BURN RUBBER
Burn Rubber highlights Lockwood Dennis’ keen eye for the iconic shape of the 1930s and 40s motor vehicle. Dennis looked to express humor and beauty within the form and function of everyday life. By placing these classic beauties in nostalgic Seattle scenes, he invites viewers to slow down in a world that is constantly speeding up.
HIDDEN GEMS
Hidden Gems welcomes summer with a celebration of Robert Connell’s simple imperative. Connell is known for his plein-air paintings that utilize sumi ink and gouache on paper. His works are made on location, in the open air, where the light is real and the scene is unrehearsed. These are not grand destinations; they are the kinds of places you pass on a bike ride, a long walk, a detour taken without a plan. Grounded in observation, but luminous with interpretation, each piece carries the feeling of a moment truly inhabited. Join us as we follow Connell’s guidance to go outside and look more closely.
MOVING AS ONE
Moving As One brings together a selection of Tetsuo Aoki's woodblock prints that trace the tender, sometimes fleeting moments of modern human encounters. Aoki's graphic style is built on clear, bold shapes with an economy of shadow. His figures, rendered through the tactile labor of the woodblock, repeat and echo across the picture plan to serve as a reminder that no gesture, no crossing of paths, belongs to just one person.
The vibrant, expressive forms in Aoki's prints pulse with the joy of proximity. Whether figures are moving together or drifting past one another, they share a visual language which suggests that beneath our individual trajectories, we are made of common stuff. His use of repetition is not mere pattern, it is argument. We recur in one another. We rhyme.
DISTANT SUNS
The Many Worlds of Carol Summers
We are deeply honored to represent the estate of this beloved West Coast artist. Carol Summers is known as the pioneer of "monumental" woodcut prints with a unique method of bleeding pigments into porous paper which create an intense watercolor appearance. He is featured in notable public collections including The Museum of Modern Art (New York), The Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), The National Gallery of Art (Washington, DC) and The Art Institute of Chicago.
FROM HERE, ANYWHERE
From Here, Anywhere is a survey of works by artists formerly represented by Davidson Galleries with a focus on nature and architecture; stability, balance, and growth. It collects works that explore our ability to look forward and inward at once.
