| Upcoming Events | Collected Voices: Contemporary Native Art Opening Reception Friday August 20th from 5:00-7:00 pm This year, Chiaroscuro's annual Indian Market show, Collected Voices: Contemporary Native Art, features the work of eight contemporary Native artists. Collected Voices showcases the talents and visions of this extraordinary group of artists as a dialogue between the generations and between the diverse mediums of painting, ceramic, glass, and works on paper. Each artist brings his or her unique aesthetic to the powerful themes of identity, place, and changing traditions. Collected Voices features seven gallery artists and one new artist, Joe Feddersen, represented by Froelick Gallery in Portland, Oregon. In addition to the late Harry Fonseca, the returning artists include, Rick Bartow, Yatika Starr Fields, Lisa Holt and Harlan Reano, Rose B. Simpson, and Kay Walkingstick. August 20th through September 10th Gunnar Plake: The Light Within Opening Reception Friday September 17th from 5:00-7:00 pm Whether it's a shot of condors soaring through the desert sky or of the Colorado River far below, Gunnar Plake captures the essence of seeing while in motion. A sweeping motion performed during the exposure provides a clarity of its own: while details vanish, patterns emerge, the land comes alive in these large scale abstractions. September 17th through October 16th Peter Millet: Woman at the Well Opening Reception Friday September 17th from 5:00-7:00 pm Seattle based sculptor Peter Millett creates geometric compositions, in metal or painted wood, which engage the viewer in a dialogue about shape and space. In Millett's first solo show at Chiaroscuro, he draws inspiration from an old blues song by staging a scene of abstract sculpture. Woman at the Well is a collection of geometric sculptures containing the essence of human forms through distinct angles and volumes. Using folded sheet metal or wood to explore a geometry-based visual language, Millett incorporates a refined, modern sensibility to his work. Millet's sculptural configurations are both bold and graceful, and his work often plays upon the presence of the object and the emptiness of the space which surrounds it.
