Featured this month in Luxcollective Gallery
If you've lived in Seattle for long, you've probably seen some of Regan's work -- his photographs have been featured in publications from the Seattle Weekly and The Seattle Times to the Washington Athletic Club members' magazine and the now-defunct Northwest On Stage, as well as on posters and flyers pitching the musical and theatrical exploits of groups all over town for years. If you've been to the Red Stripe Art Walk before, you'll be pleased to find a couple of new pieces gracing Regan's walls this month, as well as some newly-matted and framed pieces that you may have only seen unmounted before. If you've never been, you should make a point to mark it in your calendar from now on -- what better way to spend the first thursday of every month?

Anne Simernitski - Paintings
“I consider myself an abstract expressionist. Abstract Expressionism emphasizes on spontaneity and the exploration of new emotions, feelings, and thoughts. It combines self-expression and emotional intensity. Most importantly, however, is that I want to draw attention to “moments” that may look like eternity.”
-Anne Simernitski
At thirty two, Anne Simernitski is making a regional reputation for creating artwork that range from paintings, abstract collages and illustrations.
The French native began her career as an artist back in high school when art history was part of her graduation program. Devoted to working in the arts, Anne Simernitski continued studying at the Louvre Museum School, Paris, France and later moved on to the Sorbonne Nouvelle University where she earned her BA in History of Art. Her decision to additionally earn a diploma in graphics design and multimedia at the IFIP College, Paris, only shows the very versatile and restless nature of the young artist.
Whether it was before or after her move to the United States in 2000, Anne Simernitski has constantly been involved in the endeavor of making art. She comments about her creative process, “When I paint, I become immersed into my artwork. I become aware of the way I move, the way I breathe, and the way I think. When I paint, I not only invent my own vocabulary, but also my own music. The way I connect with my art is of high importance to me since it helps me reach out to the viewers of my paintings.”

SPECIAL SHOWING • Gary Mac Smith • "Faces"
The Portland psychiatrist uses low-viscosity acrylic on watercolor paper that is immersed in water before the paint is applied.
“Gary Mac Smith’s pieces have an otherworldly quality to them. The eyes stare out with a jarring intensity from slightly blurred faces that seem to float underwater..."

Mike Mullins - Paintings
Painting allows me to travel through time, to explore the past and the future in colors as vibrant as dreams. It allows me to find myself in others and allows them to find themselves in me. When we come together to enjoy art, those connections are made manifest by the interpretations we each have.

Smash Coffins - Paintings
Art of any medium, having always been and continuing to be open for interpretation, will remain the production of any variable i offer to connect with the on looker. With the exclusion of any possible way for misrepresentation of the final product, painting remains ideally the most appealing way to reinforce connections between myself and others. The real beauty with any final piece is with having no rights or wrongs allows anyone to be a part of my work.

Ryan John McKenney - Paintings
Sometimes you wonder whether there's more to life than loud music and sleepless nights. You find yourself desperately looking for something to call your own. Something that makes you feel, at least for a brief moment, that things are alright and will continue to be so. This is how i feel while holding a brush with a large blank canvas staring back at me. When the paint dries, and I can step back, cigarette in hand, and see how my heart and mind have been spread onto an open forum I can breathe just a little bit easier. This is punk by way of artistic expression and it's the life's blood of this manic mind.
