Past Exhibitions

A Moment in Time by Marcus Lelle

A Moment in Time by Marcus Lelle

October 3-November 2, 2024 Gallery 110 presents a new exhibition from mixed media artist Marcus Lelle that uses both photography and audio recordings to define a specific moment and place in time. Through the fusion of sight and sound, this exhibition aims to encapsulate the essence of fleeting moments. Each striking pin-hole photograph printed on metal serves as a visual window into a singular moment, while the accompanying recordings provide a soundtrack that enhances the narrative. By capturing the interplay between visual and auditory stimuli, A Moment in Time transcends traditional boundaries of perception, offering a multisensory exploration of memory, ... Read More
Between, Betwixt, Beneath by Gregory Pierce

Between, Betwixt, Beneath by Gregory Pierce

October 3-November 2, 2024 Join us at Gallery 110 in October to experience how sculptor Gregory Pierce explores our connection to landscapes that are embedded with cultural and material history. Pierce’s unique process fuses together collected rock material with found and fabricated objects into distinctive and powerfully raw configurations. Instead of portraying traditional vistas, he condenses personal viewpoints, memories, and traces of human detritus into layered abstracted forms that are often strangely suggestive and vaguely familiar to the viewer. In this exhibition, Greg has scaled down the size of his work, encouraging viewers to engage with it more intimately. Some ... Read More
Magic Lake by Kathy Roseth

Magic Lake by Kathy Roseth

October 3-November 2, 2024 Roseth invites viewers into an imaginary landscape teeming with lakeside creatures—lovingly rendered Canada geese, coots, ducks, crows, and herons. The birds navigate a surreal environment, partially veiled by a web or netting that represents a translucent separation between the waking world of everyday experience and the always present invisible world that humans sometime sense but have difficulty accessing.  It’s an old idea that in Western tradition goes back to Plato, and which has many non-Western versions.  Roseth is particularly inspired by a Haida version described by the Canadian poet Robert Bringhurst in The Black Canoe: Bill ...

Echoes of Yesterday by Sanjida Mity

Echoes of Yesterday by Sanjida Mity

September 5-28, 2024 Opening: 1st Thursday Art Walk, September 5, 5-8pm
Reception: Saturday, September 7th, 2-5pm Gallery 110 presents Echoes of Yesterday, a vibrant exhibition capturing the essence of dreams and memories through mesmerizing, luminous artworks on glass by mixed media artist Sanjida Mity. Her work often features human figures and faces against surreal backdrops. Working on the distinctive media of glass, Mity merges the colors and rhythms of life into a harmonious symphony of “beaming yellows, oranges, and rusts of hope; the tranquil beauty of coexistence between humans and nature in white, green, and blue; and the bravery and spirit of ...

In Vivo by Sarah Barnett

In Vivo by Sarah Barnett

September 5-28, 2024 Opening: 1st Thursday Art Walk, September 5, 5-8pm
Reception: Saturday, September 7th, 2-5pm Gallery 110 presents an exhibition by Sarah Barnett entitled In Vivo—a biological term used to describe processes or experiments conducted within a living organism. Despite signifying organic life, in vivo processes also reveal a paradoxical relationship between flesh and the technology that surrounds, probes, and changes it. On one hand, technology enhances our understanding and enables life-saving medical advancements. On the other hand, it disrupts natural states of life and, sometimes, life itself. Showcasing recent oil paintings by Barnett, this exhibition reflects on the ... Read More
Environments of Texture and Motion by Ruth Kapcia

Environments of Texture and Motion by Ruth Kapcia

August 1-31 Opening: 1st Thursday Art Walk, August 1, 5-8pm Ruth Kapcia’s abstract oil pastels represent reinterpretations of familiar images of landscape and architectural environments, exploring the dynamics between colors, textures, and patterns with a tactile, 3D approach. Kapcia’s tone can be whimsical or moody, using a varied color palette and diverse mark-making to reference several influences from the general to the specific—often in the same piece. Her work is intended to provoke the audience into developing their own interpretations of what they see—and what the imagery may signify—rather than having a specific viewpoint dictated by the artist. Some works ... Read More
Under Audit II by Tabitha Abbott

Under Audit II by Tabitha Abbott

August 1-31, 2024 Opening: 1st Thursday Art Walk, August 1, 5-8pm

Gallery 110 presents the exhibition Under Audit II, the second in a series of striking exhibitions by Tabitha Abbott, a contemporary oil painter who masterfully uses themes inspired by nature to capture the experience of life as an artist working in the field of regulatory auditing.  Abbott’s visual arrangements are inspired by audit evidence and pinned insects, most easily recognized by the monochromatic pattern captured within a rectangular form on each piece—a symbolic representation of a time-stamp, capturing the moment when the piece was completed. The artist spent her ... Read More

All the World’s a Stage (And I’m Hip to It) by K. Taka

All the World’s a Stage (And I’m Hip to It) by K. Taka

July 4-27, 2024 Gallery 110 presents a thought-provoking exploration of societal issues with All the World’s a Stage (And I’m Hip to It), a solo exhibition by Indigenous photographer K. Taka. The Master of Ceremonies has done the work of setting the stage, elevating the reality brewing just underneath the performative politeness and politics. She brings the characters in as well, demanding that we look at ourselves, and exposes the vulnerabilities, the lies, and the dark secrets that inform individual and collective choices and repercussions. All the world is a stage, after all. What part do you play in it? ... Read More
strawberries_for_lunch by Brian Vu

strawberries_for_lunch by Brian Vu

This solo exhibition by interdisciplinary ceramic artist Brian Vu features minimalist, colorful wall and sculptural works that incorporate porcelain, wood, and steel. Unique, thought-provoking compositions focus on the modular, geometric nature of the domestic household, rendering ceramic and non-ceramic materials equally significant to spark nuanced and formal conversations.

