Ed Kamuda: New Oils and Gouaches<br />
LISA HARRIS GALLERY, SEATTLE WA – Apr 5-28 Ed<br />
Kamuda is a self-taught painter well-established in the<br />
Seattle area for more than thirty years. With a highly<br />
personal vision of reality, he reduces three-dimensional<br />
elements to primitive, linear shapes that have the<br />
simplicity of folk art yet manage to retain the<br />
sophisticated resonance of Expressionism.<br />
Through his spare, evocative images, Kamuda<br />
demonstrates a reverie for nature and a meaningful<br />
connection with the original subjects. His stacked<br />
compositions of local scenes conjure images by Paul<br />
Klee. Kamuda’s work is characterized by a rich, earthy<br />
surface depth created with layers of oil paint and wax.<br />
<strong>The</strong> physicality is heightened by palette knife marks.<br />
In this new exhibit, Kamuda has also created a group<br />
of large-scale gouache paintings. <strong>The</strong>se pieces share the<br />
soft and dreamy movement of his oil paintings. <strong>The</strong><br />

water-based media allows the shapes to dance on the picture plane creating a sense of lightness.<br />
Kamuda’s paintings contain a mysticism reminiscent of work by such painters from the Northwest<br />
School as Morris Graves and Guy Anderson, the latter a friend of Kamuda’s. Allyn Cantor<br />
