June Gallery Night ryan james fine arts
This June join us as our Kirkland gallery presents four artists whose work explores the complex interplay between internal and external worlds. Lezlie Jane’s Painted Pieces of Paper series invites viewers into the quieter, contemplative spaces of the self. Her painted collage works act as portals, bridging the tangible with the introspective, creating an experience that feels both personal and universal. Elissa Voland’s abstract compositions embrace the tension of shifting elements, resolving chaos into unity. Her art reflects an adventurous approach to abstraction, allowing each piece to evolve organically—like solving a puzzle whose pieces are constantly in flux.
Guest artist Kalina Winska presents speculative landscapes on canvas, wood panels, and paper, where she blurs the lines between reality and its technological echoes. Drawing inspiration from weather patterns, climate models, and virtual realms, Winska’s work offers a vision of our world where nature and technology merge into new forms of representation. Sculptor Dan Freeman’s installation, Bullet Proof First Grader with Botanicals, provides a powerful commentary on gun violence in schools. His poignant juxtaposition of a protective case and backpack with organic materials confronts the unsettling normalcy of violence in spaces meant to be safe, challenging us to reflect on the innocence lost and the urgent need for change. Together, these artists invite us to pause, reflect, and question the world around us.
