Global Art Venue is
proud to announce it's representation of noted Lebanese artist Victor
Haddad in the month of September. Victor is very well known for
his work in Europe and of course the Middle East. This will be the
first exhibit of his work here in the US. Victor's work with oil on
canvas is very modernist with a very fine twist of Art Deco. All of
Victor's work is like a history lesson. He focuses on Mythology,
Legend, and the History of the Mediterranean region. His oil work
almost looks like pastels, the colors are very soft or often quite
brilliant. The imagery of his pieces will take your breath away. They
are filled with subtle symbols and metaphors that allow you to get lost
in the work. All images of the artists work can be seen in his
section of the website.

"Everyday that I go
into my studio I can feel again that is a search of which we hold
sacred in life. All these searches took me to start exploring the
contents of my own inner world and the observations from nature.
My way of working is always experimental and is based in my human
figure drawings. For me the line holds all the structure of the
painting and communicate the specific idea and energy. I always
think in my work as a realistic painting, even if you dont see anything
realistic. Because many times is a view from the molecular and
atomic world, that through many successive layers of paint, transforms
into the final image. My artwork relates to experience and
action, but not with description. They are not tales of static
images, but an
interpretation of movements and states of consciousness."
Felipe Oyarzún Eichholtz.

Two great glass
artists that did glass for the wall. Sasha does fascinating abstract
fused glass pieces that are a delight to the eye with wonderful colors
and images. Tim`s new medium of Encaustic (beeswax) on glass ushers in
a new era in the use of encaustic. In combination with various types of
glass you will find the images mesmerizing. For a new look for your
walls, be sure to consider these art forms as they first become
available.

Global Art Venue is
proud to feature the paintings of Per Fronth and Clay Sneller for the
month of February. Per Fronth, from Norway, is both a seasoned
professional artist and photojournalist who brings a fascinating body
of work to the gallery. His unique artistic medium of Photo
transfer and oil on canvas allows the supposed portrayal of truth found
in photography to be manipulated by pure creative license when combined
with paint. Clay Sneller, an emerging artist from Ohio, is
showing for the first time in Seattle. His soft, skillful use of
color and light to instill a particular mood in each scene is
remarkable. If you haven't had a chance to see the work yet it
will be hanging until the end of the month, or please have a look at
their artist sections on our website if you are not able to make
it. Also new to the gallery is glass artist Richard Spaulding
whose architectural glass has been commissioned throughout the United
States in locations ranging from private residences to the Mid
Manhattan Library.

Tali Dalton creates
graceful glass
sculptures
that intertwine vertically and seem to defy gravity. Dalton's glass
couples remind the viewer of lovers dancing to a soft ballad or close
friends embracing after a long time has passed.
Robert Wynne's precise
wheelcutting and brilliant iridescent glass
create a contrast in his work of hard lines against soft finishes. He
explores "contrast, tension and the natural beauty of glass." Notably
his "Shimmer Bowls" appear to be woven baskets however are solid blown
glass.
Liang Wei's recent
landscapes give us a unique insight to his
perspective of Washington State. His lively palette and charming
details, strike a contrast between real and make believe. Wei carefully
sets the scene for the viewer, allowing one to relax and dream.

Surface
Long time friends and
colleagues, Brian
Hirst and Roslyn Kean work in two very different mediums,
but their work begs to be viewed together.
Roslyn Kean's main
form of expression is
Japaneese Woodblock on paper. However, her approach is unique to the
media, she introduces gold and silver leaf and extensive maniuplation
to the surface. Kean's geometric patterns become puzzles that
fit together and entice the viewer.
Brian Hirst's lavish Bowl forms pay homage to
ancient Japanese ceramic vessels. His attention to detail allow a
harmonious contrast between the inner and outer surfaces. Hirst's
handling of gold, silver and platinum combined with precise engraving
of the exterior produce a hypnotic affect.

Stanislaw Zoladz’s ability to work with watercolors
brilliantly communicates the experience of witnessing a fleeting,
scenic moment. Stanislaw believes that watercolors are a very
unreliable medium that can go its own way. That challenge gives him an
opportunity to develop as an artist. Stanislaw’s ability to work with
watercolors resembles a conductor; the colors are the musicians and
together they can make something wonderful. Zoladz displays recent
watercolors from his last United States visit.
The
Russian duo Viatcheslav and
Natalia Tchistiline continue their exploration into the classic
encaustic method. The Tchistiline’s
exhibit recent landscapes that
traditionally take their roots from Egypt. However, Slava Tch and
Natalia deliver paintings that- because of the encaustic media- are
able to break into the third dimension with textured glossy surfaces
and intense, pulsating colors of red, blue, and yellow. Each landscape
uses simplified forms and challenging hues yet ones imagination can
feel as if one is at home or has been there before.
Filipino
glass
artist, Michael Roco, exhibits his most recent wall, ceiling and
standing sculptural work along with his double “pods”.
Michael Roco's
continued fascination for rare and unusual plants and sea creatures is
prevalent. In this series Roco dares to use bursting hues and colors
inspired by each season with irridescent surfaces. Michael Roco's
sculptural work takes us “20,000
Leagues
Under the Sea”.
Korean Glass Exhibition
May 1,2004 to May 31,2004
In 2003, artist Jong Pil
Pyun's "Seaform" series introduced Global Art
Venue to Korean glass; and now, as the 2nd annual Korean Glass
Exhibition approaches, his work continues to inspire us as he boldly
takes chances and creates new possibilities in glass. The anticipated
exhibition allows Global Art Venue to work with some of the most
innovative glass artists who are known for their contemporary design
and technical proficency. As mentioned, the creative display will
feature work from Northern Korean artists Jong Pil Pyun, Sang Min Lee,
Kuho Han, Sung Hwan Hong & Hyung Jong Kim. Emerging students Ji Yea
Le & Jae-Sik Kim from Namseoul University in Korea also will
exhibit their glass works throughout the month.

Chinese calligraphy roots in one liberating exhibit of new work;

foot
binding and on to a more modern approach of stiletto heels in one

The
Neo-Iconography of Dr. T. F. Chen
May 1, 2003 to June 2, 2003
Global Art Venue is proud to represent the work of Dr. T. F. Chen; his
vision is of a "culture based on ‘Love’ instead of ‘Power,’ ‘Humanism’
instead of ‘Materialism,’ ‘Heart’ instead of ‘Machine,’ ‘Creation’
instead of ‘Production,’ and ‘Happiness’ instead of ‘Wealth;’ a culture
of ‘to love’ instead of ‘to have.’" We look forward to sharing Dr.
Chen’s Global New Renaissance with Seattle.

expectations fill the air.
