Followup to Kelly Neidig's “Introductions 2010” Group Show at Seattle Art Museum (SAM) Gallery... (by Joe, Eloy Art)
...under a cloudless sky, Seattle shined a light on the SAM Gallery 'Introductions 2010' group show of newly-acquired artists! The line-up for this show is impressive, to say the least.
Mrs. Elroy and I began the evening with a quick visit to the SAM a block away to see the Calder exhibit, and need to go again when we have more time - love that Calder! And before heading over to see Kelly and her art in 'Introductions 2010', we paused to imbibe on Happy Hour fare from the knowledgeable barkeep (he will deny this accolade), Duncan, at the in-house Taste restaurant... Enjoyed the great experience so much so that we returned with Kelly and her husband Scott for another round after the show! Go see Duncan for a drinking lesson from a man who knows how to do it right...
Walking towards the SAM
Gallery, we were delightfully surprised to see that 2 of Kelly's large paintings are displayed prominently in the huge windows facing 3rd at the corner of University! And also in the entry foyer are 3 more Neidigs...what an honor!SAM Gallery Director, Barbara Shaiman, definitely brings value to the Gallery with her fine eye for talented PacNW artists who are 'sellable' to her clients of corporate and individual art patrons... I learned from a nice chat with her that Barbara is an artist by training, and has polished her curatorial chops with over 20 years of working with SAM! She is a charming, delightful woman who's depth of knowledge of the art scene makes me truly look forward to my next SAM Gallery visit!
Other art includes the works on paper and illuminated window installation art of Julie Alpert, the organic imager
y of Robin M. Green, James Brown, Emily Pothast (whose beautiful 'Synergy' is featured on the show poatcard), Joey Veltkamp's striking monochromatic flowers, Kimberly Trowbridge, and Kerry Vander Meer's gorgeous colorwork...So make your way down to the windows of the SAM Gallery this month and peek inside at Kelly Neidig's work...it'll draw you in to a world of fantastic PacNW art, and you'll be the better for it...
