Thomas Stream: Solo Exhibition
Hours
Thursday 9/01
6:00pm-8:00pm
We are proud to present a solo exhibit by gouache painter Thomas Stream. Stream's heritage is Sun'aq Aleut, and he paints the denizens of the air with brilliant gouache and in incredible detail. As a contemporary Aleut artist, Stream combines the iconography of his heritage with modern painting. He is inspired by the bentwood hunting hats of his Aleut ancestors, especially the spiral and dot patterns painted along their length. Paying tribute to his heritage, he places a visor on each animal he paints, and incorporates the traditional patterns into the bodies of his creatures.
