A large selection of terrific paintings by the Northwest's own Robert C. Wikstrom will adorn our gallery walls this month. Wik's sense of curiosity and serious playfullness are apparent in these works. Naturally, we have deep holdings in all aspects of Robert's career from illustration and graphic design to fine art and calligraphy. Personal appointments to view these works are available but in the meantime we'll let his works continue to inspire.

Hope
2011 Gouache 9X5
This is a recent painting that exemplifies a continuing theme in my work. The mythological reference of a mermaid utilized by the Starbucks Corporation is contrasted by the circular seal of the Knights Templar. A background face might suggest Jesus Christ and the Eye of Osiris is festooned by flowers. A Chinese character for HOPE and the familiar skyline of Seattle give me a sense of peace as I attempt to resolve the disparate elements.

MUSICAL STILL LIFE
Watercolor 24X32
This painting was done at a time when my love of still life was at its keenest. Reflecting my love of music and the revolutionary spirit of Bob Marley I'm projecting a challenge to pick up the artistic tools of change and fight for justice, equality and peace.
