Iconic Bainbridge

A group show organized around place: specifically, around this island, this light, this shoreline. The artists in Iconic Bainbridge had one thing in common — they had all made work from direct contact with Bainbridge Island, its landscape, its community, its particular relationship with Seattle across the water.

The show was an argument that regional identity, when taken seriously, produces work of exceptional quality — not provincial work, but work that is of this place in the same way Turner's paintings are of a specific light. Works from this exhibition remain available. Several artists continue to show at JG.
