Hey everyone… we were voted best curated booth at the Seattle Art Fair by Vanguard Seattle!!!
“K. Imperial Fine Art, meanwhile, can appear like a raucous mix at first, but spend time with it and you see how it bridges a false aesthetic dichotomy: organic and geometric. There are Emil Alzamora’s figurative sculptures, which themselves vary from fleshy glazed porcelain to more neolithic zinc and concrete forms. Jud Bergeron’s precisely faceted towers and hooks in bronze and resin are a stark contrast, but cross your eyes and you begin to see a living form emerge again. Tahiti Pehrson’s hand cut paper cylinder is both floral and precisely circular, forming a bridge of its own.
Erika Mahr and Ruth Freeman play with the linkage between linear regularity and irregularity, the former in monochrome and the latter in jarring color. Hadley Radt creates dripping masses from triangular networks and Karen Margolis punctures and paints thick abaca paper until it resembles both a living tissue (under magnification) and a colored crystal. It’s almost too much to see all of these works together, simply because the space is small, but they play so well together regardless.”