"The Inner Child" by Nahom Ghirmay

“The Inner Child” by Nahom Ghirmay

May 2 – June 1, 2024 This exhibition is an exploration centered around the notion of inner child, releasing the serene, unburdened core that resides within us. Moreover, it’s an opportunity to spotlight the profound connection that exists between our inner selves and nature. “During dark times imagining peaceful scenes brings me a sense of hope and comfort. Through this series, my aim was to capture and recreate these serene scenes,” says Ghirmay. In today’s fast-paced and often demanding world, reconnecting with our inner child becomes a source of solace and inspiration. A visual artist based in Seattle, Ghirmay found ... Read More
"Elegy for a White, Black, and Red Butterfly" by Julian Peña

“Elegy for a White, Black, and Red Butterfly” by Julian Peña

May 2 – June 1, 2024 Through Julian Peña's vibrant, immersive visual narratives, viewers are invited to question reality, consciousness, and our role in the universe. These hallucinogenic adventures unfold across fantastical realms populated by eccentric, grotesque, obnoxiously kawaii characters blurring digital and hand-drawn lines. Gallery hours are Thursday – Saturday from 12pm – 5pm and by appointment. Please join us for the First Thursday Art Walk on May 2nd, 2024 from 12-8pm.   Please enable JavaScript to view the artwork ... Read More
Life's a Chessboard

Life’s a Chessboard

April 4 – 27, 2024 Artist Paige Anderson presents a collection of oil paintings as her first solo exhibition at Gallery 110 titled Life's a Chessboard, inviting witnesses to embark on a journey through the intricate landscape of human experience, where the game of life unfolds amidst tribulations, valleys, and mountains.

Life, much like a chessboard, presents us with challenges beyond our control, where every move we make shapes the narrative of our existence. Through the strokes of paint on canvas, Anderson invites guests to dive into the complexities of a metaphorical chess game, where each piece symbolizes a ... Read More
New Members Show

New Members Show

April 4 - 27, 2024 Gallery 110 presents a New Members Show featuring artists Carol Adelman, Sarah Barnett, H.R. Emi and Nena Howell. All four oil painters have joined Gallery 110 within the last eight months and have continued to refine their craft, exploring themes from the human body and mortality to artworks that represent deep respect for cultural roots and liminal every day moments. Each artist presents up to three pieces for the first time as members of Gallery 110 this April. Carol Adelman is a painter who uses a sensual, aggressive approach to materials that borders on ...

Love Notes

Love Notes

April 04, 2024 - April 27, 2024 Within artist Kurt Erickson‘s body of work Love Notes, he embarks on a creative journey that transcends conventional artistic communication. By relinquishing reliance on words and symbols, Erickson harnesses the combined power of gesture, line, and color to craft an evocative visual language, one that lays bare the intricacies of human emotion and experience. This shift allows him to communicate in a more abstract yet deeply personal manner, inviting viewers into an intimate exploration of feelings and experiences. The Power of Gesture: Love Notes thrives on the expressive potential of gesture. Every brushstroke ... Read More
Snapshots of the Mind

Snapshots of the Mind

March 7 – 30, 2024 Artist Michael Abraham's oil painting and sculpture exhibition, Snapshots of the Mind, features newer artworks and some distinctive Abraham classics, showcasing a consciousness of human nature, the richness of life and the passage of time.

Since 1992, Abraham’s oil paintings have garnered him a dedicated following. His unique perspective and ability to evoke emotion through his work have been recognized by critics and collectors alike. Abraham’s imagery spans the gamut between profound social commentary to the appreciation of what is most beautiful and meaningful. In Snapshots of the Mind, the open-hearted descriptions that accompany ... Read More
Fragments of the Sea II

Fragments of the Sea II

March 7 - 30, 2024 Artist David Haughton presents Fragments of the Sea II, an acrylic painting exhibition consisting of primarily new paintings of the Pacific Ocean during storm season, and as a counter punctual accent, also features much older watercolor pieces of the Greek Cycladean landscape that were exhibited in Athens in 2007 at Haughton's first Fragments of the Sea exhibition. The work highlights views of storm-tossed waves from the beaches of Tofino and Nocturnes of ships in the Burrard Inlet, all evoking light at crepuscule or before dawn. Fragments of the Sea comes from a line in The ... Read More

Puppet Masters: Making Fools of Us All

Puppet Masters: Making Fools of Us All

January 4 - 27, 2024 Content warning, please read: Gallery 110 acknowledges that this exhibition may upset the viewer and contains material that is difficult to discuss. Puppet Masters: Making Fools of Us All explores and challenges themes of cruelty, violence, racism and political unrest, which some guests may find distressing.

