All right. So we have two more presidential “debates” coming up, and an election in 33 days. As Bruce Lee advised, when we can’t control external circumstances, we can still choose how we respond to them. While it would be irresponsible to choose to wait this out under a rock (much as we might like to), we must also take mind-clearing breaks from the incessant news cycle.
Can you guess what I’m going to suggest? Take in some art. Galleries are open and eager for visitors, no purchase necessary. Immerse yourself in lush green paintings at Linda Hodges Gallery, courtesy of Seattle artists Kimberly Trowbridge and Cable Griffith (up through Oct. 31). The former shares work from her residency at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, landscapes of deep emerald, dark gray and lime splashes. Griffith’s new body of fantastical work resembles forests as they might exist on some sister planet, recognizably leafy but with a humorous glint (kind of like a houseplant headpiece).
Or head to Traver Gallery, where the new show, Bigs and Smalls, features 20 pieces of glowing neon sculpture by 10 artists (each of whom contributed one large and one small work). Curated by local glass artist Jen Elek, the exhibit exemplifies new trends in neon art — taking it well beyond business signage and into abstract art. (Seattle’s own Western Neon School of Art is helping to boost that trend.)
The works are a mix of linear and curvy, monochrome and multihued, meditative and particularly timely — such as “Neon Wallpaper #1,” by local artist Megan Stelljes, in which everything is quite literally bananas. Step into the light. Consider the neon gas moving effortlessly through the glass tubes. Perhaps it will give you a momentary glow, perhaps it will spark a new mode of flow.
