www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 11 www.elliottlouis.com Andrew Tong: So It Goes ELLIOTT LOUIS GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 7-25, 2009 Andrew Tong is a British-born and schooled artist whose surreal images simultaneously project innocence and horror. With children in the foreground of the majority of his paintings, Tong delivers suspenseful narratives of war. As he puts it, “The central characters in this body of work face hostility and desensitization on a journey where the destination is increasingly uncertain.” Many of the dream-like scenes are filled with child-like drawings, scribbles and splashed paint. Tong draws heavily on his personal history for the antique feeling they convey. Both parents were active in WWII – his mother at a munitions factory and his father as an anti-aircraft gunner in the British Navy. Old-fashioned gas masks, toy soldiers, rockets, burning cars and weaponry figure prominently. They signal the end of innocence and an immersion in an apocalyptic future. The title So It Goes, a reference to Kurt Vonnegut’s book Slaughterhouse Five, is intended to summon a sense of fatalism. Andrew Tong, Our Day Out (2008), oil on panel [Elliott Louis Gallery, Vancouver BC, Some of Tong's adult characters were inspired by people on the Apr 7-25] wrong side of the law, or infamous for their "careers", and some were known personally to the artist (including family members). At the same time, the images have elements of hope and even humour. Painting with oil on canvas or panel in a meticulous style, Tong suggests that we might just arrive at our destination safely.

www.artgalleryalberta.com POLAROIDS: Attila Richard Lukacs and Michael Morris ART GALLERY OF ALBERTA, EDMONTON AB – Mar 7-May 18, 2009 Attila Richard Lukacs is well- known internationally for his dramatic paintings of the Berlin sub-cultures of skinheads and neo- Nazism during the late 1980s and his portraits of American military cadets during the early 1990s. His brutally explicit paintings of male skinheads, primates and American military cadets shocked and provoked a generation of painters and critics. Over the past twenty years, Lukacs has taken thousands of Polaroid photographs as studies for his work. POLAROIDS presents more than 3,000 of these photos. They have been selected, organized and grouped into grids by Lukacs’ long- time mentor, friend and fellow artist Michael Morris. Morris was present in Berlin for almost every photo shoot. The assembled images have a rhythmic and poetic sensibil- ity well-suited to the graphic immediacy of the individual pictures. The grid structures provide a visual framework that T S I offers an extraordinary view into Lukacs’ study of the human T R A

Hughes: The Man and His Work is part of a series of events in honour of Vancouver Island artist Dr. E. J. Hughes (1913-2007). Hughes was a recipient of many honours, including the Order of Canada and numerous honourary doctorates. His engaging depictions of coastal British Colum- bia characteristically show scenes of ferries, wharves, tugboats and windswept beaches. The exhibit at the Nanaimo Art Gallery opens in conjunction with the City's dedication of the recently restored mural, Captain Malaspina Sketch- ing the Galleries of Gabriola. Painted by Hughes in 1938, it measures 9 by 17 feet. The mural was removed in six sections in 1996 from the Malaspina Hotel and 13 years later has been pro- fessionally restored and installed in the Vancouver Island Conference Centre. The focus of this exhibit will be on Hughes' studio practice. Approximately 40 drawings and paintings of the geographic area from Nanaimo to the Cowichan Valley. At the same time as the gallery exhibit, the E. J. Hughes, Breaker Beach (1961), oil on canvas [Nanaimo Art Gallery, Downtown Location, Nanaimo BC, May 15-Jun 7] Nanaimo Museum will present "E.J. Hughes, Works in Progress" featuring 'cartoons', sketches and developmental work relating to some of the exhibit pieces. An Educational Symposium is also being presented by the Museum in association with Vancouver Island University. Following the unveiling of the mural on May 14, there will be a premiere of a documentary E.J. Hughes: The Restoration by Cinnabar Vista Productions and a preview of Hughes’ NAG downtown exhibit.

