Arts They’re Coming Up
posted by on April 25 at 14:24 PM
Last year was a great one for new, graduating talent in Seattle: Susie J. Lee and Tivon Rice, among others, emerged from the crop. In a few weeks the annual BFA and MFA shows will open up, on May 11 at Cornish and May 12 at the Henry.
I know of at least one grad who’ll be in the UW show at the Henry, Nola Avienne. I ran into her work recently in the UW Art School gallery, and was momentarily stopped in my tracks at its spidery strangeness. Avienne makes her small sculptures (that also function as spatial drawings) out of metal filings and magnets:
Wow!
from Calgary, Alberta
Those magnet sculptures are beautiful.
Amazing! and did you know she'll be in a show at SOIL Gallery, opening First Thursday, June 7? It's at 112-3rd Avenue, in Pioneer Square. Stay tuned...
Just to clarify, at the Henry, most of the galleries for the MFA exhibition will be open to the public May 12, as Jen mentioned, but two artists will be installing in the sculpture court after the Bash - so the opening celebration will be Friday, May 25. And the show will be up though June 17.
Amazing creativity - Avienne's art suggests primitive abyssal life.

WOW! These pieces by Nola are whimsical, delightful and fun! I own one!
Avienne's work continues to utter amaze me. The work just gets better and better, more strange and beautiful and dangerous. Look out for Nola....
