Victor Castillo, and a mini show by Brian Despain

Roq La Rue is pleased to present two solo shows for the month of September, one by Chilean artist Victor Castillo, and the other by Seattle painter Brian Despain. This will be our kick off show in the newly renovated space.

Opens Friday September 12th 6-9pm

Victor Castillo When The Heavens Open

For his first solo exhibition in USA, Victor Castillo has chosen a biblical title taken from the lyrics of a song by Violeta Parra, a communist Chilean folk musician and visual artist.

Brian Despain Blood Sweat and Gears

Brian Despain returns to the gallery with a new set of paintings from his 100 Robots series. While his painterly work retains a dark humor, these new paintings belie also a sense of melancholy, stemming from recent issues in the artists life. Each painting is meant to provoke introspection into one’s own existence and begs further examination of the collective human condition.