His impeccable technique reveals a wealth of detail and texture in narrative drawings worthy of the most suspenseful mystery novel. A disembodied trench coat, impenetrable sunglasses, a coiled length of rope and a menacing Swiss army knife compete as clues along with bicycles, roses, a cheerful pink poodle and topiary displays. The series Tableaux Printemps includes eight mixed-media pieces using dry colour pastels, and four black and white ink drawings. The mixed media pictures have the playful colouring of Peter Max while the drawings are darker and more dense, with impecca- bly detailed subjects of mechanical engineering and draftsman- ship. A common unifying theme is Dennison’s mischievous use of John Dennison, Le Café Marais (2009), spatial relationships and optical illusions. dry colour pastel, pen and ink on paper, Dennison studied fine art at the Vancouver School of Art (now [Diane Farris Gallery, Vancouver BC, Apr 2-18] the Emily Carr University of Art and Design) between 1968 and 1971, where he majored in photography, commercial art and design. He worked as a freelance photographer before taking a full-time position with the advertis- ing department of a major company. All the while he has drawn inspiration from his extensive travels in England, Europe, and America. Tableaux Printemps is Dennison’s third solo exhibition with Diane Farris Gallery.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 21 GALLERY VIEWS BY ANN ROSENBERG

MOA is moving with the times without losing its WOW!

The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia is one of Canada’s foremost museums – its reputation based, in part, on its Northwest Coast collections and decades-long collaborative approach in working with First Nations and other cultural communities. According to Jennifer Webb, Communications Manager of the Museum of Anthropology, $55.5 million worth of improvements will have renewed and expanded the institution’s capacities for research, teaching, community outreach and public enjoyment by 2010. A new research wing has already dou- bled the institution’s physical space and a unique digital network that links many diverse communities is in development.

What changes in Vancouver Architect Arthur C. R E Y A M Erickson’s renowned 1976 edifice were revealed to the N E K

