Soo Hong: Lockdown Vista
I'm quite a big fan of Seattle-area artist Soo Hong and her dreamy, inky paintings. As part of Seattle Restored, Hong's art installation in a window display on Fourth Ave—Lockdown Vista—is composed of three giant vibrant works (above) that riff on Edvard Munch's woozy landscapes and drippy East Asian botanical ink-wash paintings. Similarly, I'm keen to check out 404 Studio's Burst Out of Your Bubble installation on Second Ave, composed of—you guessed it—bubbles as both a commentary on isolation and the ephemeral.
