MARK REDISKE

levi tenente
May 6 - 22, 2021 

Mark Rediske's artwork is uniquely born of a complex process. It exudes a powerful yet quiet presence, a timelessness and organic quality. Often referencing mythical or ancient civilizations and geographic points, Rediske highlights our collective narrative and shared connection to the natural world. In this body of work Rediske explores a return to light, both figuratively and literally.

Says the artist "The last year has been an ordeal and a test of resolve to sustain hope, empathy and a reverence for beauty. [...]These paintings have a heightened sensibility of light and dark with the aspiration of light emanating through."

Rediske achieves an effect that gives his pieces a feeling of timelessness. Richly saturated hues are tempered by warm neutrals, rich blues and greens give way to  soft golds. A master of his craft, Rediske’s panels are flawlessly executed. There is a relief  in sharing space with his artwork; a calm, meditative quality extends from the pieces themselves, quietly inviting reflection and introspection.

APRIL 2021 | CASEY McGLYNN | LANDING IN THE CROW'S NEST

 

Casey McGlynn, Ex Bird, 2021, mixed media on canvas, 96 x 96 in.
CASEY MCGLYNN | LANDING IN THE CROW'S NEST
April 1 - 24, 2021

Casey McGlynn creates layered multi-media pieces with a focus on painting and collage. His honest creations pull from ongoing personal narratives and delve into intimate realities of his life and internal dialogue. Approaching sadness through humor and with penchant for all things punk, McGlynn's visual language is full of symbolism. Colors tend towards highly saturated, bright, and varied, with figurative elements outlined in black paint. In Landing in the Crow's Nest we see deep greens and blues offsetting neon oranges and pinks. Whales, turtles, horses and birds coalesce, a riot of forms and colors filling space.

These pieces teeter on the edge between distressed  and reflective; meandering through a collection of thoughts before ultimately returning to their starting point.

In this body of work, Landing in the Crow's Nest, McGlynn's starting point was the idea of returning to or finding home, landing in a place of healing. In this case, The Crow's Nest refers to McGlynn's new studio in Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. The title piece, imaged above, depicts the artist's mother's house, and above the compartmentalized structure, perches a bird. There is a sense that from its vantage point, the bird has landed, calmly, in a place of its choosing.

March 2021 | Tony Angell | Of Time and Place

 

 

Avian conservator and artist Tony Angell’s approach to art making has always centered around revealing not just the anatomical attributes of his subjects, but their unique characteristics, temperaments, and even the mood of the creatures he depicts. With this body of work, Of Time and Place, Angell takes it a step further, telling a complete story of a moment, allowing viewers to truly see beyond the creature into the a full narrative.
 
Best known for his stone and bronze sculptures, Angell has also created prints, drawings, and clayboard works in tandem with his three dimensional pieces. Of Time and Place consists completely of lithographs made over the last 35 years which Angell has revisited, hand-coloring each with pastels. “As I revisited each piece, I found myself more involved with the stories and what I could see in color. Color captures the attitude. Color invited me to do a lot more than simply interpret the form, design, and characteristics [of the birds]. The color gave me the opportunity to see the stories surrounding each subject, and the moment they were in.”
Pieces in the exhibition will range in size from 8 x 10 inches to 42 x 28 inches in size.
 

Tony Angell holds both a BA and MA in speech communication from the University of Washington, Seattle. Among other awards, he received the V&A Illustration Award and Overall Winner from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, for his work on In the Company of Crows and Ravens, written with John Marzluff.  Angell’s work has been featured in dozens of gallery and museum exhibitions across the United States, including the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, Wausau, WI; Museum of Northwest Art, La Connor, WA; and the Gilcrease Museum of Art, Tulsa, OK. His work can be found in many private collections and in public collections including  Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Museum of Wildlife Art, Jackson, WY; and Victoria & Albert Museum, London, UK.