public when MOA opened its doors on March 8 after O T O H being closed for six months? P MOA’s Communications Manager Webb took me on a walkabout. She showed me the unfinished stair- way down to the museum’s main entrance from the road and the new Welcome Plaza, future locations of two First Nations artworks commissioned for this part of the grounds. She described one object wrapped in a protective covering as an unfinished water feature by the Direction 7 collective – a group comprised princi- pally of members of the Becker family who live nearby at Musqueam. She also indicated where a mosaic-style artwork by Musqueam artist Susan Point will be embedded in the concrete just outside the museum’s entrance. First Nations protocol requires that special honour be given to the First Nation upon whose lands the Uni- versity of British Columbia and the Museum of Anthro- John Marston panel pology are built. Thus it is appropriate that works by Musqueam artists are the first to greet visitors when they arrive at MOA. This fact might also explain why the cedar doors carved in 1976 by four master Gitxsan artists from Hazelton (which were present in Erickson’s original exterior) have been brought inside where they now flank the entrance to MOA’s greatly expanded shop in the west side of the foyer. Even before crossing the threshold, the view through the thick glass doors of the main entrance entices one down the carpeted slope to The Great Hall, where the huge frontals and totems of the original collection are ensconced. Finally, the eye yearns for release in the panorama of the sea and distant mountains. My body always follows the space's powerful directives and there are always new acquisitions to discover. On exhibition at the moment, is a two-sided carved sculpture (which is accompanied by an instructive DVD) by Coast Salish artist John Marston which features a B.C. orca on one side and a Papau New Guinea crocodile on the other. TATAU: Samoan Tattooing and Global Culture an exhibit of 40 photos by New Zealand artist Mark Adams, is installed in Gallery 3 adjacent to the Great Hall. This show (like the Marston piece) is an example of the Museum’s commitment to further- ing understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. I look forward to the moment in 2010 when the specially designed visible storage cases are filled, the new exhibition rooms are in use – indeed, to the time when all aspects of the Partner- ship of the Peoples Renewal Project are complete – to write a final short article on the evolution of a progressive institution. . Correction: In the Gallery Views column in the Feb/Mar 2009 issue, the Communications Manager for the Museum of Anthroplogy was misquoted. The MOA will have increased its size by almost 50% by March 2009, not 2010.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 25 www.bau-xi.com Ken Wallace: Reflections BAU-XI GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – May 9-23, 2009 Ken Wallace is a Vancouver painter with a confident and assured style. His recent images of ponds and vegetation are reminiscent of the voluptuous and rhythmic approach of Arthur Lismer, who identified closely with the uncivilized landscape of northern Canada. Like Lismer, who often sought the meaning of nature in the human subconscious by painting hypnotic views of underbrush, Wallace conjures up what he describes as “representations of the idea of nature for contemplation.” In 2000-2001 Wallace began looking more at “foreground” than at landscape. These richly-coloured new paintings brilliantly convey the nuances of foliage, shrubbery, wind and reflections in dense, saturated images of imaginary ponds and inlets. The subject matter is a good fit with his expressionistic brushwork, and the paintings are, quite literally, gor- Ken Wallace, Vandusen Inlet #4 (2009), acrylic on canvas [Bau-Xi Gallery, geous. Vancouver BC, May 9-23] Ken Wallace attended the Alberta College of Art and the Banff School of Fine Arts. He graduated with honours in animation and painting from the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art + Design) in 1973. He has been teaching at Emily Carr University since 1980, where he is an Associate Professor in Visual Arts. His work has been in numerous solo and group exhibitions in major public and private galleries in North America, and he has received four Canada Council Awards for painting and film. His artwork is represented in the collections of the Canada Council Art Bank, the National Gallery Ottawa, Art Gallery of Ontario, Vancouver Art Gallery and in many other government, corporate and university collections across Canada.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 33 www.contemporaryartgallery.ca BGL: Marshmallow + Cauldron + Fire = CONTEMPORARY ART GALLERY, VANCOUVER BC – Apr 17- Jun 7, 2009 The Québec City-based art collective BGL is known for installations that take over gallery and public spaces. Described as “cheeky, critical and explosive”, their works use humour and outrageousness to attract attention to social and political issues. Earlier installations have featured a taxidermied moose on a turnstile, and a Mercedes automobile on a faux lawn. They have created startling installations outdoors by combining interior materials with the natural world. The three artists, Jasmin Bilodeau, Sébastien Giguère and Nicholas Laverdière, began making a name for themselves in Eastern Canada after their 1996 graduation from Université Laval. They have become a cause célèbre at galleries, artist-run centres and museums, including the National Gallery of Cana- da; Mercer Union and Koffler Gallery, Toronto; the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton; the Royal Museum of Ontario; and the Canadian Centre in Paris. BGL has shown internationally in France, Luxembourg, View of BGL’s Nowhere II, a 28-foot scale Poland, Cuba, Argentina and Mexico. They participated in the model of a luxury cruise ship in the Don River, Montréal Biennial, were nominated for the Sobey Art Award and Toronto 2008, with their Marche avec moi legs on wheels in the foreground [Contemporary had a solo exhibition at Diaz Gallery, Toronto. As a collective, Art Gallery, Vancouver BC, Apr 17-Jun 7] BGL has received numerous grants from Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec, Canada Council for the Arts, and received the Videre visual arts event award in Québec. As Bilodeau explains, “It is more easy to play with friends than play alone.” Mia Johnson

