Opening Reception: “First Thursday,” March 2, 6-8pm

Greg Kucera Gallery is excited to announce our fourth exhibition by Seattle artist, Norman Lundin. The exhibition, titled The Space Between Things, is the artist’s continued exploration of visual detail through imagined still-lifes, studio views, and landscape vistas. Working primarily from memory rather than direct observation, Lundin’s paintings incorporate everyday objects and settings to create seemingly casual, but in actuality quite formal, compositions.

“As a painter many things get my attention but what interests me most, is the space between things. My work incorporates content that has little or no emotional association. The objects I paint are ubiquitous in our daily lives and are, essentially, psychologically neutral. This is intended, as it then allows the light and volume of space (which are fairly fragile as subject matter) to become what is most important. The objects are not there to be described; they are there to describe the space.

To have expressive content is important to me as well. However, I believe that expression does not come from an artist’s intention, but arrives only as a by-product of the act of painting – as such, a gift of those, often fickle, Angels of Good Fortune who are known to be seen occasionally in the company of artists.”
