In this world of product as art and art as product it's refreshing to see artists who just shred and thrash around the subject of being human. Like most artists from Berkley, Oakland and San Fransico's mission district (read Beautiful Losers) Skinner, Jay Howell and Scott Barry all reflect the naked humanity that popular art seems to miss.

Scott Barry is a classic new breed artist/designer. Not simply limited to doodling, painting or sewing he shames west coast art directors by making wonder-filled ideas easy to understand. His communications are solid and bold enough to change the way you think.
Skinner is a freak, a spaz and full of energy. His wild style is a tiger attack on innocence. Discribing his own work Skinner thinks of it as, "a psychedelic barrage of fantastical monstrosities brought to life through the mind of an obsessed child".
Jay Howell was interviewed on Fecal Face recently and when asked if he had a mantra he said, "Take a stand against the jerks from hell. They are out there and they want you to feel bad just because they do. You will not be taken down, YOU are from Tuff Town and they are from the lame village across the river. We launch rocks at them for a reason." Jay's work backs these words up, better then any fan-boy words I could wack out right now.

Grass Hut Gallery
811 e. burnside
poertland, or

Seattle is Portland's big indifferent sister city. Seattle has about 80% more of every cool thing Portland has to offer. However Seattle has grown old and boring, so folks from Seattle come to Portland for tiny vacations, intimate music shows and killer little art shows.
Shawn Wolfe and Le Merde, two of Seattle's most renowned and collected artists are coming to Portland because we have something here that doesn't exist anywhere else: Grass Hut Gallery and gooooood vibez.

If you don't already know who these Seattle artists are yet, read on...

Shawn Wolfe's graphic, painted and sculptural works are ponderous, playful, pointless and panicky; chronicling human hubris with sincere and heartfelt ambivalence. His work has appeared in Emigre, Metropolis, GQ Japan, Relax, While You Were Sleeping, Adbusters, and Print. He and wife Jessica have made Seattle their home since 1990.
shawnwolfe.com

Le Merde is Seattle, Washington based husband and wife duo Mike and Michelle Kelly. Mike who is from Tucson, Arizona and Michelle a native Seattleite have been working together since they met in London in 2000. Their work ranges from paintings and sculpture to hand cast figures. They draw inspiration from all walks of pop-culture, including heavy metal music and 1970’s cartoon characters.
More of their work can be seen at lemerde.com
