisarticle is “Why?”Alum has been used as an ingredient in papersizing for at least five hundred years in Europe,and even longer in the Orient. Very early on,papermakers discovered that adding alum totraditional gelatin sizing reduced problems withmold (alum is a biocide) and increased thefinished paper’s resistance to abrasion and water.The latter quality is especially important forthe watercolour artist. Without sufficient sizing,washes cannot flow over the paper, but sinkdirectly into the sheet, and the slightestreworking will rough up and mar a soft-sizedpaper’s surface. Watercolour papers are madewith these special needs in mind, but it was wellknownby artists that soft-sized papers not madefor painting could be brushed with additionalcoats of alum-water to improve their workingproperties.Phillips was very interested in the technicalaspects of his profession and would almostBY REBECCA PAVITTWWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COMcertainly have been familiar with the practice of sizing papers with alum. He was alsointroduced to the Japanese tradition of sizing woodblock printing papers with dosa – alum andgelatin solution – by the printer Yoshijiro Urushibara and he describes the method in detail inhis book, The Technique of the Color Woodblock, published in 1926.Docks was probably painted in 1927, when Phillips visited his sister in Alert Bay, with alumsizing fresh in his mind. It seems likely that Phillips alum-sized the paper to prevent rippling oruneven paint distribution, but why did the sizing undergo such extreme discoloration? Onepossibility is that these darker than normal discolorations are caused by the particular type ofalum used.True alum, aluminium potassium sulfate, was largely replaced by the much cheaper (andhighly acidic) aluminum sulphate or papermakers alum over the course of the 19th century.True alum can be highly refined and purified, removing contaminants such as iron.Papermakers alum cannot be purified to the same extent, and is often contaminated with ironand sulfuric acid, both highly detrimental to the health of paper. My guess is that artists likePhillips and some Japanese woodblock printers were working at the end of that change-over,and substituted papermakers alum for true alum, not realizing the difference it would make.Fortunately, it was possible in this case to safely remove most of the discolouration withchelating agents and a mild bleaching solution and with thorough rinsing by float washing andlocally applied water mist on a suction table.Conservator’s Corner articles are archived on-line at: www.preview-art.com.NEXT ISSUE: Conservator as art historian.Before treatmentAfter treatment64 PREVIEW

previewwww.artgalleryalberta.comKurt Schwitters: Collage Eye from the National GalleryART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Sep 8-Nov 4 Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) isconsidered to be the greatest master of collage in the 20th century. As a result of his bold and widerangingexperiments, he has been positioned as the grandfather of Pop Art, Happenings, ConceptArt, Fluxus, multimedia art and post-modernism. His massive and influential output wasultimately curbed by the advent of World War II, during which Schwitters first escaped to Norwayand later was interned as an enemy alien in Britain.Schwitters began making assemblages from scraps of refusein 1919. He cut four letters spelling “merz” from a word foundin an advertisement, and these letters became the conceptualdrive behind his work Merz was a comforting notion involvingthe delicate positioning of fragments of the world into newcombinations. His Merz work took him to the forefront of theEuropean avant-garde and into an alliance with new Dada artists.Over the next ten years, he experimented with Merz drawingsand collages, large Merz reliefs, sculpture, abstract drama andpoetry, cabaret, typography, multimedia art, body painting,music, photography, a Merzmagazine, an enormous architecturalinstallation using eight rooms of his Hanover house, andeventually an advertising agency. Schwitters died in England’sLake District shortly after beginning construction of a Merzbarn.The Art Gallery of Alberta exhibit of works by Schwitters andhis contemporaries shows his influence on contemporary artistsbeyond the borders of Germany in both their adoption of foundmaterials and their collage and assemblage techniques. Itconsiders Schwitters’ artistic legacy across the 20th century withselections from both the Canadian and international collectionsof the National Gallery of Canada.

