Step Into Milo Duke's Surreal World At Umpqua Bank

Umpqua Bank has partnered with the 54th St Atelier, a group of artists, artist-instructors and students to curate monthly shows in the Ballard branch from March through September. Group shows will be hung in the bank lobby for one night only, on the 2nd Saturday of the month. There will also be a solo show hung in the gallery for the entire month. 

"Tales of the Third Creation", showing in the Umpqua Bank gallery through March, are beautiful and sweetly surreal oil paintings by Milo Duke that were inspired by the Popul Vuh of the ancient Maya.

Paul Knutzen's Surreal Landscapes Show at BalMar During September Artwalk

Paul Knutzen is a local artist who currently lives in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of South Seattle. Paul attributes his interest in art to his father, a painter himself, who exposed Paul to a wide range of art as a child. He graduated from Seattle Central Community College with a degree in graphic art and soon found a home in the video game industry, where he spent over a decade creating 3D environments.

Much of Paul’s artwork reflects his strong affection for architecture and the organic elements found in man-made structures. He enjoys experimenting with different mediums and surfaces in order to create subtle and unpredictable textures in his artwork. When he is not working in his garage studio, Paul can often be found wandering the city streets with a camera looking for inspiration in unusual buildings, trains, colorful signage, or local street art.