The work on display depicts men whose faces and/or actions reflect rage, and may include insignia, tattoos or other potentially triggering images, such as confederate flags, swastikas, and neo-fascist logos from Germany, Sweden and the USA. As a type of protest, artist David Haughton paints to reveal and ... Read More

Arriving Somewhere

Arriving Somewhere

November 2 – December 2, 2023 Artist Angshuman Sarkar's photography exhibition Arriving Somewhere presents a documentary exploration of the American landscape through the eyes of an immigrant artist. The exhibition features photographs that capture the beauty and complexity of the American landscape, from natural formations to the topological landscapes shaped by human activity.

Consisting of two main sections, "natural landscapes" and "topological landscapes", Arriving Somewhere is a series of photographs documenting the natural beauty of the American landscape (including geological formations, canyons, and deserts) with a second section exploring the impact of human activity on the landscape (industrial zones, ...

Rajaa Gharbi, Selected Works

Rajaa Gharbi, Selected Works

November 2 - December 2, 2023 Featuring original acrylic paintings and prints from several previous solo exhibitions, artist Rajaa Gharbi's exhibition, Rajaa Gharbi, Selected Works is largely inspired by a sense of realism and the need for collective, life-nurturing visions and practices. Gharbi's works are never about just one or two themes. Among her earliest and indelible art influences and “training” grounds were her mother’s clothing designs, her father’s storytelling feats, her native city’s omnipresent visual worlds of hand-weaving arts, first centuries BCE monumental representational mosaic “paintings”, and the vestiges of a bygone Roman Empire. Visual storytelling and ancient scripts have ... Read More
Recover, Transcend, Repeat

Recover, Transcend, Repeat

November 2 - December 2, 2023 Artist Ingrid Sojit is drawn to deep philosophical questions. Employing a broad range of visual symbols, she explores these questions in pictorial form. A series of oil paintings, mixed media collage and paper collage, Recover, Transcend, Repeat engages viewers in a visual discussion on the nature of change, resilience and transcendence.

Sojit's symbolic lexicon ranges from representational to abstract. A bird can represent freedom or the ability to rise above difficulties, the color red may symbolize strength, vigor or love, while a faint blurred broken line can convey exhaustion or psychological trauma. In June ... Read More
Memoriae Botanicum

Memoriae Botanicum

October 5 - 28, 2023 A-M Petersons' exhibition Memoriae Botanicum explores the fluidity and dynamism of our local cityscapes. Over the last five years Petersons has been collecting botanical specimens from the homes on her street, rendering each as a black and white ink drawing on 4x6 postcard sized paper. This documentation has gone through bursts and droughts as she navigates life's priorities and tragedies, elevating each of her findings to a format that is most often associated with travel documentation and small-scale storytelling. Neighborhoods, streets, and city blocks showcase the economic climate and architectural trends of the day; dwellings and front gardens mirror the impulses ... Read More
“SHADOWS” OR “REALITY”?

“SHADOWS” OR “REALITY”?

October 5 - 28, 2023 Artist Katherine Loveland's six abstract macrophotographs of nature provide witnesses a greater sense of an image through varied perspectives, colors and compositions. Nature is much richer than our cursory first impression. A rose is just a rose, or is it? Plato’s Allegory of the Cave challenges us to wonder: is our vision of nature “real” or a “shadow”? What exactly is truth? In “SHADOWS” OR “REALITY”?, Loveland's photographs represent reality, and the artwork labels and name of the object represent the shadow. Loveland's work emphasizes how nature is richer than a superficial and predetermined view ... Read More
The Impossibility of Knowing

The Impossibility of Knowing

October 5 - 28, 2023 Artist JW Harrington's exhibition The Impossibility of Knowing refers to the strength of memory and imagination, compared to what is “real” or “observed”. Powerful and curatorially acclaimed, Harrington’s series of oil and acrylic paintings feature solid shapes, figures, or silhouettes interacting with mirrored outlines against shadowed backgrounds. What seems substantive is augmented with its past, future, mirror or shadow. Harrington’s figures seem to be doubled, each interacting with its respective complement. The Impossibility of Knowing‘s interplay creates visual dynamism as subjects are pulled in opposite directions and interact with their outlines. Harrington’s fundamental motivation is to ... Read More
In Search of Identity

In Search of Identity

September 7 – 30, 2023 Artist Li Turner attempts to sort out the gender question in In Search of Identity. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time. Consequently, this term is used broadly to denote a range of identities that may not correspond to established biological ideas of male and female. Turner's series of watercolor paintings explore identities that stray from the more stringent biological definition.

