This month Stephen is showing new acrylic & dried pigment paintings on canvas. These large works, from 22" x 36" to 60" x 80", are explorations into how energy transfers from spontanious marks to intentional expressionist statements of harmony and chaos. Building upon previous works the artist continues to experiment with how artistic marks transfer energy and how scale, tools and materials play their part in delivering creative energy to a surface.

Also showing: Rock Brothers new table "Dock Mate"

Additional exhibits :
The Vessel, 30" x 45" pigmented print on clear film
Nichole DeMent will have work in the upcoming exhibit homo sapien unadorned June 6th through August 1st at PELIGRO 109 N Glover St Twisp, Washington 98856

and at Doe Bay Resort, San Juan Island through May,2009.
Nichole is showing works from a series of infra-red photos of Washington Pass in the North Cascades. Dealing with topics of consumption and waste, she delivers beautiful images in greyscale while contributing to the contemporary dialog of finding the mix between needs and resources.

Stephen Rock has work at Fins Bistro in Issaquah Washington for the month of May. His sumi and gouache paintings are from an ongoing series "Pages of a Diary" and reflect a whimsical look at the world.

Also showing at the 8th Annual Recycle Art Show at Blowing Sands Gallery in Ballard is The 2nd Horseman. A 6' x 6' x 8' installation of reclaimed mill scraps, metal, tire and rope.

This month Stephen has a new mixed media work "Revised and Updated Map of North America" in the ArtsWest Artists Associates Group Show " Puppies and Ice Cream - a discourse on the contemporary sublime". This pigmented print on canvas with acrylic paint and collage, deals with the stream of consumption circleing the globe and how topographic, political and geographic mapping becomes obsolete when discussing the path of waste and currencies around the world.
