Artist's Talk Friday, February 5 at 6:00pm
Reception: Friday, February 5 from 6:30pm-8:00pm
WASHINGTON STUDIO SCHOOL (WSS) is pleased to present a solo exhibit of abstract landscapes by Yakima, Washington guest artist TOM CHET HAUSKEN.
Hausken's paintings are marked with rich texture and layering on thick paper, often cutting the paintings apart, rearranging and refining compositions through this process. "The process of applying pigments to various substrates is of great interest to me. I love to work and re-work paintings, scraping, layering and cutting. I accept flaws, erasures and concealments as necessary. I employ chance. I use traditional oils, industrial coatings, inks, lacquers, shellac, asphaltum, alkyd, acrylic, graphite, paper, canvas and panel. The paintings' forms and colors are abstracts of the landscape I live in yet I avoid including details that would imply a specific place. I portray a sense of place through paint." -Tom Chet Hausken
