Forest for the Trees and @FWC26Seattle are teaming up to welcome the world, celebrate soccer, and showcase artists this summer!  @kwonny.art is a Seattle-based artist who began her practice while living in Australia where she was inspired by the local flora and fauna. Her canvases feature animals and mythic figures often depicted mid-fight or -flight and involve stretching material and surface to their limits. This practice along with the use of negative space function as both compositional and conceptual devices - highlighting tension between history and mythology, predator and prey, domestication and wildness. kwonny’s work is shaped by her experience as a Korean American negotiating the effects of dual cultures and migration. She now travels frequently between the Pacific Northwest and Australia, influenced by the ecological and cultural landscapes of both regions. Her work has been exhibited in Australia, the United Kingdom, Los Angeles and Seattle. We’re unveiling 14 new Art Frames between now and June. Find them all featured on the Unity Loop inside the SEA&WIN mobile app game. Explore the city, earn points, win prizes, and even score World Cup match tickets on us.

‘oritur et occidit’ by @derekbruno A large-scale color composition rendered through optical mixing; this work merges a four-channel halftone process with organic forms derived from five tree species originally planted in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park which is site adjacent + the primary vantage from the buildings community balconies. The compositions expansive field of color was divided into a grid, where each cell’s location + CMYK values determined the curve, scale, and rotation generated by a parametric script. The outputs of each channel were then combined, producing a softly blended image at a distance while revealing 480 distinct graphic patterns when viewed up close. - Large format print 1 : oritur et occidit Non-PVC Film on wall : 20ft x 200ft Atlanta , GA 2024

The world debut of The MiG-21 Project by @afrika_47 The final installment in South African artist Ralph Ziman’s trilogy ‘Weapons of Mass Production,’ this art piece blends history, social awareness, cultural appreciation, and the healing power of creativity by celebrating the rich tradition of South African beadwork. Working with artisans from Zimbabwe and the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, Ziman’s team have covered a Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21 in millions of beads. Ziman considers his work an experience of healing for Africa and other regions that bear the scars of armed conflict. By collaborating with some of the people most impacted by Apartheid, Ziman hopes to reclaim that history by turning symbols of oppression into positive works of art. “Take the most mass-produced supersonic fighter aircraft and to turn it from a machine of war into something that looks beautiful, changes the meaning of it.” - Ralph Ziman The MiG-21 Project goes on display starting June 21 at @museumofflight in Seattle, WA

@johndoe_paints with @overallcreative for @cityofseattlegov #hopecorpsmurals

Thank you Miami, you were as wonderful as always 🎇

In July 2024 for @ffttnw , @mobilsavage unveiled a monumental public artwork titled ‘Tribal Identities of Washington State’ in @downtownseattle with @artxiv . This 1,000-foot-long mural, despite its two-color palette, delves into complex themes of indigeneity, stewardship, history, reclamation, representation, and community. Rather than providing definitive answers, the piece serves as a mirror reflecting the current state of Indigenous affairs, aiming to spark curiosity and inspire dialogue among viewers. Fragua’s artistic philosophy emphasizes the importance of posing questions over delivering solutions. He believes that art should ignite curiosity and inspire imagination, encouraging viewers to engage in meaningful conversations about Indigenous issues. Through his art, Fragua continues to challenge conventional narratives and advocate for Indigenous representation, using public spaces as platforms for activism and cultural expression.
