Where So Ever You May Go
New Work by Seth Armstrong Please join us for the opening reception Saturday August 30th, 7pm - 10pm Seth Armstrong produces narrative paintings. Exactly what these narratives entail, however, is not definitive, but included is the drama, mystery, and humor that accentuate the theatrical and fictitious characteristics that he believes are apparent in everyday life. The actions of the subjects and the circumstances of their environments are often vague, only hinting at the motives or story lines that are inherently taking place. Because of an interest in portraiture and a fascination with the use and manipulation of photographic elements, a heightened sense of reality is given to what otherwise might be considered awkward or outlandish. Seth Armstrong was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. After studying painting in Northern Holland, he graduated from California College of the Arts with High Distinction in 2006. His work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, The Netherlands,and throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. He lives and works in Oakland.
