Rid yourself of absolutes. Purity is a tyranny of the abstract. Everything is in flux: in darkness there is always light but equally true is that pleasure is always accompanied by pain. No pure state exists. These are the hard-won lessons on full display in the paintings of Drie Chapek, showing now at Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle.

This, the fifth iteration of the Seattle Art Fair, featured over 100 International galleries showing work organized around the curatorial theme “Here Explodes the Wunderkammer,” a metaphor for 21st century context collapse.
