Charles Emerson - Lunar Poetics, Falling Angels, and Meanderings

‘Falling Angel in Transformation’ - Charles Emerson, oil on canvas; 20” x 30”; 2023

Seattle based painter Charles Emerson is currently on view at Harris/Harvey Gallery in Seattle, up until April 1. A mind blowing master of color, Emerson studied under Joseph Albers while at Yale. Witness the intense ember glow in the rocky outcropping at the bottom of this painting, a metaphysical landscape of sorts. I get lost in all the color play going on in these pieces. The show remains up for only the next week, through April 1. 1915 First Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101; hours 11 - 6 pm. Tuesday to Saturday.
