Artist Linh Nguyen



"For Granted"
Linh Nguyen uses scenes of nature to portray human experiences: the places in her paintings do not correspond to places on earth but rather places in her own life.  The cyclicality of growth and decay and the inescapability of change are ever-present in the landscapes and seasons that she paints and serve as reminders that both the best and the worst of our experiences are temporary.  Painting her way through this internal world, Linh looks to discover what her bonds truly are.

Artist: FC Nelson
with music from
Scott Bell 
who will be performing live cello and loop-box compositions 
as The Arlenes

The Sweet Spot is excited to welcome artist, F.C. Nelson, to the studio. We’ve coveted our own special piece from him that has been hanging on our wall for some time now and are looking forward to sharing what else he’s been working on. F.C. has a full time ‘day job’, so he tells us that most of his painting happens at night in his garage where it’s cool. Because of this the paint tends to dry very slowly, which adds to the visual and visceral texture of his pieces:
“Most of these canvases have many layers of paint. They start simply enough, with big shapes in a basic color. Then there is overpainting with more specific forms. One thing leads to another. One bit of paint in one place inevitably requires another bit in another place, and so on. After a time, if it is going good, the painting itself seems to direct what to do next. After more time, if it’s going really good, the painting seems to get a presence of its own.  Then it’s done.”

My art is a way for me to capture and sometimes escape to the water. Originally from northern California, I moved to Seattle 19 years ago and have been fortunate to explore some of the most pristine coastline here in the Northwest. I enjoy painting, illustration and silkscreen, and usually incorporate water and the surrounding landscape in my work.
My art is something that when I am in the moment I think of nothing else. I hope that when you see my paintings and illustrations you feel the sense of escape I do when I am producing it.
Thank you for looking.

Brooke Westlund

On the painting's - "They are composed of many different moments of their own layered upon one another, there is a certain point where the painting seems finished but really it is just time to move onto a different stage in its life, in fact each painting continues to change each moment as more and more people experience it, it is ever evolving. It changes depending on where it is hung at the time and who walks by. Even if you see the painting in a bar for a second as you walk by you had a moment with it and so you and the painting each contributed to each others lives even in a tiny way. This process of being in the moment is how we should view our lives, not being attached to any one moment but just moving along. Not worrying about the future or the past."

Twozdai A. Hulse
http://twozdai.com/



The skyline series capture places and stories with a combination original painting and photographic transfers on canvas.  
Works highlight many of Seattle Iconic buildings, signs and scenes, as well as other iconic sights from around the world.
Each painting starts by setting the mood with the background color on canvas. Then they go through a photo transfer process which lends them a moody texture and gritty details behind the painting. Twozdai then hand-paints details, colors and more texture onto images. The pieces are a perfect example of Twozdai’s best skills—photography and painting. All images are available in multiple sizes and in a variety of background colors.

Spending time in nature we are allowed to connect, relate, and experience the world in an open state. As we delve deeper and deeper into experiences in the natural environment, we expand our appreciation and understanding of what is important in life. These paintings reflect the connections between the physical and spirit world; thinning the veil of reality, sharing the subtleties of life, in full illumination.

"Finding the Unexpected"
  
https://www.facebook.com/pages/JOHN-ARMSTRONG-PHOTOGRAPHY/288669921924?fref=ts

“I am the type of photographer who is happiest wandering around or traveling with a camera in hand.  I like to photograph provocative, ironic or humorous subjects and situations.  In addition, I often photograph images with text or words in them.  Anything that grabs my attention is fair game.
The photographs in this exhibit represent moments and objects from our lives that have been stopped and preserved - scenes we walk by every day and may not have really noticed.  As with all photographs, what has been excluded from each image is just as important as what has been included.  Taking ordinary objects and isolating them from their surroundings often gives them a greater significance and makes them more interesting.”

Artist: Nora Pitaro


 Nora Pitaro is a photographer from Westchester County, New York, who currently resides in Seattle, Washington. She got her B.S in Photography from SUNY New Paltz and now focuses on making fine art photography, as well as working commercial freelance jobs. Nora's images focus on feminist themes and have an element of unexpected design that push the boundaries of color, shape, and composition. Her work appears timeless, sexual, graphic, or simply abstract, giving it multiple layers of both contextual and visual meaning. She questions women's roles in society through these abstract forms, exploring juxtaposing relationships, such as the ones between females and males or the human body and society's expectations of it. Nora raises these questions in order to create art that is both interesting and visually beautiful. Her work has been exhibited in galleries around New York State, and published in The New York Times, Consumer Reports Magazine, and The Epoch Times.

He is becoming well known for his art in Brazil and throughout the world due to his interaction with many Brazilians and foreigners who have grown to love his work.
