FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:ARTIST STATEMENT SOLO SHOW

DELECTABLE DEMONS – A Solo Exhibition By ANGIE MASON Opens This JULY 7th 2006 at Schmancy Gallery,Seattle,WA. Reception 6-9pm Schmancy Gallery Boutique is located at 1930 Second Ave Seattle Wa.98101

Delectable Demons brings forth a melancholy menagerie of characters and worlds which are a funny, whimsical, dark and tragic view at the wonderful mess of life. What are seemingly cute characters are also twisted, moody bruised souls. Visually exploring combinations of funny vs. sad and of dark vs. light playing a perfect balance on this see-saw of a visual ride.

Within these works I like to utilize the balance of opposites through my characters as a way to paint truths about being human. Creating this balance or tension of a tug of war between good and evil, hope and despair is at the core of these works. We all have to face demons in our lives and in my paintings my characters are sometimes facing theirs or are in fact the demon themselves.
