a favorite seattle artist, a.j. power, will be displaying his work for the month of january at cafe flora in madison park. there's an opening reception on january 7 from 6-8.
i first discovered his work while it was on display at victrola coffee on capitol hill. a.j. power is an ornithologist who worked in the gambia as a peace corps volunteer. thus, often he paints anthropomorphic birds in africa, & the result is magical. he'll be showing all new work, ongoing paintings of the gambia & birds. (on a related sidenote, at the raptor center in north carolina i was reminded of all of the humans-with-bird-heads in ancient egyptian mythology/art. interesting...)
