Torsos and other elemental abstractions serve to further this unique artistic vision. The Pacini Lubel Gallery is situated in Pioneer Square in a 3500 square foot exhibition space in the heart of Seattle’s gallery district. Centrally located, the space presents both two dimensional and three dimensional artists from the fields of ceramic, glass and paint. Participating artists have been drawn from the rich and diverse artistic community of the Northwest, in addition to artists like Bashor from all regions of the country. The gallery is committed and determined to present well respected, freshly innovative and daringly provocative art to the Northwest and patrons throughout the country.

On Saturday another exhibit opens. Eric Bashor has created 11 new landscapes that will be on display at Artemis Gallery November 5 – 27. The oil paintings include “Citrus,” a lush Gauguin-esque abstract of navel oranges and a large dramatic diptych of foliage entitled “Midnight.” A reception will be held on Saturday, November 6 from 6 – 9 p.m. at the gallery.

In these works, Eric Bashor’s brush strokes are bold; his colors saturated. His direct yet approachable style will lure you in to his fleeting world. Bashor describes his paintings as “records of singular moments of light and space,” moments that will never be the same again. Bashor’s process is as bold and straightforward as his work. While prepping a canvas may take several days, he paints a piece in only one day. If he fails to succeed, he scrapes it off to try again.

Among Bashor’s numerous gallery exhibitions of portraiture and landscapes, he has five portraits on display at the Tacoma Art Museum. Bashor, a former resident of Seattle, graduated from Cornish College of the Arts. He maintained a studio in Pioneer Square from 1998-2002. He currently resides in Kansas City, Missouri, where he has set up another studio in the West Bottoms district.
