AMcE Creative Arts is delighted to present Locally Sourced, a group show featuring 13 emerging and established Seattle-based artists of varying media including painting, collage, glass, photography, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media.
Artists include Alfred Harris, Brandon Vosika, Debra Broz, Eve Cohen, Jacob McLean, Maayan Haim, Morgan Madison, Mary Anne Carter, Nina Vichayapai, Robert Hardgrave, Sean Hennessey, Vander McClain, and Weston Lambert
A few of the artists, including Debra Broz, Robert Hardgrave, and Vander McClain, are part of the growing AMcE roster. For the other exhibiting artists, this is their first showing in the space.
The show does not purport a theme, but themes do emerge between works providing an intriguing unification to their collection. Some works share a reimagining or deconstruction of figuration, exampled in both two- and three-dimensions. Other works have a shared wit, quirkiness, and dash of play. As the participating artists span generations, the show offers touchpoints for various art movements – pop, minimalism, and surrealism among them – and reflect energies of the 70’s, 80’s and a smidge of the early 90’s. There are nostalgic intimations that reflect a comforting remembrance absent any cloying sentimentality. The works are more chatty than austere, and their assembly makes for a lively conversation.
