Curtis Talwst Santiago: Pay de Devil – Brang! Brang! – Pay de Devil

Curtis Talwst Santiago: Pay de Devil – Brang! Brang! – Pay de Devil

Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton, AB - To Aug 29

by Michael Turner

Born to Trinidadian immigrant parents in Edmonton in 1979, Curtis Talwst Santiago worked as a musician before he came to attention in the mid-2010s for his miniature dioramas. Set inside hinged jewel boxes of varying sizes (for rings, wristwatches, necklaces, etc.), Santiago’s dioramas elaborate on worlds drawn from headlines, myth, personal reminiscences and visions. Though his approach to art making is grounded in the improvisatory nature of his musical experiences, Santiago received ... Read More

Wolves: The Art of Dempsey Bob

Audain Art Museum, Whistler, BC - To Aug 14

by Robin Laurence

The excitement generated by Wolves, a 50- year survey of the work of Tahltan-Tlingit artist Dempsey Bob, is palpable. Throngs of art lovers attended the show’s opening in early April and many more visitors are expected this summer. Bob is internationally acclaimed, not only for his obvious talent and technical skills but also for his deep knowledge of his ancestors’ visual culture and oral histories. He is lauded for moving tradition forward through the innovative and highly ... Read More

Turning Inward, Judy Chicago, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation

Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education, Portland, OR - June 2-Sep 23

by Allyn Cantor

Judy Chicago’s lifelong artistic explorations are rooted in art as activism, believing in the power of art as a vehicle for change and societal transformations. Born in 1939, she was an early pioneer of feminist art and education; Chicago founded the first Feminist Art Program in 1970 at California State University.

In her extensive body of work created over six decades, Chicago has employed a gamut of materials and approaches. Her most famous installation, The Dinner ... Read More

Alberto Giacometti: Toward the Ultimate Figure

Alberto Giacometti: Toward the Ultimate Figure

Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, WA - July 14-Oct 9

by Susan Kunimatsu

One of the most distinguished artists of the 20th century, Alberto Giacometti is best known as a sculptor. In the decades following World War II, when Abstract Expressionism was the dominant movement in art, Giacometti diverged from the mainstream to focus on the figure. By attenuating the human form, minimizing color and emphasizing the texture of his materials, he abstracted the figure to create emotionally powerful works.

Open
Have some fun this week and visit the Alberta Craft Gallery in Calgary for KITSCH: CRAFT SO BAD THAT IT’S GOOD. Showing until July 23.⁠
⁠
In the spirit of fun, the Alberta Craft Council invited members to submit works that “will make you laugh and cringe all at once.” Judging from some of the entries – a ceramic hybrid of a white rabbit and a rat (Dale Learner ’s Jerome), a plastic barnyard under siege from aluminum buffalo (Erik Lee’s Portrayal), and a study of a camera wielding filmmaker (Laura O’Connor’s Duke of Bad Taste) – the artists made the most of the call.⁠

Like a number of younger landscape artists, such as Ryan Molenkamp, Christine Sharp (@csharpart) abstracts nature into compositions of dazzling complexity and interlocking blocks of color. ⁠
⁠
See her solo show, CHRISTINE SHARP: NORTHWEST ASPECT, until July 30 at the Harris Harvey Gallery (@harris_harvey_gallery), Seattle until July 30.⁠
⁠
Although works are titled with place-names, one is hard put to identify any of the scenery, including Mount St. Helens erupting. Instead, chromatic splinters coexist with swirling areas of solid color. More like tectonic plates than horizon lines or foregrounds of land, Sharp’s oils challenge our expectations of what nature looks like.⁠

Visit PDX Contemporary Art (@pdxcontemporaryart( in Portland starting from July 2-20 for MARJORIE DIAL: NEW WORKS.⁠
⁠
Dial makes large ceramic vessels with writing inscribed on them. She calls her pandemic-era work “a meditation on the loss of intimacy – the absence of conversation, confessions, contact – that was a collective experience.” She made heavy functional storage vessels as metaphors for holding space for each other as well as for holding on in general. The wildfires in the Pacific Northwest in 2020 inspired Dial to add ash to her glazes, creating an iridescent amber finish that looks like flames.⁠

Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day with a visit to Coastal Peoples Fine Arts Gallery in Vancouver for YEOMANS TRILOGY: ENDURING SPIRITS, until July 15.⁠
⁠
A multi-generational exhibition, the “trilogy” is the family of husband and father Don (carving and painting), wife and mother Trace (design, sewing and mixed media), and their son, Kyran Yeomans (carving and painting as well as film, photography and music). Based in Haida Gwaii, and of Haida/Métis (Don) and Haida/Ukrainian ancestry (Trace), the Yeomans present a body of work in a range of media that speaks to the “enduring spirt” of family, in both art and life.⁠

Opening June 25 at the Frye Art Museum (@fryeartmuseum) in Seattle. ROMARE BEARDEN: ABSTRACTION.⁠
⁠
While Jacob Lawrence is the most well-known African American artist, Romare Bearden is equally admired and respected. Like Lawrence, Bearden captured scenes of everyday life in Harlem and elsewhere. At the Frye, see his abstractions – and closer ties to modern art gained firsthand from his stays in Paris, where he met Picasso, Léger and Braque. Once he was back in New York, his studies of Chinese ink painting freed him for the leap to abstraction.⁠

Until August 14 at the Bellevue Arts Museum (@bellevueartsmuseum). Lovers of Art Nouveau, make a date to see L’AFFICHOMANIA: THE PASSION FOR FRENCH POSTERS.⁠
⁠
One of the greatest achievements of the Art Nouveau period (1890-1910) is the elaborate and ingenious posters designed to advertise everything from entertainment venues, cigarette rolling papers and famous actresses to milk. Taking advantage of new color printing processes, better paper and a bustling world of Parisian commerce, the color lithographs became an exciting new urban sight, called by some a “color revolution.” Artists Alphonse Mucha, Jules Chéret and Henri de Toulouse- Lautrec are among those featured.⁠
