Currently Hanging: Gala Bent

Posted by on Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 7:39 AM

As far as I know, the only place this is hanging currently is on Seattle artist Gala Bent's web site, but I wanted to remind you of it.

As a side note, I feel that the decor at the new bar Unicorn, on Pike, ought to be illegal. Or already is.

Bent's oeuvre is full of images you'll want to return to over and over, but here's just one standout, She Works Hard for the Money. Considering Bent has three young kids (all boys) and two jobs teaching and illustrating in addition to doing her own work, I'd say she does work hard for the money.

The Unicorn website: "This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible." Hmm, maybe it WAS illegal.

Primo art, Ms. Bent.

"She Works Hard For The Money" a song by the same name, an anachronistic guilty pleasure sung by disco diva Donna Summer. Ilike has a free version if googled.