Chapter 18. The Case of the Phoney Picasso (Caveat Emptor) Recently I was asked by a client to authenticate a drawing signed by Picasso (Pablo Ruiz Picasso). My client had purchased the drawing through an on-line auction (fortunately subject to an authentication report) with the proviso that all funds would be refund- ed in full should the drawing be found not to be authentic. As an art object, the piece which was matted and framed, presented poorly and was in mediocre condition. The glass was absent and part of the front surface of the drawing had been adhered to the underside of the matting. Both of these attributes were problematic as, in general, a framed drawing is under glass and the artwork itself is never glued permanently to any other framing material. The image, executed with coloured pencil on paper, was approximately 7 1⁄8 × 9 1⁄8 inches with the “Picasso” signature placed at the top left. The drawing was rendered on standard 8½ × 11-inch blank bond paper which appeared to have some age but was not, however, of an artist’s quality. There was evidence of foxing to the lower half of the work outside of the image. Technically the work itself was poorly executed. It Untitled (drawing) after Picasso appeared stiff, laboured and pedestrian, and exhibited a lack of spontaneity, inventiveness and creativity, which characterized Picasso’s drawings. The drawing was unusually small with the image placed awkwardly in the centre of the page, and evoked a sense of a hesitancy and timidity. The signature was also problematic. The letter “P” and the dou- ble “s” were not similar to other known genuine signatures of Picasso where the “ss”, for example, is usually written and not printed as in this case. Research revealed that this image was after a mirror image of a 64 × 46 cm (roughly 25 × 18 inches) oil on paper painting entitled Buste de femme. It was painted by Pablo Ruiz Picasso at Royan, France on June 11, 1940 and is, at present, in a private collection. In conclusion, the perpetrator most probably photographed the original painting, developed the negative in reverse, and proceeded to copy that image on paper. Or, he may have sim- ply copied the reflection of the painting in a mirror. The draftsman has deliberately placed the signature of Picasso in the same location as it appears in the original painting to help create an illusion of authentici- ty. The perpetrator was obviously an ama- teur or perhaps a student as the drawing is a very poor rendering of the mirror image. Little attention was paid to modelling and the drawing appears linear and flat. The use of colour is tentative and the piece Original painting Mirror image of original painting lacks the bold palette one can expect from a work by Picasso. The drawing is not a precursor to the painting. It is not listed in the catalogue raisonée of Picasso’s drawings and since it almost exactly reproduces the image in reverse, it does not appear to be preparatory to the original painting. This drawing is not by the hand of Pablo Ruiz Picasso. Next issue: The Case of the Anabiotic Abbey.

Cur- rently participating in the project are art students from the University of Lethbridge as well as the public-at-large, who have been asked to donate items no longer wanted or needed. In place of a traditional exhibition or installation, the Southern Alberta Art Gallery has created an Open Studio where de Groot is meeting and interacting with students and the community. The Open Studio is located in SAAG’s temporary space at 324 5th Street South, Lethbridge. Through collective exercises of gathering, selecting, sorting, dismantling, reassembling and displaying, de Groot focuses not on recycling but on letting go; not on repurposing the objects but T

on looking at the choices and actions that surface O O R G

J Rijksmuseum is known for having the finest collection of 17th I R

© century Dutch art in the world. During this period, the emerging Dutch Republic quickly reached unprecedented economic, political and cultural heights. The arts flourished as the Dutch people became infect- ed with a devotion to personal objects of glamour and décor. A new kind of civil society emerged, one largely run by and for its Protestant mercantile burghers. The era saw an explosion of portraiture for the middle class. Artists competed to create the most realistic still lifes, celebrated naturalism, used dramatic chiaroscuro and developed rich new painting techniques. The exhibition will feature major paintings and drawings Frans Hals, Portrait of a Man, Possibly Nicolaes by all of the celebrated masters of the period such as Aelbert Hasselaer (1593-1635), Brewer and Captain- Cuyp, Gerard Dou, Franz Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob Major of a Military Body in Amsterdam, (c. van Ruisdael, Gerard ter Borch and Johannes Vermeer, as well 1633-35), oil on canvas [Vancouver Art Gallery, as an extraordinary selection of decorative arts, including fur- May 10-Sep 13] niture, silver, glassware, porcelain and textiles.

