| Roq La Rue gallerya |
|
Roq La Rue gallery was opened back in 1998 as a reaction to the Northwest's then lack of alternative art spaces. Fueled by a devotion to the rapidly growing Lowbrow/Pop Surrealism art movement, the gallery quickly gained notoriety, and respect, as one of only of a handful of galleries globally (at the time) willing to show the work. As a bonus, an enthusiastic community of collectors responded quickly to the gallery's eclectic mix of artists, whose outlaw sensibilities and counter-cultural subject matter was rendered with undeniable ability and vision.
Since that exciting time, Roq la Rue has moved several times, before finally landing at its largest, and poshest, digs yet, settling into a historic art deco building in the Belltown neighborhood of downtown Seattle. We've expanded our vision & program by working with artists and collectors around the globe, gained national & international recognition, and earned a solid reputation. It's been an amazing and rewarding ride thus far.
Everyone involved with Roq La Rue, including partners Mark Long, Sarah Novotny, and John Kintz, love, and are committed to, Roq La Rue, the artists the gallery exhibits and the extended community we are honored to be a part of. We hope to continue to be a supportive and exciting space that helps launch new artists and bring greater exposure to more established ones.

So what does Broadstreetstudio have to do with three 'characters' with brushes? You might even go on to ask what representation in painting even means to them. Well, we felt it was time to share the reason why we started Broadstreetstudio. |
| Circus Museum |
|
Stichting Circusarchief Jaap Best beheert de circusverzameling van de Alkmaarder Jaap Best (1912-2002). De collectie omvat circa 8000 affiches, 7000 fotos en prentbriefkaarten, honderden boeken, tijdschriften en prenten, duizenden programmaboekjes, krantenknipsels, en bijzondere parafernalia op het gebied van het circusleven in Nederland, maar ook ver daar buiten. De Stichting vond enkele jaren geleden onderdak in Teylers Museum te Haarlem, waar Jaap Best al enige tijd nauwe banden mee onderhield. Voor de exposities De tentoongestelde mens (1993), Hooggeerd publiek (1997) en De versierde mens (1999) mocht het museum een ruime keus uit zijn collectie maken. Teylers Museum zegde vervolgens toe na zijn overlijden de opslag van het archief te faciliteren en de collecties te ontsluiten. Daarnaast werd Pictura in Heiloo benaderd om de affiches en foto's digitaal te fotograferen, zodat ze successievelijk via deze online database voor een groot publiek raadpleegbaar zijn. Op 9 juni 2005 vond de lancering van de website circusmuseum.nl plaats.

| Alan Pollack |
|
Alan Pollack was born in New Jersey in 1964. He began drawing at an early age. Influenced by artists such as Frazetta, Boris, the Hildebrandts and Michael Whelan, Alan decided that fantasy illustration was to be his career of choice.
After graduating from high school, he studied at several colleges. At the School of Visual Arts in NYC, the illustration team of Martucci and Greisbach convinced Alan to dabble in oils. He was so inspired by his first attempts that he began developing a portfolio of fantasy illustration. |
| Alyssa Monks |
|
Monkss work explores narrative figuration. Currently she is playing with the tension between abstraction and realism in the same work, using different filters to visually distort and disintegrate the body. In this shallow painted space, the subject is pushing against our real space with pulsating vibrations of color that can make a painted body seem to have blood pumping through it. Strokes of thick, succulent paint in delicate color relationships are pushed and pulled into place to imitate glass, steam, water and flesh and create a narrative in the painted surface. The result of this pushing and pulling of realism is a confrontation of the tension between mortality and vitality. Striving for anatomical and realistic accuracy, it is her intention to convey an arresting vision that compels the viewer to feel their own humanness. It is Monkss intent to relate visually the contemporary female experience with sensitivity, empathy, and integrity. |

| Amy Sol |
|
Amy Sol spent her childhood years in Korea then moved to Las Vegas, NV where she currently lives and works. Though the style of her work is greatly influenced by a combination of manga, folk-art, vintage illustration and modern design, she remains a self taught artist. She has dedicated many years of her life mixing pigments and mediums to achieve a unique color palette of subtly muted tones. The artist works intuitively from the beginning to end of each piece, with the intent that each painting's theme or message can be interpreted subjectively. Within these delicate works, you may often find whimsical landscapes populated with exotic plants, animal and females... Amongst the expressions of each character are notions of peaceful reflection and a sense of companionship. |
| Angie Mason |

My visual playground, the world which I create is home to saturnine moody bruised soulcreatures. Images showcase many of their touching sad yet hysterical scenarios. The visuals are a stitched queasy patchwork quilt of emotions, an imperfect, cracked veiny world in all its beautiful imperfections. Its a place where failures, wishers and dreamers live; A place that brings laughter and sadness together for tea.

