About Ego
Ego is an artist who has lived and worked in Seattle, Washington since the early 90's.
Using a range of different mediums, Ego focuses on creating detailed images of figures that seem to possess a kind of whimsical, macabre innocence.
His work has been showcased all around the globe.
Also showing in October in the Upstairs Gallery
Grady Gordon
"Been Seeing You around Lately"
Grady Gordon is originally from Santa Fe, NM. His art is deeply influenced by various mythologies from across the world. In each new series he finds a particular myth to re-appropriate into a new version, and of course creates the images solely in black and white. Grady utilizes the most crude mark-making instruments to bring about the characters that inhabit the invisible plane. He works entirely by removing thick black ink from a plexiglass surface. Themonotype print is a study of impermanence. Unlike other forms of printmaking the monotype offers only one copy. The original image on the plate is then given back to the ether, back into the fabric.
Grady Gordon is CO-founder of the NEOTROGLOCISM movement- sophisticated mark-making, crude objectivity.
Both Artists will be in attendance during the opening.