From a biological stand point, gender interacts with but is different from sex, which refers to the different biological and physiological characteristics of females, males ... Read More
Under Audit

Under Audit

September 7 - 30, 2023 Artist Tabitha Abbott’s current body of work answers the age-old question: What happens when a young artist is immersed in the world of regulatory corporate auditing? As the oldest of five siblings, Abbott's upbringing was marked by constant movement across the American Midwest, attending thirteen schools across four states while completing her primary education. While a career in art had always been her goal, seeking financial security Abbott went on to pursue an M.S. in Accounting at the University of Wyoming. A primarily self-taught oil painter, Abbott refined her craft while simultaneously building her career, ... Read More
ダブル • Daburu

ダブル • Daburu

August 3 - September 2, 2023 Gina Ariko and Marie Okuma Johnston's collaborative exhibition ダブル • Daburu features oil and acrylic paintings that explore their bicultural identities and experiences between the United States and Japan. Daburu is the Japanese hepburn spelling of double, a rising identity of mixed-race Japanese. Traditionally, mixed-race Japanese have been called “hafu” or half, which only places value on the Japanese side of identity rather than embracing the entirety of a person’s experience. The title of Daburu is also a play on the double feature of the artist's stories, identities, parallels, and bicultural experiences. During the reception ... Read More

She paints vivid insects and integrates them with organic elements to create delicately positioned specimens for the viewer’s assessment and analysis ... Read More
Finding Form in the Invisible

Finding Form in the Invisible

July 6 - 29, 2023 Artist Saundra Fleming's work echoes her profound orientation around a philosophy of Absurdism. Thinkers such as Kafka and Camus embraced Absurdism in their struggle to make sense of death and evil in the world. As convincing as these two thinkers are in affirming this philosophy, Fleming's own work will always reflect a powerful instinct for transcendence. Some of the pieces in Finding Form in the Invisible are visual descriptions, in paint, of her own personal epiphanies over the span of her life—uncanny experiences from age five to her current age of sixty three. Expressing a ... Read More
Present Perfect

Present Perfect

July 6 - 29, 2023 Artist Nathan Vass' chosen medium, analogue color photography, will be remembered as one of the shortest-lived art forms; it came of age in the '70s, the populist sibling of B&W (itself the awkward stepchild of painting) and part of a medium invented too late to be taken seriously. It died out in large part on August 30th, 2018, when the last large professional-grade, public-access color darkroom in the US closed its doors. The timing is unfortunate: film, though no longer the norm for image-making, remains the premier avenue of approach for fine art photo work ... Read More
EmergEAST Finalist Exhibition

EmergEAST Finalist Exhibition

 June 1 – July 1, 2023 Founded in 2018, Gallery 110’s Emerging Artist Program provides visual artists exhibition opportunities, subsidized gallery membership and other resources to help grow their art career. With this year's launch of the Emerging Artist Program, titled EmergEAST, eligible applicants were those emerging visual artists who live in Eastern Washington without significant solo exhibitions and/or gallery representation. Gallery 110 sought to support artists from predominantly rural regions in WA who are not afforded similar access and opportunities to connect with larger audiences in metro areas. 

Fifteen artists from east of the Cascade Mountains were selected ... Read More
Artist and Artisan: Still Life Paintings

Artist and Artisan: Still Life Paintings

May 4 - 27, 2023 The 15 oil paintings in artist Kathy Roseth's exhibition celebrate the beauty of domestic crafts – rugs, weavings, ceramic tiles and embroideries from many cultures.

Roseth first became interested in domestic crafts in the early 1980s, when she saw a show of Amish quilts at the Henry Art Gallery on the University of Washington campus. She was stunned by the austere power of the geometric shapes, their pulsing colors, and the exquisite craftsmanship “that made every square inch worth looking at”. She spent the next twenty years making traditional American quilts, exploring how a ... Read More
Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?

Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?

May 4 - 27, 2023 When looking at the beginning of our universe from the time of the big bang, theoretical physicists allow themselves to ponder the unanswerable question of why life exists in the first place. Why is there something rather than nothing? Artist Dorothy Anderson Wasserman's photo collages are informed by ideas like this, concerning the nature of existence from a non-scientific, philosophical point of view. Questions about time, dimensions, gravity, and entanglement have helped fabricate the imagined spaces where these narratives take place. The thin veil between her inner experience and outer life is explored by having ... Read More
Broken crayons still color

Broken crayons still color

April 6 - 29, 2023 When artist Bonnie Hopper was a little girl one Christmas, she received a box of 100 Crayola color crayons to share among the five youngest children. Bonnie was eight at the time and the oldest of the bunch and therefore the undisputed leader. A born artist, she was incensed as she looked on and watched her two sisters and two brothers wear the tips of the crayons down to nubs or simply break them in half. This careless abuse of what Bonnie considered a precious gift had her running to Mama in tears as she ... Read More
Timeless Light

Timeless Light

April 6 - 29, 2023 Matthew Behrend invites us to a space beyond time in Timeless Light. His work connects to the divinity of nature and the dimensions of existence where universal consciousness is found. Matthew's patinas are meditative works of otherworldly forms and landscapes created with electric fields under water. His work is about the joy of creating with nature, experiencing dimensions beyond the five senses. The Electric Patina is a unique medium he created with influence from darkroom photography, semiconductor lithography, and the electrochemistry of neural prosthetics. Electric fields are invisible to the eye, but predictable, fluid, and ... Read More
Photography Explored (Experimental and Alternative)

Photography Explored (Experimental and Alternative)

