Christopher Mathie on painting:


"Painting, to me, is a practice... kind of like meditation.
Some days you get somewhere...
Some days it is just the act of painting, moving, mixing, being.
The results are not important... it is the act of doing that matters.
The rewards will come in spirit, in strength, in healing.
And sometimes you will have a good painting too, the rest get painted over."

"Art Guide, The Big Six: Seattle's Longest-Lasting Art Dealers"
By Matthew Kangas

A television salesman, a department store executive, a lawyer-turned-librarian, a former graduate student in American art history, a psychologist, and an interior designer: these are the people who became Seattle's longest-lasting art dealers, respectively, Gordon Woodside, Donald Foster, Francine Seders, Sam Davidson, Barbara Mack, and William Traver. As the Seattle art scene reaches an uneasy maturity in the midst of a troubled economy, various social and political crises, and shifting collector demographics, it is worth talking to the stalwarts who became the establishment and who saw the transition from a coterie of wealthy people directly supporting artists to a wide-open art community with many galleries and several hundred practicing and exhibiting artists.

They have witnessed the rise and fall of the Northwest School and its replacement by a far bigger, younger and more diverse group of artists. Today's Big Six dealers concentrate on a mixture of emerging and well-known artists, a broad variety of media including the crafts, and high standards for presentation, display, publications and lighting, along with the hard-won assumptions of honesty, integrity and reliable advice.

"In truly creative pursuits there is no 'right,' or 'wrong,'
there is only self expression,
which is the highest form of personal freedom!" Christopher Mathie, 2009

 

 

Today's vision: By Christopher Mathie — April 2, 2009

Sitting at my little orange desk in the corner, by piano, paintings, pottery and books
looking out over grass, trees, and great open cloud-filled sky
two bald eagles just soared through, thought they might mate, saw that once before.
Thinking about the Blue Mountains in Australia, the Dalai Lama and others.
Peacefulness fills breath.
A sudden heavy exhale with vision.
The sound of air in my nostrils pushes forth memories of whales breaching,
pushing air out their great blow holes.
My air the same.
Sounds like heavy waves crashing in my mind on the beach — the same, the same.
This is what I know...
Rushing air, falling stream, crashing waves, breaching whales, the human exhale —
all the same.
