Purplish
The recent profile by Seattle P-I art critic Regina Hackett on Seattle-based artist Roy McMakin explores his broadly diverse career:
McMakin developed the initial identity for J. Crew stores, built the office furniture for the Getty Museum and created the set for “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno.” He also moves easily in the world of galleries, public art and museums.
He builds houses but is not an architect. He makes furniture for use and sculptural contemplation. Like a musician who plays slightly off the beat, everything he does contains at least an element of the unexpected.
The full article is available here. Purplish, an exhibition of McMakin’s drawings, photographs, and sculpture, is showing at the James Harris Gallery in Pioneer Square in Seattle until November 8.
