Lol Gil’s “Thirsty” at Roq La Rue.
Opening on Friday, March 8th, 2019 at Roq La Rue Gallery in Seattle, Washington is artist Lola Gil’s masterful solo exhibition, “Thirsty.”
Based on a style she calls “Narrative Escapism,” Gil’s works exhibit a soft tension, with soft, creamy painting style contrasting with often tension filled narratives. For this show Gil not only explores the title’s definition with narratives of drought and climate change, but also the more ambiguous slang term meaning an insatiable lust for life and creation. “Thirsty” exhibits a formidable jump in style in both technical prowess as well as a tightened narrative running throughout out her work, and we are absolutely thrilled to exhibit this exciting and provocative show.
The exhibition will be on view until April 7th, 2019.

Miranda Tacchia’s “Scandalized” at Hashimoto Contemporary.
Currently on view at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City is artist Miranda Tacchia’s solo exhibition, “Scandalized.”
With a background in animation and character design, Miranda Tacchia’s concise drawings offer biting and witty observations of dating, relationships, feminism and being a woman today. Each of her titles is paired with a colorfully hued and emotive female figure, such as “When he stumbles over his words every time he looks at you” pictured above. Each of her characters simultaneously embodies vulnerability, strength and self-confidence.
Working on a small scale, Tacchia’s work beckons the viewer in to investigate each character, each narrative and each side long glance. The highly relatable nature of her work perfectly embodies intimate, often hilarious, everyday moments of women moving through the world.
The exhibition will be on view until March 23rd, 2019.

Lauren YS’s “Xenophilia” at Hashimoto Contemporary.
Currently on view at Hashimoto Contemporary in New York City is artist Lauren YS’s outstanding solo exhibition, “Xenophilia.”
Inspired by Shunga (traditional Japanese erotic art) and science fiction, Lauren YS has created a world filled with writhing and cavorting characters that defy traditional categorization or binaries. Animals and humans morph and meld with one another, recalling symbols and metaphors from YS’ multi-cultural background and influences.
Each piece celebrates the “other,” deviants and monstrous miscreants entwined in joyful exploration. YS states, “The concept of ‘xenophilia’ expands to promote a ubiquitous enthusiasm for all which is strange and other within the bounds of positivity and consent, leaving the viewer with the unequivocal notion that, in the end, the freaks have it.”
The exhibition is on view until March 23rd, 2019 and should absolutely be sought out if in the area.
