Halogen Gallery has paired up with The Greenwood Collective and Urban Light Studios to put together this really fun toy and paintingfinstallation show featuring some notable locals and non-locals. The show, entitled Thought Processor, is a rotating show. Here’s the Seattle round-up:

Now through March 4th, 2010!

Alright, Chinese New Year has come and gone, but on display now at the Munky King are some Chinese New Year-inspired works, including this one, by Martin Hsu!

About it, Hsu says:

“I wanted to show that Tigers bring kids infinite happiness and vice versa.”

Guess that’s what the outstretched arms are for!

It’s easy for artists to be really sketched out about sending around 300dpi images of their works, because 300dpi is print quality; anyone who gets their hands on a 300dpi image can print a copy of an artist’s work.

Luckily for art lovers, Christopher Davison is not too concerned with this issue. In fact, he welcomes it. As of yesterday, he made this particular piece from his Disasters Are People Too series. Check it:

And here is an older piece:

Davison has 18 new pieces available on his website as well, if you’re down to take a look!

Artist Mark Mulroney can be extremely crude, with fluids and body parts galore, but that only serves to add character to his fascinating murals and sketchbook illustrations. This particular series of murals below interests me because of their atypical use of shape and space. It’s extremely uncomfortable, but that’s what makes it work. (His website is also very uncomfortable. I’m not sure if it works, but I guess it does, since I’m linking it. Here.)

Jonathan Zawada takes some age-old surrealistic influences and adds some mythical creature all up in them.

Fenk’s photography certainly captures the vibrance of life…

Heather Jansch’s horse might look like the Bodies Exhibit gone animal, but it’s actually made out of driftwood! Thank god!

One of Ray Caesar’s common characters seems to give up the ghost in a glowing, gold leaf-lined kind-of-way.

Huskmelk goes nuts with designs for Michael Jackson-related prints, and this might be our favorite from them.

I dare say this might be bit intense of a graphic to hang on your wall, but that doesn’t mean this Blik Graphic by Hannah Stouffer, entitled Darkest Night, doesn’t really, really rock. It’s almost Escher-ish in its lines… minus the skulls and shadows, of course. Buy that design and more here. (And below is a slightly more commonly appropriate piece available by Stouffer!)

Head over to the Fulcrum Gallery in Tacoma tonight for the closing night of Monument, Troy Gua’s current amazing show exploring the effects of war on, well, the human body. There’s also an artist talk going on tonight, which should be interesting. Reception starts at 6:00pm, but though it’s the closing reception, closing night isn’t until March 13th! Be confused!

Gua says:

“This installation is my memorial to loss. I’m not a soldier I have never seen war. How do we reconcile this experience? How do we grieve loss?”
