Previous Exhibition
NAHOM GHIRMAY - Home Again
July 3 - August 2, 2025
Artists' Reception: First Thursday, July 3, 6-8 PM
Nahom Ghirmay is Seattle-based artist, who was born in Asmara, Eritrea in 1993. His work in the exhibition, Home Again, is rooted in the emotional landscapes of identity, memory, and the longing for belonging, often reflecting on the immigrant experience, and the search for home. Ghirmay’s tender portraits and narrative paintings evoke mood through facial expression, gesture, and his unique painterly style. Through his paintings, the artist explores displacement through imagined sanctuaries where the inner child seeks refuge and the notion of home evolves.
JOHN LYSAK - As Time Slows
July 3 - August 2, 2025
Artists' Reception: First Thursday, July 3, 6-8 PM
As Time Slows in an exhibition of new work by Olympia-based artist John Lysak. Lysak’s soft, dreamy ink & watercolor, and acrylic paintings are saturated with pigments and reveal strong emotional undercurrents. His practice is marked by a gestural, process-driven approach that embraces spontaneity and experimentation. Drawing on motifs from nature—animals, landscapes, and florals—Lysak constructs layered, atmospheric compositions where saturated pigments and diffused contours evoke memory, mood, and the subconscious. Nocturnal scenes of moonlit skies hovering amongst darkened forests awaken deeper emotions and curiosities. Lysak’s use of melancholic palettes and fluid mark-making invites the viewer into a meditative visual terrain that is both intimate and expansive.
