Artist network & marketplace for Seattle & Pacific Northwest art communities.
Celebrating Over 25 Years - 1999-2024!

ArtX Contemporary is proud to present In the Dark There is Light, a winter group exhibition featuring works by Juan Alonso-Rodríguez, Caryn Friedlander, Alla Goniodsky, Elaine Hanowell, HiiH Lights, Tiao Nithakhong Somsanith, William Song, and more. Art has the power to help us find joy and connection in dark times. It can bring warmth and light to our homes, uplifting the spirit. The community built around art, between artists, viewers, patrons, and supporters, provides energy and solace.  

In this exhibition, the ways that artists evoke light and dark are explored through mediums including paint, handmade paper, metal embroidery, textile, and more. Moody abstract paintings by Caryn Friedlander and Alla Goniodsky develop intense contrast between light and dark, creating paintings that glow with a sense of internal light. Minimalist works by Juan Alonso-Rodríguez and William Song explore the potential for color to emanate light and affect the viewer emotionally. Lighted sculpture by Elaine Hanowell and HiiH Lights juxtapose handmade paper and light to create a warming glow. Leaves by Tiao Nithakhong Somsanith are intricately beaded in hammered gold, silver, and copper to create a glittering reflection on the impermanence of life.   

ArtX Contemporary is proud to present our second solo exhibition with Fulgencio Lazo, “Tejiendo Historias | Weaving Stories.” Lazo explores cultural identity and the power of community in a new series of vibrant, abstract paintings and sculptures. This exhibition is supported by the City of Seattle Office of Arts & Culture.

 

About the Artist:

Fulgencio Lazo is an internationally recognized artist whose vibrant abstract paintings and sculptures are an exploration of cultural identity and the power of community. Lazo works between his studios in Seattle, WA, and his hometown of Oaxaca, Mexico. Having immigrated to the United States in his mid-twenties, Lazo has used his creative practice to preserve the cultural traditions that sustain his identity as a member of Mexico’s indigenous Zapotec people, with a particular focus on its traditional music and communal practices.

 

Over the last three decades, Lazo has worked to promote and grow the Latine artistic and cultural scene in Seattle. He has been an integral part of some of the region’s most iconic Latine traditions, including the Day of the Dead celebrations at Tieton, Seattle Art Museum, and Tacoma Art Museum. Lazo was the recipient of the 2018 Mayor’s Arts Award, and has exhibited his work in more than 50 solo exhibitions throughout the United States, Mexico, France, and Japan.
