‘Painted On’
(ART) Curator Carrie E. A. Scott (a sometime Stranger scribe) is just getting going at the new Hedreen Gallery at Seattle University. Her second show mishmashes well-known painters (Brian Murphy and Seattle U prof/prostitute-painter Francisco Guerrero) with surprises like Edward Matlock, whose The Real Estate Boom at first looks like a prosaic portrait of two parents and their kid in their backyard. It grows more threatening the more you look at it, just like Brad Biancardi’s inviting, claustrophobic, shining room, or the phrase “prostitute-painter.” (Lee Center for the Arts, 901 12th Ave, 296-2244. Tues—Sat 1—6 pm, free, through Aug 25.)