Of Landscape and Light, beautifullycurated by Karen Henry, brings togetherlandscape photographs from several series of work exploring notions of place, time and light inphotography. Angelucci dissects these concepts both technically and in association with meaningand memory by constructing intentionally flawed and fragmented photographs.Her practice include using double exposures, shooting with toy cameras, leaking light into thecamera while shooting, or allowing light to leak onto the negative during processing. The elegantand evocative pictures contain layers of suggestive imagery that are both controlled and the resultof unintentional patterns, colours, textures and over-exposures.Sara Angelucci earned a Master of Fine Arts at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design anda BFA and a BA at the University of Guelph. She has been the recipient of many awards for herinnovative photography and video work. Of Landscape and Light is Angelucci’s first exhibit inBritish Columbia after showing for years in Ontario, Manitoba and Nova Scotia. Her videos havebeen screened across Canada and included in festivals in Europe and Hong Kong. In 2004,Angelucci had a five-year survey of her work at the MacLaren Centre in Barrie, and in 2006completed an artist residency in Shanghai, China. She is currently the Director of Toronto’s Gallery44 Centre for Contemporary Photography and has been a photography instructor at the OntarioCollege of Art and Design since 2001.

An-My Lê: Small WarsHENRY ART GALLERY, SEATTLE WA– Aug 18-Nov 4 An-My Lê cameto America in 1975 as a refugeefrom the Vietnam War. Hertravelling exhibition, Small Wars isa reflection of the wars that haveshaped the last half century inAmerica; the war in Vietnam andthe current war in Iraq andAfghanistan. Composed from twodifferent series of photographs, Lêdoesn’t document the actual war inIraq – she was denied permission.Her eloquent black and whitephotos capture reenactments andrehearsals of war, giving the term“theater of war” a new meaning.previewwww.henryart.orgAn-My Lê, 29 Palms: Marine Palms [detail] (2003-2004), gelatin silver print[Henry Art Gallery, Seattle WA, Aug 8-Nov 4]At a military base located in the California desert where soldiers train before being deployed Lêcaptures fictional accounts of war that appear to be documentary. In this series 29 Palms (2003-present), named after the military base, vistas of the American landscape dominate over themilitary activity that is her subject. This approach mirrors the sanitized perspective of the Iraqiwar that is filtered into the American public and makes one question the authenticity of suchseemingly objective media coverage.In contrast, the graphic terrors of the Vietnam war were largely broadcast into American eyes,creating an iconic remembrance of the horrific events. Lê’s Small Wars series (1999-2002) depictsmen who reenact battles from Vietnam in the forests of Virginia. Some are veterans and some arehistory buffs: Lê is sensitive to the complex psychology of what motivates these men and crafts herimages without any parody. Rather, Lê’s pictures resonate with perception about how a war isremembered, examining the premise of accurate experience and corporeal histories.

Thomas Wood: VeneziaLISA HARRIS GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Sep 6-29 Washington artist Thomas Wood's work is inmany prominent collections, including the New York Public Library, the Portland and Tacoma ArtMuseums, and the Il Bisonte School of Graphic Arts inFlorence, Italy. Wood spent last fall and winter working inVenice, Italy to create pieces for his latest exhibition.Venezia includes paintings, prints, and a small group ofglass vessels done in collaboration with Venetian glassmaster Alberto Striulli.Wood's representations of the Italian city were paintedplein air at dusk with a deep moody palette, giving thepieces a heightened sense of romanticism. Architecturalfeatures give way to interesting characters and unsuspectedsituations create a sense of wonder and intrigue. Thepaintings seem like imaginary landscapes that reinvent hisexperiences through a surreal eye that is more often foundin Wood's detailed print work. This is especially true inpieces like Bouquet with Pigeon, where curious creaturesemerge from the exaggerated floral arrangement, or VeneziaBouquet, where the fantastic flowers are larger than lifeagainst a backdrop of buildings and waterways. Some ofWood's recent prints, like Blue Putto and Tadpole OverVenice, also refer to the lore of Venice.One of the most impressive pieces in the show is Thepreviewwww.lisaharrisgallery.comThomas Wood, Bouquet with Pigeon (2006), oil oncanvas [Lisa Harris Gallery, Seattle WA, Sep 6-29]Pollinators. This delicate etching and engraving with aquatint took the artist three years tocomplete.
