relies on taking a broader view cable griffith 2013 early video games have been a strong influence on me ever since i started playing them as a kid my dad was copywriter for early atari commercials and we had an atari system in our home soon after it came out looking back it s funny to think that the 8 bit graphics were so mesmerizing but they were it wasn t hard for me to suspend my disbelief and become engrossed into the block y wonky worlds created forme to navigate as the technology advanced i continued to be amazed at how increasingly realistic the graphics progressed with a finer pixel resolution and ever expanding color palette i am still attracted to video games and enjoy playing them when time permits but i ve been increasingly interested in how my visual history has been

response to musical compositions based on james joyce s volume of poetry of the same name the artists included in chamber music span generations and reflect a broad aesthetic spectrum what unites them is a shared dedication to artist generated activities that strengthen seattle s arts community beyond their own admirable art practices chamber music is thus both a celebration of individual mark making and a cooperative composition about love for this city and how artists choose to leave their mark on it image of us and them ii acrylic on paper 2013 16 x 20 inches up up down down left right

painting begins early video games have been a strong influence on me ever since i started playing them as a kid my dad was copywriter for early atari commercials and we had an atari system in our home soon after it came out looking back it s funny to think that the 8 bit graphics were so mesmerizing but they were it wasn t hard for me to suspend my disbelief and become engrossed into the block y wonky worlds created forme to navigate as the technology advanced i continued to be amazed at how increasingly realistic the graphics progressed with a finer pixel resolution and ever expanding color palette i am still attracted to video games and enjoy playing them when time permits but i ve been increasingly interested in how my visual history has been informed so strongly both by the early flat side scrolling games and my love of painting i have experimented with techniques that have attempted to bring the flatness of painting into 3d space but i keep coming back to the challenge and contradiction of painting aka the hanging window i love paintings that are both so obviously flat and seductively spatial at the same time as with the early video games it s not hard for me to suspend my disbelief and fall into an even clumsily painted world my current paintings are composed of distinct and separate parts brush strokes that pose as things within an invented world and all these painted parts are at the same time a representation of something within the window while existing as a direct and obvious product of the tool that made it i e the line or thing is as wide as the brush that made it this is not unsimilar to early pixel graphics another similarity between painting and the video games i love is the promise of vast adventure through an uncharted land in painting i ve struggled between knowing and not knowing for a long time side note here s a great clip of philip guston in his studio talking about this position to me knowing feels like a resolution and not knowing feels like endless possibility manifest destiny of the imagination perhaps i ve made paintings in the past that related directly to previous paintings or picked up where others left off but this new series does that in a very noticeable way while combining all the the ideas i ve just related these side scrolling paintings are a flat as can be with still an openness of space and the ever ongoing promise of discovery plus i m having a blast so far working on them i really don t have any clue where they re going it s almost like a choose your own adventure book with paint on canvas although in this case all the possibilities with eventually exist at once i can decide to move up down left or right in a ongoing exquisite corpse abstract landscape i can t wait to see where this leads and i m excited to share my travels on the blog posted by cable griffith at 11 31 am 0 comments tuesday april 24 2012 studio visit with sharon butler artist writer sharon butler was recently in town for her