April 6 - 29, 2023 Working with film and experimenting with alternative processes and techniques, artist Marcus Lelle experiences uncertainty routinely. Even considering the planning that goes into every image, the final results can never be known ahead of time. By choosing to exchange as many of the chemicals that are involved in the process for more environmentally focused materials, such as beer, wine and coffee, Marcus begins to remove the known aspects of his chosen medium. Three dimensional works are paired with their two dimensional counterparts, bringing the image out of the studio and directly into the viewer’s space; ... Read More
Re: Seeing

Re: Seeing

March 2 - April 1, 2023 Re: Seeing approaches how we see others and the world around us. Curated by Gallery 110 Director Shayley Timm and featuring all local Seattle artists, each piece expresses a subtle outcry to either see the artist as who they are or to see the alternate world they’ve provided. The work in Re: Seeing asks viewers simply, what about this. Walking through each existence invites us to not only acknowledge any implicit bias we carry, but to also challenge assumptions upon walking in the door. Deeply personal, each artist offers witnesses a chance to see ... Read More

Negative Capability: The Artist As Healer

Negative Capability: The Artist As Healer

January 5 - 28, 2023 Negative Capability: The Artist As Healer focuses on the power of portraiture to speak to the universe inside us. Curated by Seattle artist Saundra Fleming and featuring South Carolina artist Cliffton Peacock, Aleksandar Dordjevic (Serbia), Andrea Harborth (Germany), NW artists Liz Kennedy, Alexis Ortiz, Kate Harkins, Jeffrey Heiman, George Brandt, Carol Adelman Kennedy, Ingrid Sojit, Lynette Charters, Courtney Hudak, Nahom Ghirmay and K. Taka, the show explores the diverse range of postmodern portraiture. The portraits in Negative Capability demonstrate the particular power artists have to challenge our perceptions, represent psychological challenges, and pursue their interpretation ... Read More

December 1 - 31, 2022 Gallery 110 will be presenting all varieties of art from 27 local artist members for our All Members Show this year. From JW Harrington's strict and “rational” acrylic paintings, to Saundra Fleming's "shopping cart prints" that contain a stream of consciousness grocery list (inspired by the weird and lovely communication with her mother who has Alzheimer’s), to Bonnie Hopper's tactile and stunning portraits, each artist presents a summary of who they are and what they've been working on for this annual community exhibition and celebration of making it through many pandemic years. The All Members ... Read More
Free from Ill Will

Free from Ill Will

November 3 - 26, 2022 Comprised entirely of glazed stoneware, artist Kevin Marshall's exhibition Free from Ill Will reminds us that we are here for such a short time. Each piece begins with clay that surrenders to gravity. Kevin embosses each with geometric patterns and in the final stage of his creative process, blesses the work with brush calligraphy. The blessings are often written twice, once in an alphabet called Phagspa and once in abbreviated Latin script. His work speaks to how the clay and the stone will one day be in shards; clay becomes rock, and rock lasts as ... Read More
From Another Impressionism

From Another Impressionism

November 3 - 26, 2022 Featuring minimalist black & white or limited palette acrylic paintings and graphite drawings, artist Rajaa Gharbi’s exhibition From Another Impressionism brings back the “wise fool” Joha/Mulla Nasrudin for another visit and “conversation” to her steadily dialogic and evocative artwork. The proverbially amusing rebel philosopher Joha/Mulla Nasrudin (whose thousands of hilarious but, to one degree or another, maddening stories are told around the world with lots of them translated into many languages) came to Gharbi’s studio. He wanted to talk with her about some of the paintings she makes but seldom shows, and said he might ... Read More
Introducing Members: Nathan Vass and Marcus Lelle

Introducing Members: Nathan Vass and Marcus Lelle

October 6 – 29, 2022 Artists Nathan Vass and Marcus Lelle will be featured as part of Gallery 110's member introduction show. Nathan Vass, who's been with the gallery since July 2022, and Marcus Lelle, who's been with the gallery since January 2020, each present three of their photography works for the first time at Gallery 110.

Intermezzo

Intermezzo

October 6 - 29, 2022 A site-specific installation that combines the natural world with elements of a built environment, artist Greg Amanti's exhibition Intermezzo aims to replicate a dreamlike aesthetic where two worlds can co-exist. Allowing the process to dictate the outcome, Amanti replicates trees, the ground, rocks, and the human form; he then copies them using mirrors, neon and painted glass and places the result back into the composition. "Similar to creating a set design for a play, except the stage is a composition of nature." Intermezzo will be on display at Gallery 110 from October 6 – 29, ... Read More
The Carnival of the Animals

The Carnival of the Animals

October 6 - 29, 2022 Artist Talk: 10/13 & 10/15 2-3pm
SLOWBURN Dance Performance: 10/15 5-6pm
Artist Reception: 10/22 2-4pm Artist Dorothy Anderson Wasserman's relief sculpture suite, “The Carnival of the Animals,” is inspired by Camille Saint-Saens’ 1886 musical composition of the same name. Written when Saint-Saens was on a vacation in Vienna, the piece shows a playful, light-spirited side to this composer who was considered one of the most important figures in French 19th century culture. As a humorous musical suite in fourteen movements, Wasserman's work continues this playful sensibility, portraying the characters with sophisticated whimsy and an old ... Read More
Material Meditations

