Good times and great conversations were had at the opening of Lindsey Carr’s “Augmented Animal” and Handiedan’s “Circulus”. Both artists made the trip to Seattle in order to lend some insight into their new works showing at the Roq La Rue Gallery through May 5th. Handiedan’s intricate pieces are more than just collages, and they must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
Taking on three-dimensions, each piece is abundant with detail. Limbs dissolve into embossed backgrounds and Handiedan’s own hand drawn critters. Lindsey Carr documents a variety of fauna and animals, with just enough capriciousness to make you smile. The monkeys take on a life of their own, lent not only by their surroundings, but also by their titles. Colors and detail abounds in “Gifts From The Red Barbarians” with perfect application of acrylic inks and gold leaf highlights throughout. – Robbie Lowery
