After devoting 43 years to being an art dealer, I am announcing my retirement and the closure of Linda Hodges Gallery. 
 
The gallery has witnessed a long and successful roster of remarkable artists and devoted collectors. I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with incredible talents whose art has graced the walls of the gallery, my home, and multiple museums.
 
Gaylen Hansen, an Artist that has been with the gallery for 38 years, will be our final exhibition in June.

Linda & from First Thursday’s Opening Reception.

Thank you to & for the tribute to Alfredo Arreguín.

It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Alfredo Arreguin, a giant of the art world represented by our gallery for 23 years.
“Ultimately it is through Arreguin’s eyes, through his soul and artistic sensibility, that we are able to perceive our human condition, to share that vision of a common ancestral legacy and ponder our individual, daily role in determining the quality of the world future generations will inherit.” Lauro H. Flores, University of Washington

Thank you to Soo Hong & everyone who came out for her insightful talk.

Liam Jones makes paintings of landscapes and suburban settings that are typically located in and around communities where he has lived. His first series of paintings were mobile homes and housing developments under construction in California, often places Jones viewed as not living up to the American dream their developers or occupants had envisioned. These ideas continue to be present in the current work, where he depicts businesses, apartments, and houses suggesting a working class or middle-class identity. There are scenes of perhaps ordinary suburbia with elements of Americana—such as American flags, topiary, pragmatic commercial buildings—on prominent display. Although realistic in scope, he works in the details he wants the eye to focus on while flattening out roadways and other less important facts. Jones’ work is on view at Linda Hodges Gallery through April 29th.

For his 10th exhibition at Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle artist Fred Holcomb mines the fertile ground of Pacific Northwest beachscape painting. Large in scale, some are very still and meditative with gargantuan skies and evocative reflections, while others display the rawness of nature. From sculpted logs to improbable sea-stacks, reflected clouds to rocky coastlines, each painting is exquisitely rendered. The sense of the sweep of history and the romantic pull of nature imbues the work with a grandeur found only in Western landscape painting.

Holcomb received a BA in Architecture from the University of Washington and a MFA in Painting from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 2006.

For his 10th exhibition at Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle artist Fred Holcomb mines the fertile ground of Pacific Northwest beachscape painting. Large in scale, some are very still and meditative with gargantuan skies and evocative reflections, while others display the rawness of nature. Many show familiar Puget Sound sights, and most are of the Pacific Coast. From sculpted logs to improbable sea-stacks to reflected clouds to rocky coastlines, each painting is exquisitely rendered.

Holcomb paints places he has visited, from the coasts of Washington and Oregon near LaPush, Kalaloch, and Lincoln City. Holcomb's encounters with nature mine the history of the American landscape genre. The sense of the sweep of history and the romantic pull of nature imbues the work with a grandeur found only in Western landscape painting.

A Seattle resident, Holcomb received a BA in Architecture from the University of Washington and a MFA in Painting from The University of the Arts in Philadelphia in 2006. Born in Tacoma, he has shown extensively in the Northwest.
