February 22 - March 28, 2020
The Pacific Northwest based artistic duo, Stephen Strum and Jason Hallman, under the collective name Stallman, continues to develop their pioneering technique of paint on canvas, creating a series of mesmerizing sculptures. Their technique molds painted strips of canvas into compositions that shift in color and form depending on the viewer’s perspective. The pair has personified the unity of their collaboration into their canvases, inherently dissolving the boundaries between self and other. The collection holds complex emotional narratives in which it explores the notion of union. Stallman define the aspects of their project as follows: “Our union of dynamic minds dissolves the boundaries of what is possible turning the ordinary into extraordinary”.
Represented across the States as well as internationally, Stallman have exhibited their work in such far-flung cities as New York, Seattle, Dubai, and Hong Kong. Recently awarded the Carol Duke Artist Award of Excellence from the Bellevue Art Museum ARTS fair, their work has also been featured in many publications, including Vanguard Seattle, My Modern Met, LUXE Interiors + Design, and Fahrenheit magazine.
