New Chihuly Show Opens Tonight at Traver Gallery
It’s the height of summer in Seattle so every gallery from downtown to Pioneer Square will be abuzz with people during tonight’s First Thursday art walk. A sure hit is Dale Chihuly’s new reflective show opening at the Traver Gallery:
The fluid forms, intricate designs and unexpected textures of Dale Chihuly’s new Baskets and Cylinders invite continuing contemplation, while his new drawings are marked with striking, expressive lines executed in a range of rich metallic paints. These luscious, opulent hues and the subtle, exacting use of color connect the drawings to the works in glass, creating a thread of contemporary sophistication that runs throughout this earthy body of work.
Marquand produced Chronicle’s The Art of Dale Chihuly to accompany the recent exhibition at the de Young in San Francisco. That show covered a retrospective of the artist’s recent work. Tonight’s opening is sure to offer insight into where Chihuly is headed with new work.
Through September 20. Opening reception 8/7 from 5-8 p.m. Traver Gallery, 110 Union Street at First Ave. Seattle