Their work with new media emphasizes contemporary artmaking as a global activity with a global audience. Pakistani artist Bani Abidi uses video to examine issues of identity and how identity forms along linguistic and cultural lines. Her videos are inspired by her background as a Muslim woman, the history of Pakistan and India's partition, global politics, and the influence of international film. Abidi earned her MA at the Art Institute of Chicago. She recently participated in the Third Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial at the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, Japan. Bani Abidi lives in Karachi and New Delhi. Bangalore-based artist Srinivasa Prasad’s Payana is an installation of objects covered with gunny sack and photographs of the artist with a large bul- Srinivasa Prasad, Untitled (Payana) (2009), ink-jet on lock cart. The work is based on an earlier perform- archival lustre paper [Lawrence Eng Gallery, Vancouver BC, ance piece that used the antique two-wheel carriage Mar 27-May 2] laden with old household chattel as a metaphor for the artist’s travels between locations. Prasad holds a BFA and MFA in sculpture, and has participated in numerous artists’ residencies and workshops internationally. Sreshta Premnath creates collages of Internet imagery that emphasize the perception of the East by people living in the West. His works illuminate our longing for the “exotic” even though, as he puts it, we are simultaneously crippled by our fear of it. In addition to digital photo-prints, Prem- nath’s work has included multi- channel video installations, 16 mm film, performance art and site installations. He has exhibited in India, Scotland, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Oregon among other numerous locations. In Gate Crash, Avinash Veeraraghavan has created heavily collaged images that conjure up different realities in their layers. They provide tantalizing glimpses of their themes, yet remain visually elusive. They are described as “psychic shimmers devoid of narrative, but derived from the images of the flotsam and jetsam of everyday lives.” A video piece entitled Hurricane provides background laughter in combination with snippets of Bach. Veeraraghavan’s artwork has become progressively more complex in the past five years. Mia Johnson

Hirsch is known for conceptual pieces that examine our mental models of the world (for example, through maps) and our beliefs about units of measurement. Her work is neither scientific nor commercial, although she adopts the visual language of both. For Anthropometrics, she photographed primitive gestures of communication made by her subjects with their hands, arms and bodies to indicate the size or length of various measurements. Her intent is to catalogue the informal but conventional gestures we use in common. The suite of life- size colour photographs in Volume I was reproduced as six screen-printed posters that appeared across Vancouver in official and unofficial locations for three months in 2006. The display on the windows of the Vancouver Public Library emphasized notions of public ownership, free speech and assembly. View of posters on Hastings Street, Vancouver BC Hirsch has lived in Canada since 1994. Since 1997, she for Anthropometrics I [Republic Gallery, has participated in numerous group exhibitions from Lon- Vancouver BC, Apr 24-May 28] don, Glasgow and Lisbon to Germany, Turkey and Taiwan, and she has done residencies in Banff, Winnipeg, Finland, Paris and Berlin.

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 53 Conservator’s Corner BY REBECCA PAVITT WWW.FINEARTCONSERVE.COM I can see clearly now – or can I? You've got the art, it's fit to be framed, you've chosen the moulding and matting to set it off perfectly – you're good to go. Hold on, back up the bus, you've forgotten the glass! Not so long ago, there were limited choices for picture frame glazing: float glass, non-glare float glass, and acrylic. The choices were pretty straightforward. Times have changed, and there is now a variety of options available. The purpose of this article is to help consumers sort through the many products on the market, so that they can make the right choice for the right reasons. In this, first of a two-part article, glass options will be explored. Float glass often has a green tinge caused by iron impurities, blocks less than half of ultraviolet light and, depending on the location of the light source, reflects about 8% of visible light back at you as glare. Non-glare glass is etched on one side so that reflected light is scattered in different directions rather than bouncing directly back at the viewer. Etching, however, gives the glass a foggy appearance which can obscure the underlying artwork. Tru Vue glass samples In the 1980s a new, very exciting line of glass made just for artworks was marketed by Denglas. Its products included clear float glass which did not distort colour, anti-reflective coating to reduce glare without obscuring the art, and UV filtering coating. Denglas is no longer produced; Tru Vue now makes almost all of the high-end picture framing glass. TRU VUE GLASS PRODUCTS • All of their glass is clear float (no coloured tinges). • Their UV filtering coatings block 99% UV rays between 300 and 380 nm. • Anti-reflective coatings on float glass increase UV filtration to 78% (not considered "conservation grade") • Anti-reflective coatings show fingerprints easily, so are best handled with gloves and cleaned with microfibre cloths spritzed with rubbing alcohol. • Available in sheets up to 40 x 60 inches.