Material Meditations

September 1 - October 1, 2022 Artist Greg Pierce has always held a fascination with the transformation of materials in different states of decay and breakdown. "Material Meditations" is an aesthetic exploration of structural integrity affected by entropic forces in nature. When fortunate, one stumbles across an object in the environment that has a particular aesthetic resonance. Erosional elements such as water, insects, wind, and ice alter an object’s structural integrity and softens features in a manner that captivates imagination. In a similar fashion, the processes Pierce uses to create his sculpture also displays similar entropic features of fluidity and ... Read More
Floatsom/Floatilla

Floatsom/Floatilla

September 1 - October 1, 2022 Artist Sally Ketcham’s collection of mixed media, painting and collage reflect both childhood and recent pandemic time spent on the beaches in the Seattle area. She uses found objects and inspiration from our loved but stressed local waterways as her starting points. While for Sally these pieces reference the transformations and challenges in the marine ecosystem, the work overall is about materials and process. The joy and the meditative qualities are in the finding, the arrangement, and in the making. Some of the works presented are imbued with personal meaning and/or political connotations in ...

The Other Washington State

The Other Washington State

August 4 - 27, 2022 Spotlighting industrial landscapes of eastern Washington, artist Angshuman Sarkar's exhibition The Other Washington State is an exploration and tribute to the American landscape that is often less seen and infrequently talked about. Washington state is divided by the mountains into two parts, splitting the economy, occupations, and lifestyles with it. The division is stark and is often excluded from the conversations about the state. Eastern Washington, being away from the economic hubs and ports of the West side has developed differently. Much of the economics of this part relies on the Columbia river and the ... Read More
Notes from my backyard

Notes from my backyard

August 4 - 27, 2022 Sequestered by COVID-19, A-M Petersons found her backyard a refuge for discovery and contemplation - inspiring subtle, beautiful evocations of lichen “ghosts”.  A-M Petersons has a relationship with her garden, with the last two years cementing their bond. When home was a refuge, fortress, and jail, the garden stepped up and led her to a new place - a place that already existed with a view she had previously ignored. For A-M, the beams of the pergola became meditation mantras. She was led to look up, consider the branches of the apple tree, and examine ... Read More
I Dream in Color

I Dream in Color

August 4 - 27, 2022 Artist Kurt Erickson’s dynamic, colorful abstractions explore the bursts of radiance that come from the in-between spaces of our dreams. While awake, colors are used to represent everything from mourning and love to excitement or rage. When noticing a color while dreaming, the interpretation of that dream could be aided by what colors shine through. While working in his studio, Kurt reverts back to a childlike creative headspace, letting intuition take hold. His subconscious mind moves to the in-between spaces and glimpses light and darkness. This body of work, like most of his work, is accessible to ... Read More

Reconstructed

Reconstructed

July 7 – 30, 2022 In her body of work titled “Reconstructed”, artist Geralyn Inokuchi explores painted paper collage in creating her non-objective abstracts. These pieces are a metaphor for life events and her personal growth over recent years. Inspired by the energetic work of David Tress, Geralyn began exploring compositions in her abstract collages that extended outside of the standard dimensions of the surface. Papers of various textures and thicknesses are painted and torn into smaller sections, then reassembled to emphasize a balanced asymmetric and dynamic work. Torn edges and uneven shapes are as much a part of the ... Read More

Willamette Valley Exhibition – Barking Dog Wines

May 5 - 28, 2022 During May, in addition to Nocturnes IV: Return to Elliott Bay in the East Gallery, artist David Haughton will display his four Willamette Valley paintings in Gallery 110's smaller North Gallery. Emory & Mary Fry, old friends of Haughton, planted their vineyards eight years ago high on the northern slopes of the Willamette Valley. They took chances, planting grape varieties that have been proven very successful elsewhere but are less known in the Pacific Northwest. This April 2022, they are bottling the first vintages from their Barking Dog Winery. Each year their wine labels will feature ... Read More
Nocturnes IV: Return to Elliott Bay

Nocturnes IV: Return to Elliott Bay

May 5 - 28, 2022 In Nocturnes IV: Return to Elliott Bay British Columbia artist David A. Haughton presents twenty evocative paintings of the Seattle harbor that capture twilight and dawn with wide passages of color and ambiguous suggestions of form. Cranes on the horizon tilt like enormous religious objects, transcending realism. Ships, coddled by the tides, rotate slowly, their lights reflecting across the water like mysterious, incandescent monasteries. Haughton writes: “I joined Gallery 110 in 2009, and thus began regular trips south to Seattle. I discovered a group of dedicated fellow-artists and friends as well as a favorite place ... Read More
End(s) of the Earth

End(s) of the Earth

May 5 - 28, 2022 End(s) of the Earth by artist Nick Riesland features vivid yet harmonious abstractions, inspired by memories and sketches of aerial landscapes viewed across years of extensive world travel- often in small aircraft. This exhibition is also described as, in Riesland’s words: “geo-calligraphy”. Riesland writes: "There are three parts to the concepts behind this collection of paintings. First, for much of my past professional life, I was lucky to have been able to travel extensively around the globe on various aircraft. While observing that most passengers prefer to pull down the window shades and burrow into ... Read More
Tell Me a Story

