Grand Opening
Pacini Lubel Gallery opened on July 1, 2004 in a 3500 square foot exhibition space in Pioneer Square. The exhibition space is located at 207 2nd Avenue South. The gallery will present both regional and national artists working in glass, ceramic, and paint.
The art presented at the Pacini Lubel Gallery, especially the two dimensional works, will have an emphasis on the figure. Paintings often reach into political, social, cultural and spiritual realms. For example Beverly McIver often explores race relations and familial dynamics. Tim Lowly works through the eye of a father nurturing a profoundly handicapped 18 year old daughter. Laura Ross Paul creates work with a spiritual focus. Gaela Erwin creates paintings that test her religious faith. Forrest Williams questions interpersonal relations and societal expectations. Geoff Laurence creates work that explores a multitude of current social issues in concomitance with his Jewish upbringing.
Pacini Lubel will present the work by a diverse group of ceramists that explore and express the broad expression of this field. The sculptural scale of Michael Luceroâs\ work has expanded while retaining his unique surface color and imagery. Form and scale are integral to the works of Bennett Bean and Nancy Selvin. Color and texture are central to Bean Finneran as she creates pieces that are both dynamic and transitional in nature. Ronna Neuenschwander is influenced by African culture. Doug Jeck continues to create work that challenges our sense of reality while Adrian Arleo develops a world that unifies man and nature.
The glass artists represented by the gallery present a multitude of expression. Mary Van Cline creates a peaceful aesthetic that calms the viewer. Paul Stankardâs relationship with nature is expressed through his flame worked sculpture. Jay Muslerâs new work harkens to a world of fantasy; forms reminiscent of a J.R.R. Tolkien forest come to life. KeKe Cribbs creates sculpture that integrates painting, glass work and ceramic. Judith La Scolla develops classic forms with beautiful backdrops and although Steven Weinberg resides in Rhode Island, he incorporates nautical influences that seemingly represent the waterways of the Northwest.
Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
