Details from
Tyler Stout on his new print The North Woods and how you can get one:
I was asked a few years back to do a piece for Roq la Rue Gallery's Unpredictable Gravity group show, a benefit for cancer charities. The show's title "Unpredictable Gravity" is a reference to the roller coaster of emotion that a family goes through after a cancer diagnosis. i said yes. and now, a few years later, a month after the show actually opened, i have something for it. talk about timing. and how poorly i manage mine.
Tyler Stout - "The North Woods" variant grey
18x24, 3-Color Screenprint
Edition of 85
$50
it will be available at Roq la Rue Gallery on Thursday, February 6th from 4-9PM.
one per address / cash only
the print will be sold to walk-ins only until February 8th. any remaining prints will be made available for online sales at a TBD date/time.
regarding the details of how this works, the gallery has their charity that they will be giving 25% of the sales to, i have my charity that i will be giving 25% to, and then the gallery gets 25% and i get 25%. so, that's the breakdown.
info about the piece itself - its actually locations and buildings of seattle, i tried to somewhat capture the nautical feeling of this port city. thus the boat. there's a few inside meanings on the piece that i guess are personal to me, but i had the idea of cancer, recovery, remission, all that stuff on the brain, and tried to kinda paint that in a somewhat hopeful light.
the title is a slight, very slight reference to the book Walden. thoreau mentions 'the maine woods' and i guess i think of seattle as the north woods. since i am north of seattle, the pacific northwest. it made sense at the time. now its probably pretentious sounding. great. success.
the above print will only be sold at Roq la Rue, i will have the regular blue version for sale at a later time.
