Now Showing at the Convention Center
The Convention Center free public art gallery offers a unique showcase for artists and art and provides an opportunity for people of different cultures to enjoy a common experience. The art program consists of permanent works, objects loaned by museums and corporations as well as rotating exhibitions. Two- and three-dimensional works of art are displayed throughout the Galleria and in cases on Levels 1 through 5.
Definitions of Space
C.J. Swanson, David N. Goldberg, Alec Clayton and Patrice Tullai are painters residing in the Puget Sound Region. They are seasoned artists who have exhibited their paintings individually throughout the region and beyond. In their work you will see how each artist deals differently with the challenges of using color, shape and form to define space within the two dimensional picture plane in new and exciting ways.
The artists are involved with a continuous process of building their own lexicon. The content of their language contains vaious compbinations of spatial, calligraphic, geometric and color elements. They have in common a philosophy that states that art is an integral part of thier life's evolution. This show of paintings presents a rare opportunity to view their work together in a large open exhibit space. These paintings will expand the viewer's definition of space.