Tell Me a Story

April 7 - 30, 2022 Tell Me a Story by artist M R McDonald features, but not exclusively, the notion of "story" or "narrative". Rod Stewart has said that "every picture tells a story." M R McDonald is certain that that is not true. Take the painting that is the title of this show, for example. Who is telling the story? To whom? Is there something in the painting that is the story? Is there something that provides or indicates what the story might be? Are there any symbols that might be helpful? Is it possible for there to be ... Read More
Rate of Change

Rate of Change

April 7 - 30, 2022 In Rate of Change, Aaron Brady uses his unique process to demonstrate our impact on the environment and its ability to flourish in our absence. The series was originally inspired by the spring of 2020 when the initial outbreak of COVID resulted in a pause in manufacturing and commuting. In this brief time, pollution levels fell, skies cleared and foliage returned. However as time passed, we restarted our routines and our threat to nature continued to be more dire. With these paintings, Aaron hopes to raise awareness and provoke emotional, visceral responses to climate change.    ... Read More

On Paper

March 3 – April 2, 2022 Paper and Mixed Media Collage by Ashley Zuckerberg. Ashley Zuckerberg has always enjoyed portraiture and has admired and even envied those who had the talent to capture someone’s likeness. Putting pen to paper, it was never something she felt she could do. But when Zuckerberg put paper to paper, a whole world of portraiture opened up to her. She could recreate moments and people from her daily life in a way she couldn’t before, and in a way nobody else had seen them before. The process of actually making a piece has always been ...

Embracing Black and White… And The Infinite Shades In Between

Embracing Black and White… And The Infinite Shades In Between

March 3 - April 2, 2022 Gallery 110 will be presenting paintings by Tacoma artist and social scientist JW Harrington. Titled “Embracing Black and White… And The Infinite Shades In Between” the show features three-foot-square paintings that use only two pigments: black and white. Harrington painted the works to be completely abstract, yet they can bring the viewer to appreciate that a black/white polarity can be enriched by the many shades in between. Harrington is an emerging artist, painting full-time since his retirement from the University of Washington. Asked “Why paint in monochrome?” Harrington responded: “In my years of painting, ...

Towards a Philosophy of Photography – November 2021

Noah McLaurine Join us for the opening on Thursday, November 4th at 6:00 pm May I make a confession? I don’t really know how cameras work. Despite an MFA from a prestigious art school, despite years running the photography labs of another, despite shamelessly introducing myself as a ‘photographer’ to anyone I meet, I can honestly say that I do not understand how my chosen artistic medium works. Sure, I understand that a lens focuses light by bending light rays to concentrate them in a certain area, and yes, I totally get that thin strips of metal open and close, ... Read More

Gallery 110 is pleased to present Field of Play, an exhibition of new photographs by Stephan Jahanshahi.  In his first solo exhibition in Seattle, the artist has chosen to focus on the amateur rugby community; showcasing portraits of the athletes who devote themselves to rugby for love of the game and the community it fosters.    An avid player since the age of 13, Stephan writes “Rugby by design is a sport that emphasises communication and teamwork for success over individual brilliance.  It is structurally democratic relying as much on cooperation, even between opponents, as it does on aggression.  What ...

Geralyn Inokuchi and Rebecca Arthur November 5-28, 2020 We welcome fresh talent to Gallery 110 this November through the delicate abstract mixed media collage and paintings of Geralyn Inokuchi, and the striking Raku pottery of Rebecca Arthur. Dynamic Conversation – Geralyn Inokuchi and Rebecca Arthur While working on a piece for a show one day in her studio, Geralyn noticed the similarities between Raku pottery and abstract painting. The more she thought about it the more intrigued she became with the idea of exhibiting her paintings along with those of a ceramics artist. She began searching for a ceramicist whose ... Read More

Dorothy Anderson Wasserman October 1 – 31, 2020 Urban Portals draws on ideas from physics for the visual layering in these complex urban photo collages by artist Dorothy Anderson Wasserman. Time is taken out of the normal realm of experience by having images of past, present and imagined future seamlessly commingle in the same visual space. Dorothy uses only her own photographs and assembles the work by hand. As a final step the collage is digitized and printed on rag paper using pigmented inks creating an archival print.   ...

Sherry Ying Ruden September 3 - 26, 2020 Sherry’s use of traditional Chinese Xuan (rice) paper, though fragile, is surprisingly versatile. She continuously experiments with different methods - resulting in striking but subtle luminescent outcomes. Unlike Chinese painting with brush and ink, where the artwork is mounted afterwards, Sherry reverses the process by manipulating the material, creating shapes and colors based on the paper’s natural grain and texture while adding mixed media elements along the way. She calls it Zì-Rán 自然, In Chinese this means nature, or the flow of things, ensuring her subject matter will be fluid and unique ... Read More

Mousa created these portraits during self-isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While reflecting on both the lost lives of vulnerable populations who were victims of failed public health policies and systemic racism. Over the years, Mousa has developed an artistic vocabulary of symbols, colors, cultural references, and gestural mark-making to reflect upon politics, world events, societal mores, culture, and beauty. He mines his personal story to produce commentary about the world. For this series, Mousa was drawn to illustrate segments of the affected peoples to connect the viewer to their struggles ...

