SUMMARY:Traver Gallery and Vetri Glass Compendium
DESCRIPTION:Traver Gallery and Vetri are pleased to present Glass Compendium\, a two-day exclusive exhibition celebrating the past\, present\, and future of contemporary glass. \nOn view at our waterfront space along the Ship Canal\, this special presentation brings together works by artists who have shaped and continue to redefine the field of glass art. \nThe exhibition includes a curated selection of pieces by pioneers such as Dale Chihuly\, Lino Tagliapietra\, Sonja Blomdahl\, Ginny Ruffner\, and Paul Marioni\, alongside works by artists pushing the medium forward today\, including Nancy Callan\, Jen Elek\, Anna Mlasowsky\, and John Kiley. The presentation also features emerging voices such as George William Bell\, Manolo Aguilera\, Andi Kovel\, Jason Christian and Cedric Mitchell\, artists who are defining the future of glass. \nThis focused collection offers a rare opportunity to explore decades of innovation in studio glass through the lens of two galleries with deep roots in the field. We hope you’ll join us. \nThe work will be on view from 10 am  – 6 pm\,  Oct 17-18.

SUMMARY:Bronson Shonk | On Perspective ♿
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Traver Gallery Ship Canal location to see On Perspective\, a new exhibition of dimensional paintings by Seattle-based artist Bronson Shonk. \nFor this exhibition\, Shonk paints directly on multiple layers of glass\, laminating them together to form works that hover between painting and sculpture. The resulting pieces suspend painted flowers in a transparent depth that amplifies their color and form. Each work becomes at once specimen and memory\, an attempt to hold still something that is otherwise fleeting. \n  \n“Perspective is not only a set of rules for representing depth\,” Shonk explains\, “but also a space where perception itself can shift. Just as my image of a flower deepens the longer I observe it\, my understanding of people and experiences also changes over time. These works are about honoring that layered way of seeing.” \nIn On Perspective\, Shonk debuts 14 new glass paintings that capture the bulbous volume of hydrangeas\, the gesture of blooms\, and the clustered delicacy of goldenrod. Working directly from observation\, he approaches each subject with a precision that reflects both his training in environmental science and his past career as a data scientist. His glass paintings carry forward traditions of the Japanese landscapes of Hokusai and the dynamism of Italian Futurism\, while proposing a contemporary reflection on color\, time\, and perception. His practice bridges analytic and visual inquiry\, asking how we record change across time and how memory shapes what we see. \n  \nBronson Shonk (b. Atlanta\, Georgia) holds an International Baccalaureate Diploma in Visual Art and studied Environmental Science and Studio Art at the University of Vermont. After moving to Seattle\, Shonk worked as a data scientist for four years before committing full-time to his artistic practice. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally\, including the Seattle Art Fair\, Homo Faber in Venice\, and Art Miami. His work is included in numerous private collections\, such as The Haskell Collection\, and has been featured in Whitehot\, Glass Quarterly\, and Luxe. He has been a resident at Vermont Studio Center. Shonk lives and works in Seattle\, Washington.
