"The Unraveling" @ BLVD Gallery
BLVD Gallery is proud to present “ The Unraveling”, a show of new
works by internationally acclaimed stencil artist Logan Hicks. Known
for his hyper-detailed, meticulously hand cut stencils, Logan has
rocketed to the top ranks of his field with his borderline obsessive
approach to creating stencils. This labor intensive medium involves
cutting a separate stencil for each color, then layering each color
upon the next until the piece emerge. This technique can take hundreds
of hous to complete one piece. There is a consistent feel that
underlies Logans work. Each piece is an exercise in finding order in
chaos, and seeing beauty in the otherwise mundane. Logan’s
monochromatic work seems to slice time itself and freeze it on the
canvas. Art critic Felicia Fester observed “ Forget traditional
landscapes. Hick’s haunting black and silver images wrest noir beauty
from unexpected inner city locales". Logan’s work has been featured in
the Urban art documentary “The Run Up” as well as used by corporations
such as K-Swiss, Disney, Red Bull, and others to give their advertising
an urban feel.

Luis Sanchez, Lizz Lopez @ Roq La Rue Gallery
Roq La Rue Gallery
PresentsLuis Sanchez
Lizz Lopez
New paintingsOpens Friday March 9th 6-9pm
Runs through April 7th
Roq la Rue is pleased to present the work of two Southern California artists, Luis Sanchez and Lizz Lopez.
Luis Sanchez has returned to Seattle after moving to Los Angeles in 2002, and Roq La Rue is proud to display his new works in the city where he began his successful career. This show is a collection of work focusing on archetypal representations of the struggle between life and death. By integrating fresco, dry pigments, and acrylics Luis provides a method of painting on canvas, which is both unique and timeless. This technique gives one the feeling of peering through an external wall into the theatrical world of burlesque dancers, magicians, carnival performers, and anthropomorphic tricksters. This voyeurism is often reciprocated with a suggestive intensity, each painting's personae challenging the viewer either implicitly or with a direct stare. The characters and symbolism of the paintings coerce the viewer to shed their ego, and let go of expectations and assumptions affecting the most important aspects of life.
Lizz Lopez lives a life full of duality that is reflected in her art. A registered nurse by day, Lizz has worked in both hospice as well as critical care wards. At night, she lives in an artist’s community building, where amongst creativity is also the attendant ills such as addiction. These almost contradictory lifestyles Lizz juggles, and uses as a catalyst in her work. In this series the icon of the nurse reigns supreme. Portrayed in both an angelic and a devious light, these characters portray the conflicting emotions in dealing with human vulnerabilities. Mixed in the paintings are also images of blood, tattoo-like scripted text and flourishes, and allusions to nature, such as antler headpieces some of the subjects wear.

Filthy Beasts @ Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery
Hey folks, hope you can make it out to the DT's record release party
at our store this weekend (details below). It WILL rock, leave no
doubt. And it's free. Free rock. Rock free!Best,
ER-
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery and Georgetown Records Present
“Filthy Beasts,” featuring music by the DT’s and art by Jim Blanchard
on March 10.Please join us on Saturday, March 10 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM as
Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, in association with Georgetown
Records, host an evening of fine art and raucous rock n roll. “Filthy
Beasts” combines the CD release of the DT’s “Filthy Habits” recording
on the Get Hip label with an exhibition and signing of Jim
Blanchard’s “Beasts and Priests” title on Seattle’s Fantagraphics
Books imprint. This festive event is free to the public of all ages.
Georgetown Records and Fantagraphics Bookstore are located at 1201 S.
Vale. St., at the corner of S. Vale and Airport Way S. in the heart
of the Seattle’s historic Georgetown district.The Bellingham-based DT’s seamlessly blend elements of hard soul,
garage rock and raw punk to create an energetic and accessible sound.
The team of Johnny Sangster and Jack Endino, two of the primary
architects of the ubiquitous “Seattle Sound” of the 1990s, produced
“Filthy Habits.” This is the DT’s second long player on Get Hip. DT’s
guitarist Dave Crider is the proprietor of the Estrus record label,
who together with renowned graphic designer Art Chantry created a
collection of stunning garage-influenced LPs throughout the past
decade. Chantry contributed the introduction to Blanchard’s “Beasts
and Priests” book, and designed an exquisite poster for this event.
The DT’s will perform material from their new release, which will be
available on both CD and vinyl.Jim Blanchard, whose lovely wife Diana is the DT’s vocalist, has punk
rock credentials that date back to the early 80s, when he self-
published the influential fanzine “Blatch.” He has since contributed
finely crafted illustrations to countless books and magazines, in
addition to several comic books and related works published by
Fantagraphics Books, including “Bad Meat,” “Glam Warp,” “Trucker Fags
in Denial,” and most recently “Beasts and Priests.” His meticulously
rendered portraits of famous and infamous American pop culture
personalities are infused with both dramatic reverence and ironic
curiosity. Chantry concludes his preface to “Beasts and Priests” with
the declaration, ”Jim Blanchard is a master.” The exhibition of
Blanchard’s original artwork from “Beasts and Priests” continues
through March 21 at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery.A selection of imagery in a variety of formats is available for
publication. For additional information on the DT’s, please visit:
www.estrus.com/bands/dts. More information on Jim Blanchard can be
found at: www.jimblanchard.com. To arrange interviews with the
artists, feel free to contact Larry Reid, Fantagraphics Bookstore
Curator and Events Coordinator, at the numbers above.
