Utrecht GALLERY!

 Galery window
We wanted to show your art!

Denis Fitzpatrick came up with a great idea, make our Pike street  facing window a place to show art.

So come in and drop off a bio, images and a show resume, or you can leave a comment on the blog with your website link. The images must be indicative of what you want to show, please, do not bring in the actual works. Due to the nature of the space we are looking for 4 to 7, works  24″x24″ or larger, ready to hang.  Shows are bi-monthly. 

Come on by to find out more, ask for Denis or Chris.

Shawn Beesley
Shawn’s art is currently hanging in the Utrecht window. His paintings depict everyday life from a minds eye. Each work is another potentially epic day of life. Shawn makes paper cut outs, glues them to canvas and then paints with acylics. This method gives a low relief 3d realism to the work.

All you have to to is walk by to see the work! YEAH STREET ART!

January, In store Demo

Paper Sculpture demonstration on Thursday January 29th starting at 2pm.

This is a must see for any paper enthusiast and Pop Folk fans. Sean Beesley, a Seattle artist, has been a painting for over 20 years. He combines paper and acrylic to create extravagant Pop Folk sculptures of football players, monsters, robots, custom boxes, and low relief paintings on canvas.

Here is what he had to say about his latest commissioned work, a giant Man o’ Warship mobile.

    “I was Commissioned to do a mobile made from paper of an 18th Century Man o’ Warship.
    I finished the piece but had no where to store it until delivery. Denis Fitzpatrick (my boss a Utrecht) was kind enough to let me hang it from the ceiling at work. During the transport to the store a gust of wind sprang the butts of the masts. So during my days off I came into work to fix the ship.
    On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I will be at the demo desk working on the ship. It is made from 3ply Bristol board and acrylic gel as the glue, and chopsticks for the spars. It has 20 guns, 4 cannonades and 2 Stern chasers.”

Come in on Thursday January 29th at 2pm, get great advice and talk to Shawn about his work and the techniques he uses to create these great sculptures.
