GALLUS GALLUS @ Fancy + Pants
August artwork at Fancy + Pants

GALLUS GALLUS
(which means chicken in latin) the roosters are based on a traditional garden gate design. These hand cut
wood roosters reference a time in Holland's youth when such big black roosters hung over
both her mother and grandmother's stoves. This traditionally masculine symbol became a
powerful female icon in her family and home and represents a nostalgic embrace of rural
Midwestern life.

Theo Chocolate- Seattle photographer Joe Clark discovers art in the reflective glass buildings of many different cities. His collection of images from Seattle, Washington reveal a view of the city not normally seen. The photographs are of naturally occurring distortions, with no modification. These patterns and illusions are products of the buildings and objects themselves, framed with an artists' eye. The "curtain wall" of glass in modern buildings provides an opportunity to capture abstract art. Joe Clark travels in search of reflections. His work challenges the viewer to look beyond the hard surfaces in our lives to find beauty and motion. Color and playfulness are a big part of Joe's work, and he searches for fleeting moments when light and reflection illuminate the art surrounding us. (3400 Phinney Ave N.)

Urbanweeds presents John Mayo explores both form and space while utilizing both ancient and modern design to create his wood and steel sculptures. Mayo is particularly drawn to forms of fish, birds and vessels. He notes that these forms have evolved under the requirements of motion, speed, and efficiency leading him to strive to express his enthusiasm for them through his sculpture. (4302 Fremont Avenue N.)

ADVENTURES IN WELTSCHMERZ: COMIC ART BY PAUL HORNSCHEMEIER
Dear friends,
Please consider attending this fine event this weekend!
FANTAGRAPHICS BOOKS PRESENTS:

"ADVENTURES IN WELTSCHMERZ:
COMIC ART BY PAUL HORNSCHEMEIER"
Fantagraphics is proud to celebrate the release of Chicago artist
Paul Hornschemeier's long-awaited graphic novel, THE THREE PARADOXES,
with a month-long exhibition of Hornschemeier's artwork and an
opening night reception with the artist at the Fantagraphics
Bookstore & Gallery in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood on Saturday,
August 4th, beginning at 6PM.

The exhibition is titled "Adventures in Weltschmerz." The exhibition
includes original pages from The Three Paradoxes as well as work from
Let Us Be Perfectly Clear, the short stories collection published by
Fantagraphics in 2006. Hornschemeier's work is defined by its formal
experimentation and emotional tone, weaving interconnected visual
styles, playing with traditional comic book tropes, and using color
as a crucial narrative tool. All of these devices are used to bolster
his emotional & philosophical concerns in a fairly direct, though
subtle, manner.

The writer JONATHAN LETHEM states, "Hornschemeier doesn't resolve the
tension between the ironic and confessional poles in his work, he
exploits it. Beautifully. The result hums with brilliance." The
public is invited to meet this extraordinary artist at a festive
receiption on Saturday, August 4 from 6:00 to 8:00PM. Admission is free.
When at the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, check out new arrivals
from Fantagraphics Books and our expanded stock of classics, foreign
translations and alternative comics from like-minded publishers.
We've added books from from publishers like Last Gasp and Drawn &
Quarterly, and familiar favorites like Tintin and other classics!
WHAT: "Adventures in Weltschmerz: Comic Art by Paul Hornschemeier"
WHEN: Opening reception Saturday, August 4, 6:00 - 8:00PM.
Exhibition continues through August 29, 2007.
