UM Artist: Andy Kehoe at Roq La Rue Gallery, Seattle



Andy Kehoe
Arise, Feral Night


Roq La Rue Gallery
2312 2nd Ave.
Seattle, WA 98121

Opens Friday October 14th, 6-9pm
show runs through November 5th

Andy Kehoe will have his first solo show at Roq La Rue this October with an exhibition of darkly enchanting paintings entitled "Arise Feral Night".
This new series focuses on the otherwordly landscapes and nature-spirit denizens that populate Kehoe's work, however this new series opens up an even deeper portal to Kehoe's world, one that contains a similar magic and enigmatic mystery as that of Hayao Miyazaki.

Since it's in October around Halloween I decided to do a series based on the coming of night to my land. I've been meaning to do a night series for a while and this seemed like an appropriate time to do it. Most of my work exists in a state of constant Autumn and constant twilight. Night does come every once in a while but it's a different kind of night. Layers between worlds, tenuous to begin with, open up and intertwine. Fade in and out. So there's a lot of thin, overlapping layers of different worlds all converging and creatures wandering in and out of these worlds. - Andy Kehoe


UM Artist: Ben Kehoe Gallery Show in CA




Ben Kehoe
The Endless Frontier

Opens: Friday, October 14th from 8- 11pm
On View: October 14th - November 12th

Ben Kehoe uses subtle absurdity to extract the nervousness from the unknown. The Endless Frontier takes on the pioneers and frontiersmen of the new world and the old west, focusing on the wonders and the terrors they faced every day as they left the comforts of society for the mysteries of the wild.

UM Artist: Thad Kellstadt's "This House Ain't a Home" gallery show in Chicago





Thad Kellstadt: This House Ain’t a Home
Opening October 21, 6-9pm
244 W 31st Street
Chicago, IL
through December 1, 2011

Behind the wall, up in the ceiling and under the floor is an absurd landscape. Silent and out of view, this hidden support network waits, slowly transforming banal materiality into new substances.

The multimedia installation, This House Ain’t a Home, imagines possible interior lives of objects and materials.

Kellstadt was born in rural Ohio in 1977.
He works in a variety of mediums from painting to video. His influences range from custom van culture to psychedelia to science fiction. Kellstadt has shown nationally and internationally at Space 1026 in Philadelphia, Lump Gallery in Raleigh, Co-Prosperity Sphere in Chicago, Alice Gallery in Brussels, Cell Project Space in London and PDX Film Festival in Portland, OR.
