Opening this Friday, October 9th at the Halogen Gallery in Seattle is a new solo show from Kelly Vivanco. This is going to be her final show for a year or more as she will be preparing for her next solo show at Thinkspace. Most of the work in this new show has water as one of the main elements; Either water is present in the painting, or in the case of her “porthole” style paintings the design is inspired by the sea. One of the things I love about this new show, is that along with all of the new paintings, which happen to be round, she also created a wooden, 3-dimensional houseboat. I hope this is something that she does more of, her style as well as the color palette she used fits this type of work perfectly.

Opened just last night, July 31st at the Subtext Gallery in San Diego was “Under the Cover of Darkness: New Works by Kelly Vivanco & Jason Limon”. The show is online for those of us who can’t see the works in person. Kelly’s work looks amazing as usual, and almost seems to be getting more intense. I like the odd shaped panels she has been working on lately. Jason Limón’s new work has really grown on me. I have enjoyed his art since the first time I saw it, the textures the way he cuts the panels he paints on and the slightly muted color palettes. While I liked the content of his older work, I am glad that that he has shifted over to these new elements. It’s always a treat to not only enjoy the technical side of an artists work, but to also be surprised at every new new show not knowing what they will bring.

Coming June 12th Thinkspace Gallery will be hosting two solo shows, “Beneath the Seams” by Sarah Joncas and “The Conservatory” by Kelly Vivanco. Some of the works that Kelly will have in the show have been featured as a preview and I had to share them. I have been a fan of her work for quite some time, her work just keeps getting better. This preview shows how intense her work is getting, and that glow her paintings seem to have has just been amplified. Can’t wait to see the whole show!