Museum Glass: UV filtering coating on one side, and glare reduction coating on both sides. AR Reflection-Free: Glare reduction coating on both sides. Conservation Clear: UV filtering coating on one side. Premium Clear: No coatings. 45% UV blocked, as with regular float glass. Conservation Reflection Control: UV filtering coating and etched surface on one side. Reflection Control: Etched surface on one side.

Almost everyone agrees that Museum Glass is a lovely product that is virtually invisible. When cost is not a consideration, it is the product of choice. Its appearance (or lack of thereof!) is so good, that many museums and art galleries use it to frame oils and acrylics to protect them from environmental damage without compromising aesthetics. For situations where glare is a problem and budget a concern, Tru Vue makes etched glass. The characteristic fogged appearance increases the further the glass is from the art, so this etched glass is not a good choice for deeply matted items, or shadowboxes.

The exhibit combines prints by Vancouver artist Diyan Achjadi with ceramic pieces by Kamloops artist Brendan Tang that explore milita- rized conflict in the guise of pop culture. Indonesia-born artist Diyan Achjadi has been using a character called “The Girl” for several years in her digital prints, video, Web project and mixed- media installations. Achjadi uses "Girl" like her personal avatar to explore themes of patriotism and national identity, militarism and political unrest. The figure appears in numerous guises, from a single, larger-than life, slightly menacing version to a paper doll- like motif used for massed groups of identical girls Diyan Achjadi, Reaching the City (2007), digital print who march, wave flags, stand at attention or salute. [Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops BC, Apr 5-May 24] Achjadi spent her formative years in Indonesia and her family subsequently moved to Hong Kong, London, back to Jakarta and Washington, DC before settling in New York for ten years. In July 2005, Achjadi moved to Vancouver where she is an assistant professor of printmaking and critical and cultural studies at Emily Carr University. Brendan Tang was born in Dublin and holds an MFA from the Southern Illinois University. Tang’s vividly coloured ceramics are meticulously crafted and inspired by 18th century French porcelains, although his labour-intensive ornamentation unexpectedly incorporates robotic and cyborg forms. His traditional forms with decorative details borrowed from consumer culture often take the shape of vessels and have implied functionality. A self-described “ceramic fabricator”, Tang is interested in the potential of clay to mimic other materials. Mia Johnson

The Seattle-based artist creates enormous photo illustrations (up to six by twelve feet) that depict, in excruciating detail, such statistics as the number of plastic beverage bottles used in only five minutes in the United States (two million) or the number of cell phones retired daily in the States (426,000). Seeing these figures spelled out in actual photographs of two million bottles or 426,000 cell phones, make the sheer magnitude of the consumer goods disposed of every year almost unimaginable. To say that his work is effective and thought-provoking is an understatement. Once a corporate lawyer, Jordan is now a consumer advocate of an unprecedented kind. In 2009, his massive mandala E. Pluribus Unum depicted the names of one million organizations around the world that are devoted to peace, environmental stewardship, social justice, and the preservation of diverse and indigenous cultures. Running the Numbers II: Portraits of global mass culture (2009) depicts mass phenomena that occur on a global scale. In the past year, his work has been shown at the Washington State University Art Museum; the San Antonio Public Library and Southwest School of Art Chris Jordan, Shark Teeth (2009), photo illustration, detail and Craft, Texas; Allen Memorial Art Museum, Ober- view of 270,000 fossilized shark teeth used to depict the lin College; Ithaca College, New York; Field Museum, estimated number of sharks of all species killed around the Chicago; Deutsche Bank Gallery, New York; Austin world every day for their fins [Winsor Gallery, Vancouver BC, May 7-31] Museum of Art; and the Mesa Arts Center, Arizona, to name just a few US locations. Internationally, his work has been shown in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Monaco, England, Ireland, and Norway. Jordan is the author of IN KATRINA'S WAKE, Portraits of Loss from An Unnatural Disaster (Princeton Architectural Press, 2006), and Chris Jordan, Intolerable Beauty (self-published, February 2005).

