SEATTLE ART FAIR
BOOTH C09
JULY 25 - JULY 28, 2024
J. Rinehart Gallery is thrilled to be returning to the Seattle Art Fair, July 25-28, 2024!
Visit J. Rinehart Gallery, Booth C09, to see an exhibition of Seattle-based artists who have been gaining national recognition.
For our 2024 Seattle Art Fair installation, we look forward to exhibiting new work by multidisciplinary Filipino artist Romson Bustillo. We will be debuting his first foray into translating his impressive work into blown glass vessels, created during two prestigious residencies at the Museum of Glass and the Pilchuck Glass School this past spring. Romson is the Artist Trust Arts Innovator Awardee for 2021 and has exhibited locally at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art and at the Bellevue Arts Museum.
We are also delighted to be exhibiting a large-scale work by Joan Mitchell Foundation, and MacDowell Fellow, Emily Gherard. Gherard is best known for her process-based work built from the accumulation of repetitive marks, often referencing figurative works by old masters in contemporary abstraction. Her past year of residencies and workshops with the Joan Mitchell Foundation and the Sam and Adele Golden Foundation has taken her work into a new level, both conceptually and materially. Her work has been shown at The Museum of Northwest Art, La Conner, WA, The Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, WA, and The Henry Art Gallery, Seattle, WA, and is part of the collection at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AK.
In addition to these highlights, we will be showcasing work by artists new to the gallery, including Julie Alpert, who is featured in the 2024 New Artists / New Collectors at Seattle Art Fair; Jan Hoy, Kippi Leonard, and Amanda Knowles. We are thrilled to debut new work by Jaq Chartier, and Kate Protage.
With an impressive selection of paintings, photography, sculpture, and contemporary printmaking by a diverse group of artists, we strive to make fine art accessible and attainable at all levels.
JAN HOY | Fluidity
JAN HOY
FLUIDITY
J. Rinehart Gallery is delighted to announce exhibition, Fluidity, from long time sculptor, Jan Hoy. Hoy’s exhibition, Fluidity, combines the hard edged and the organic, celebrating form in the simplest possible way.
Fluidity will be on view online and in the Gallery March 30 – April 24, 2024. Collectors Preview Reception will be held in the gallery Saturday, March 30 from 2 - 4pm. Public Opening will be held First Thursday, April 4 from 5- 8pm.
Fluidity lies in the realm of curvilinear abstraction. The clay is stretched and molded to hold the measurements of a square, moving through space in a continuous curving motion. Hoy’s forms appear strong and heavy, while graceful and engaging. They exist fluidly through their pathways of circular direction.
Of her work Hoy states: “The joy of experimenting with a new idea is at the core of the exhibition. The work adheres to my love of keeping it simple, at least they appear simple. Making these forms in clay is very complex and labor of love, each piece taking months to create.”
Jan Hoy was raised in the Puget Sound area, and it is where she calls home. She received her degree in Fine Arts from the University of Washington and has pursued a career in art to this date. Her large-scale works have found homes in both private and public collections including the Sutter Hill Cathedral Hospital in San Francisco, CA, Lake Oswego, Oregon, The City of La Conner, WA, and The Permanent Collection of the city of Bainbridge Island, WA. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of NW Art, and the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art.

Exhibition Statement
Fluidity
The joy of experimenting with a new idea is at the core of the exhibit, “Fluidity”. I have a fascination with combining the hard edged and the organic in one form. I always keep it simple, as though at the very heart of my work I take pleasure from expressing form in the simplest possible way.In this exhibit my experiment involves the task of holding the measurements of a square form constant while moving it through space in a fluid, curving motion. Somehow, these forms turn out strong, while graceful and engaging. They adhere to my love of keeping it simple. At least they appear simple. Making these forms in clay is very complex and labor of love, each piece taking months to create.
