Lois Silver - 36 Paintings for 36 Years

In 36 Paintings for 36 Years, Lois Silver shares new oil paintings as she nods to 36 years of exhibiting with Harris Harvey Gallery, formerly known as the Lisa Harris Gallery. Celebrating this special long-term partnership between artist and gallery as well as the longevity of her professional career, Silver shares recent compositions in the signature blend of mirth and mood that have made her a beloved artist in Seattle’s art scene. Silver creates vibrant narrative paintings that often depict evocative social encounters between characters at parties, musical performances, diners, and in outdoor environments. At times cheerful, other times subdued or curious, her paintings portray cognitive entanglements that create tension between her characters. Other scenes are focused on solitary figures engrossed in highly personal moments of triumph, deep thought or isolation. Sharing her light-hearted sense of humor, many of Silver’s characters can be observed in awkward or unusual circumstances.
