Grego Rachko: Voices in Other Rooms
Eric Kolbe: Colorspace
December 14th – February 6th
Artist Reception: January 11th 5-9 pm
Using acrylics to create saturated abstract
works of art, one will look at the painting and hopefully feel some kind
of connection or will be drawn to the colors themselves. There are really
no recognizable features in the art, except for the Abstract Flowers and
Color Stretch series of my work. It’s primarily color without borders
intended to create a visceral response. There are daily activities that
stimulate the brain chemically. Smells that bring you back to when you
were a child. Tasting something you remember from your most favorite
dish or meal. Seeing a loved one, or beautiful architecture, or painting
that truly makes you think and maybe cry.

Jonathan Happ currently lives and works in Seattle, WA. He received his BFA from Iowa State University and his MFA from the University of Washington.
