Three Sleeping Bags, by Siege
The Lynnwood Convention Center has launched its latest art exhibit of over 35 pieces from the collection of Siege, an American painter, as the primary exhibit from July through the month of December. Ranging in mediums from oil pastels on paper to acrylic and graphics on canvas, the paintings are grouped chronologically from Siege’s early works in 1990 to pieces from as recent as 2021.
A Seattle native, Siege grew up on Bainbridge island and has been involved with graphics and printmaking since 1980. After obtaining his BFA from Cornish College of the Arts, Siege has worked as a professional artist for 30 years. His art pieces are unique in that he constructs his frames from recycled cedar, stretches his own canvases and adds distressed paper over the top, creating layered surfaces of texture and color.
