The number of talented artists living and working in Washington State's south sound continue to astonish me. One artist I have a specific affinity now is the sculpture of Otto Youngers, who takes wood medium to a special place in an amazing way. His generative monsters seemingly from another world without a destructive bone in their bodies.
Otto Youngers will open a comprehensive show at the Hartforth Gallery in main Tacoma Public Library this Saturday. I'll be there!
Natural History of the Surreal
Sculpture by Otto Younger
August 10 through October 5, 2013
Artist's Reception: 2-4 p.m., Saturday, August 24, 2013
Otto Youngers is a champion of the "maximal", a force that reclaims storytelling, craftsmanship, and the material presence of art in the world of art where "more" really is "more".
