Membrane by Nyk Fury 2011
Nyks Work Brings us to other worlds in our own backyard
He finds subjects with unconventional looks and places them in locations that seem out of this world, yet they are close by... Using props, costuming and fabric that he finds and builds, he creates a timeless, distant, dreamlike vision for us to ponder.

 Winter's Lament
by CJ Lane

CJ Lane is returning to photography after a long hiatus raising a family... She comes from a journalist background with an investigative and discerning eye.  Her current work is a high contrast study in shadow and light... CJ makes the ordinary extraordinary with her lens taking advantage of unusual angles with an unconventional take on our local landscape and architecture

 Colleens Corrigan at Red Raven Gallery
Colleen's New work in mixed media is a study in color and form, with some of the pieces reminiscent of the sand paintings of New Mexico.... Colleen uses many natural materials found around her to add sculptural elements to her work. There may be stones or leaves along with gold paint and sand added to a piece borrowing from the natural world around us.

Morbid Fascination November Art show

 
 
 The Red Raven Gallery Presents Morbid Fascination , New works in Assemblage art and Sculpture by Jason Soles and Anita Arora.  Opening for this amazing show is Saturday November 5th during art walk in Port Townsend from 5:30 to 8:30 pm
Jason Soles
My work reflects my obsession with antiquity and the passage of time; through it I explore tradition, myth, and belief. Spanning the gamut from the pharaonic funeral masks of unknowable space gods to the tactile remains of pre-Christian deities, my sculptures are the relics of fantastical civilizations and lost tribes.

I have developed two distinct approaches to sculpting. My one-of-a-kind works are assembled from found objects, scraps of metal and cloth, epoxy putty, bone, leather, and anatomical models. My reproducible works are much more time intensive. They are sculpted in oil-based clay and cast in bronze or polyurethane resins. For me, the act of sculpting is essentially meditative, the actual creative process taking place in a burst of inspiration before I begin.

Largely a self-taught artist, I originally started sculpting to create props for my film projects. I participated in my first arts exhibition in 1999, the same year I co-founded the dark arts collective Catalyst Studios with visionary painter Ann Koi. Recently I have begun to explore varied casting techniques to breathe new life into my older pieces. The weight and physical qualities of bronze and marble lend verisimilitude to my work through the inference of great age and classical origins.


Anita Arora
It's a calling that never ends: Anita Arora's passion for the arts found her exploring far beyond her early roots in classical dance and stage into fine arts, eventually leading to a degree in Music Industry Management. Having spent a whirlwind childhood calling two continents home, it was then that she decided it was time to re-escape her birthplace of London and return Stateside where she's been firmly rooted ever since.

Being a sociology junkie and fan of the obscure, Anita has always been attracted to the academic yet extremely human nature of scientific studies. In particular, as they relate to the more extreme inner workings of the human mind and body both as they connect to society and in themselves as a dynamic, mysterious machine.

Overwhelmed by a drive to translate the world and examine the profound connections that never cease to plague her, Anita found three-dimensional art to work in ways that other mediums simply could not. It is through these means that Anita finds great satisfaction in creating unconventional, one-of-a-kind shadow box pieces. She claims this is derived from a healthy obsession with human anatomy, antique medical texts, found objects and a hyper-analytical mind.

Welcome to Morbid Anatomy.

The newest little Gallery in the PNW

We are New new new and going live now... The Red Raven Gallery will be opening it's doors at 922 Water St in the Bohemian Seaport of Port Townsend, Washington on the first weekend in September.

We are a co-op of artists that are local to this area, some established and some new up and coming.. The Gallery will offer service like no other from the artists in residence themselves... Our community caters to tourism and locals alike with the unique flavor of the Northwest. 

At the Red Raven Gallery you will not find paintings of Seagulls and sailboats... what you will find is an ever changing collection of New and eclectic figurative work from the most talented painters and sculptors in the area... We will have artists working in  the gallery everyday, to answer your questions regarding their process and their work and to help you make your art acquisition a pleasurable experience... A different approach than your typical gallery atmosphere offers.  Having artists in house keeps the art prices reasonable as well.... also something to be enjoyed!
Please stay tuned for your invite to our opening night.