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 61 www.laurarusso.com Eric Stotik: Paintings LAURA RUSSO GALLERY, PORTLAND OR – Apr 2-May 2, 2009 Eric Stotik's small and intricate paintings depict figures caught in in frozen moments within surreal worlds. Stotik's realities seem to exist in the outer reaches of the psyche. His sensitive render- ings are dark and beautiful, in a crisp palette and petite scale that invites investigation. The portrayals are meticulous and technically immaculate. Untitled, the paintings leave plenty of room for the viewer's imagination. Yet the eccentric dreamscapes are fragmented and haunting leaving a nightmarish impression that makes us feel uncertain. For example, in one enigmatic scenario characteristic

of Stotik's work, he has painted on mechanic's rag the fiery back-

A P

drop of a pseudo-apocalyptic setting that rises into a dark sky.

The sky turns into rippling water, seen upside-down with a float- O

O H ing rowboat and a baby lying inside. The synthesis of precision P and tension is what makes these works so provocative, mirrored Eric Stotik, Untitled 2280 (2008), acrylic on by Stotik's delicate attentive style and his cryptic, ambiguous wood [Laura Russo Gallery, Portland WA, Apr 2-May 2] representations. The enigmatic scenario is characteristic of Stotik's work, which has been shown extensively in the Northwest since his graduation from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 1985. His paintings are in collections at the New York Public Library and the Yale University Gallery as well as the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle, the Portland Art Museum, and the Hallie Ford Museum in Salem.

Of the original 15 co-founders, Barbara Black, Paul Missal and Stephan Soihl are still with the gallery today. Now celebrating its 30th year, Blackfish is one of the longest- standing successful co-op galleries in the United States. The gallery exhibits contemporary paintings and prints, sculpture, assemblage, and mixed media work by the gallery's 28 members. Blackfish also hosts selected invitational and theme shows. It has, over the years, been a launching point for the careers of many of Portland's most accomplished artists. The 30th Anniversary group exhibition provides a cross-section of work shown by the Blackfish Gallery. It features work by all current members, including several emerging artists and such well- known talents as Robert Dozono and Michael Knutson. Some of Stephan Soihl, Array with Brass the more provocative works are Stephan Soihl's recent sculptural Composing Element (2006), aluminum, pieces. Using sets of plastic tubing filled with oil and supported oil, plastic, pump, timer [Blackfish Gallery, Portland OR, Mar 31-May 2] within various metal structures, these quasi-scientific sculptures are complete with a pump and timer. However offbeat these pieces seem, they are balanced by Soihl's execution of a clean and modern aesthetic that is undeniably elegant. Allyn Cantor

In his new works, the Washington-based artist paints scenes from the Luberon region in Provence, France. In this series Lovelace emphasizes subtle movements that occur in nature: wind-blown trees and shifting light. Using transparent oil glazes on copper plates or copper leaf, Lovelace's luminous paintings build on techniques of the 15th century European Renaissance. The moody valley terrain as Lovelace represents it has the atmos- pheric grace of a lush and fertile countryside. A heightened awareness as to the constancy of T S I T R A

change in nature results in a soft visible motion. E H T

www.preview-art.com PREVIEW 71 www.bellevuearts.org Michael Peterson: Evolution | Revolution BELLEVUE ARTS MUSEUM, BELLEVUE WA – Apr 9-Sep 20, 2009 Michael Peterson is a Texas-born sculptor who currently resides on Washington's Lopez island. Evolution | Revolution shows work from twenty years of his artistic development. It traces the evolution from the artist's early lathe-turned bowls to his most recent revolutionary sculptures. Peterson's innovative forms extend the possibilities of unusual formations that occur naturally in wood. Utilizing the burl from madrone, maple, elm and locust, he carves and hollows out green wood with a chainsaw. The wet wood shrinks and warps while it's drying to reveal height-

N ened grain patterns. The intrinsic qualities of the wood take

E T

E on their own shapes. In his most recent work, Peterson has

: stacked multiple smoothed and sandblasted pieces that are

. either bleached or stained with subtle pigments generating

E additional surface texture. The reductive method that he

N employs yields a simple purity that honours materials. The
