Worlds Seen And Unseen: Paintings By Gary Faigin

Harris Harvey Gallery, Seattle, WA - Feb 5 – 28

by Matthew Kangas

It’s not often that an art critic is able to sustain a career as an artist, not to mention co-found an art school along the lines of the Art Students League of New York (the Gage Academy of Art), but that is what the late Gary Faigin (1950–2025) achieved. Harris Harvey gives viewers a chance to survey Faigin’s fantastical oeuvre, including his surrealistic paintings bordering on science-fiction illustration, immaculate still lifes, and implausible landscapes with steam locomotive trains. harrisharveygallery.com