| Audrey Kawasaki |
|
The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter. |
| Beau White |
|
I have been interested in illustrating absurd, grotesque and distastefully humorous images since primary school.
There is nothing particularly philosophical about my art in the conceptual sense. There are themes and narratives that are relatively simple and obvious, with the main focus being on the ridiculous.
I don't have a grand vision or statement I want to make through art, I just want to draw and paint silliness and weirdness in various forms for my own gratification and anyone else with similar inclinations.
Although I steer away from taking the subject matter in my work too seriously, I do spend a serious amount of time, consideration and mental exertion on my creative process. That's where I derive the most meaning in my art; In the doing, not the discussion that follows. |

| Brom Art |
|
Born in the deep dark south in 1965. Brom, an Army brat, spent his entire youth on the move and unabashedly blames living in such places as Japan, Hawaii, Germany, and Alabama for all his afflictions. From his earliest memories Brom has been obsessed with the creation of the weird, the monstrous, and the beautiful.
At the age of twenty, Brom started working full-time as a commercial illustrator. Since that time Brom has been working feverishly for every facet of the genre, from novels (Michael Moorcock, Terry Brooks, R.A.Salvatore, E.R. Burroughs), Role-playing (TSR, White Wolf, WOTC), comics (DC, Chaos, Dark Horse), Games (Doom2, Heretic, Diablo2, World of Warcraft), and film (Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, Galaxy Quest, Ghosts of Mars, Scooby Doo, Van Helsing).

| Chet Zar |
|
Born on November 12th, 1967, in the harbor town of San Pedro, CA, Chet Zar's interest in art began at an early age. His parents were always very supportive and never put any limits on his creativity. His entire childhood was spent drawing, sculpting and painting.
Zar's interest in the darker side of art began in the earliest stages of his life. A natural fascination with all things strange fostered within himself a deep connection to horror movies and dark imagery. He could relate to the feelings of fear, anxiety and isolation that they conveyed. These are themes which had permeated most of his childhood drawings and paintings and are reflected in his work to this day. |

I learned it first from my Brother. He didnt teach me; I watched it. They will pin a word on your chest and use it against you. They will create a word thats excuse to take your humanity away. I saw it happen to him.
And everyday, this: A word to make you serve, and one to make grateful for it. There is a label out there just for you. This will make you easier to categorize, and sell to. There is a word for the man next to you that makes you comfortable with the fact that you have so much more than he does. There is a word for you that tells you what to settle for. |

Without being too clich, these paintings are the sum of what I am; all of my passions, problems, hate, love and desire spilling out through the restraints ... |
| Chrystal Chan |
|
Chrystal Y Chan was born in November 1984 and raised in the Bay Area, California. Being fascinated by the spiritual world since the age of seventeen, most of her works present subjects in metaphorical situations that are derived from visions, supernatural experiences, and beings. Other works are reflective of feelings and situations placed in the everyday life. Each piece states facts of the physical or the supernatural. |

I appreciate and value the art, which can tell a story (possibly of multiple threads) and transmit the emotional content on several layers. When this comes with a complementary technique and attention to details - this is what makes a truly valued art piece to me. My inspirations often come from observing the world, the people and their often extreme emotions. Another source of subjects are my dreams and personal feelings. I express all those in paintings, drawings and modern sculpture. Even if drawing is a kind of basis of my art, I very much like and successfully experiment with non-conventional use of traditional artistic media. |

David Bowers, born 1956 in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and graduated from art school in Pittsburgh in 1979. He began working as a staff artist at various studios in Pittsburgh. Two years later, David began teaching at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh where he lectured for ten years. This job was perfect for Bowers at the time due to the short hours in the classroom. These short workdays enabled a lot of free time to perfect his painting technique before he entered the illustration field. |
| David Choquette |

David Choquette is a 27 years old Montreal based tattooist. He's intriged by the sense of discomfort that physical abnormalities cause. His portraits, often miniature, are esthetic counter type to the popular standards. Obsessing over every square inch, he creates strange atmosphere where uglyness and beauty are hard to dissociate. With sharp details, he try to communicate the sensibility of is inner world. "Setting down to work, inever know what the hell will come out. The only thing that's for sure, the Devil is in the details!". thanx, i really appreciate, it's an honnor. David Choquette |
| David Kassan |
|
As an expression of his own calculated observation and visual consumption of surrounding environment, introspective glimpses of reality imbue the art of David Jon Kassan. By immersing himself into his subject matter, Kassan is able to infuse his painting with life and realism. Kassan's direction of realism follows the philosophies emplyed by the Ashcan School of American Realists. Kassan's influences are varied; citing Robert Henri and John Sloan as his primary influences on philosophy and subject matter. As for style and technique he cites Antonio Lopez Garcia, Mark Rothko, Franz Kline and Clyfford Still as influences as well. |

Unlike the media and their artificial conception of beauty that does not only hide the true person but also destroys it by removing every sign of what makes us human, I want to capture and describe a persons precence and specific inner self. Similar to what a detailed writer might employ in their analysis of an individual, I portray not only the physical attributes, but more importantly the subjects inner presence of life. It's not too obvious as my work appears most detailed, but I understand my approach as both representational and lyrical, using marks like words and textured areas like paragraphs. All parts of a whole, telling a story about a human being.. |
| Donato Giancola |
|
From J.R.R. Tolkiens' 'The Lord of the Rings' to Botticellis' 'La Primivera', Donato Giancola balances modern concepts with realism in his paintings to bridge the worlds of contemporary and historical figurative arts. His influences encompass visits to the local game shops and book stores as well as pilgrimages to the greatest of museums - including the Uffizzi, Louvre, and Hermitage. Donato recognizes the significant cultural role played by visual art and makes personal efforts to contribute to the expansion and appreciation of the science fiction and fantasy genre that extend beyond the commercial commissions of his clients. To those ends, the artist teaches at the School of Visual Arts in New York City and appears at various institutions, tournaments, and conventions, from San Diego to Rome to Moscow, where he performs demonstrations in oil paint and lectures on his aesthetics. |
