Winston Wächter Fine Art is excited to participate in the Seattle Art Fair 2024. Featuring a selection of our represented artists, our booth examines shifting concepts of softness and fluidity across diverse forms, mediums, and styles.
Ethan Murrow portrays jubilant figures ensconced in detailed landscapes, caught in an early evening warmth. His scenes depict light as a character humming across the picture plane, while Zaria Forman’s abstracted glacial landscapes emanate motion through gestural shadows. Newly represented Seattle-based artist Xavier Kelley situates figures and snippets of text against indeterminate, vibrant fields of color, interrogating the movement of black and indigenous bodies suspended in space.
Northwest painters Susan Dory and Brian Sanchez both juxtapose starkly defined color fields with an internally defined flow, developing abstract worlds that retain a gentleness amidst severe lines. Tracy Rocca foregoes definition for immersive blankets of half-erased clouds, depicting the cycles of an incoming storm with detached grace. Aaron Leitz’ color study photographs similarly envelop the viewer with hazy colors in sharply articulated squares, while Casper Brindle’s light glyphs suppose soft-edged texture as a form unto itself, centering slivers of neon around a shrouded void.
Peter Gronquist’s mixed media ‘paintings’ render space in violent tension, with overlaid fragments of materials blurring into each other against acrylic, pastel backdrops. Michelle Weddle also complicates the picture plane with sweeping, gestural strokes around defined patches of color, suggesting negative space through abundance. Also featured are Catherine Howe and Kandis Susol, whose contrasting forms of abstracted nature both imply breezy movement. Howe’s shimmering floral compositions and Susol’s encaustic paper sculptures both combine fragility with resilience, expressing soft motion stiffened into place. This selection of work showcases the range of style, execution, and medium in our current roster of artists.