Socio-Emotional Learning

Socio-Emotional Learning

Yvonne Kunz
July 2 - August 1
In large measure becoming an artist consists of learning to accept yourself, which makes your work personal, and in following your own voice, which makes your work distinctive. - David Bayles, Art & Fear,1993

Accepting oneself is often easier to read in self-help books than to live. Having read Art & Fear, Yvonne Kunz's role as an artist and an educator has her grappling with questions of what it means to accept oneself and others: to be American, a woman, and a person in this modern age. Ever surrounded by ... Read More

Playing with personal background-specific symbols and universal ones, Gharbi explores the possibility of a futuristic vision of a much needed respite for human and other natural phenomena ...

Eros, C'est la Vie

Eros, C’est la Vie

June 4 - 27

In 1920, Marcel Duchamp, largely considered the father of conceptual art, collaborated with Man Ray in the creation of a female alter-ego for Duchamp: Rrose Sélavy. The artists intended the name as a pun on the French pronunciation “Eros, C’est la Vie” which translate to “Love [or Sex], It is Life.”. As with all things, Duchamp aimed to break barriers, test cultural boundaries and re-think, if not fully deconstruct, how we view art, the world and ourselves. Exactly one century later, I find myself in a time and place where no one would think twice ... Read More

From the artist: Over the months spent creating the drawings and paintings for this exhibit, I’ve been surprised again and again by how deeply my Mother’s consistent cultivation of her child’s imagination still influences me. Her encouragement and, at times, goading have certainly shaped the image maker I am today. This body of work developed basically split into two ‘camps’. Mother’s story, my appreciation of who she was as her younger self and recollections of our ... Read More

From the artist: This word has several meanings. It can be used to refer to a book, to identify a particular book in a collection, to talk about the amount of space an object occupies, to describe a container in terms of its capacity, a quantity or amount, and even to describe the quantity of sound. This line of inquiry explores volumes referring to books, volumes referring to the amount of psychic pain and or periods of turmoil stored in our human mind ... Read More

From the artist: These apron drawings were created in an effort to understand my role as a woman in a traditional male experience of being a soldier. They were drawn during the time when the Army was first allowing women into the infantry. I wanted to question what it meant to hold that “male” role of soldier while also being a mother. There is a conflict within these roles which I still cannot reconcile: the role of ... Read More

Hydraulic fracking utilizes large volumes of fresh water that become contaminated with chemical additives and salty brines.  Much of this wastewater is injected into deep rock formations that can impact drinking water aquifers or be released untreated, back into surface waters. Aaron’s arresting approach using aqueous media, expresses the mingling of ... Read More

Pop Figuration in Flux

Saundra Fleming with visiting artist Darren Haper
June 6 – 29, 2019 Humor and whimsy incite the viewer to make new personal associations and open a unique poetic vein.

Looking back at the many years of making images I found that there are a few that stand out and resonate - like visitors from another space and time, their mystery has only grown and deepened with the passage of time. At the time of their appearance these images felt like the harbingers of the future, full of intimations of what lay ahead, but now, years after I've made them, they seem at once very strange and familiar. I see them now as ghosts of future past ... Read More

"At Sea, the endless horizon is constant but moves like our boat cutting through the waves day and night with a steady hum." Expressionist Artist Mimi Cernyar Fox’s paintings explode from her canvases with an intense energy, not unlike the experience of spending time with the water’s rhythm. Fox’s illusionistic paintings and a reference to the poem “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” bring the viewer into the grandeur and mystery of the sea. “There was a ship,” said he. Just as you might feel lost and ... Read More

Artist statement: The area surrounding the mouth of the Skagit River, where it enters into Puget Sound in northwest Washington State is a fertile farming region called the Skagit Valley. It is probably best known for one particular crop which is typically grown in the spring of each year – tulips. Typically during April of each year large swaths of land in the Skagit Valley bloom forth with a riotous bonanza of color.

"Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art."   -Andy Warhol Surprise is inherent in Karen Graber’s work. Collaborating with disorder means trying not to control the use of materials, but rather to shake hands with the unknown, and always to remain curious. Loving the creative and physical process of painting, of being in the studio with all the possibilities, this is what it is all about: the ... Read More

Portraits in Time

Dorothy Anderson Wasserman
June 7-30, 2018

This is an exhibition of photo collage portraits; surrealistic in nature owing to the fluidity of the medium when exploring the illusive element of time. Wasserman takes all the photographs used in her work and assembles them by hand. The physicality of this method is closely connected with the history of collage ­making. The cutting, pasting, and assembly creates a rough, engaging surface. As a final step, the benefits of technology are utilized by digitizing the collage and printing it on rag paper, using pigmented inks. This helps to unify the differing surfaces ... Read More

Exhibition Statement:  Every image we form, every story we tell is a part of our self portrait. We are built like a jigsaw puzzle of stories, ideas and thoughts. We show ourselves fully at any given moment. We think we can hide our flaws, tell beautiful stories about ourselves to hide the truth. In truth, we can never hide our essence, our energy, our true flow. Growing up and maturing, is a process of self exploration. It brings big questions: Who am I? What is my role in the world around me? ... Read More
