New Venue comes to Second Saturday ArtWalk June 13
Sticks and Stones present "How the West Was One" for June 13 ArtWalk
The show will include some of West’s known pieces, including those shown at 2014’s Art Basel, as well as new compositions in what has become his signature style. West’s art is characterized by mixing opposites and colliding worlds, all underscored by the finesse of his classically-trained hand. West paints with deeply adept traditional skill yet his his work is anything but expected.
West’s expressive pop art style boldly speaks to the wide range of topics he grapples with in his art. From religion to technology, Americana cartoons to Greek mythology, West explodes the canvas with his color, shape, concept and delivery. Though often drawing on classical themes, West subverts the traditional narrative with his abstract, surreal and graphic style, an increasingly recognized hallmark of his work. Many of West’s pieces are 5 feet or larger, making the viewer feel almost voyeuristic in the intimate delivery of West’s subjects.
A native of Harlem, NY, West has been quickly gaining national and international recognition for his work. He has shown extensively in New York, as well as Chicago, Miami, San Diego, Harlem and the Hamptons. West has been featured by NY Daily News, Complex Magazine, Elite Daily and Hypebeast, among others. Additionally, West has collaborated with ASAP Ferg, ASAP Rocky, Alicia Keys, Porshe, BMW, Puma, Footlocker, Heineken and more.

Tyler Edwards Performs at His Word Found Here for June 13 ArtWalk
During this time period, he also began writing acoustic based songs. "I started to understand the value of the silence that acoustic music can create. This excited and challenged me to make sure I really mean the words I write and sing that pierce the vacancy." With the release of Tyler's latest solo EP - "Too Young for Love," he reveals some personal stories and questions. The first track, Headed for the Coast, directly communicates his plans to move to the West Coast, which he did in January 2015 after a cross- country tour from Florence, SC to Seattle, WA. The title track is a song he says he wrote the morning of his 25th birthday and realized that love is hard but necessary to truly living. Each song on this record has a personal story or idea behind it. So, if you want to learn more about the songwriter, simply listen the songs.

Annie's Art and Frame hosts Brian Hatfield in June

| Popbot by Brian Hatfield |
Though I’m a painter working with water soluble oils, I’ve come to realize I could just as easily consider myself a collage artist. Sometimes an idea for a piece will come into my head fully formed, but most of the time I will sit on the floor and spread out around me the objects and images that inspire me. This process always reminds me of playing with toys as a child. From these sessions of play, I make decisions on choice of characters, locations and composition.

It's fitting that the new venue in the Second Saturday ArtWalk The Bergschrund is featuring the mountain photography of John Scurlock. The Bergschrund is the new tap room of the NW Peaks Brewery, located half a block south of the brewery.
Since 2007, John has been involved in a project to photograph every glacier in the lower 48 states, in cooperation with a glaciologist at Portland State University. He’s also photographed in cooperation with researchers at the USGS, Western Washington University and the University of Washington. And he’s collaborated with North Cascades National Park and North Cascades Institute, as well as organizations such as The Wilderness Society and the Skagit and Whatcom Land Trusts.
Enjoy stunning views of the places we usually see only from the vantage point of our skis: the North Cascades, the Cascade Range in Washington and Oregon, the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia, the Rockies of Canada and the US, the Columbia/Purcell mountains of BC and the Coast Mountains of Northwest British Columbia/Southeast Alaska. The plane he uses on these excursions? One he built himself from a kit!
