California artist Obi Kaufmann is coming to Seattle for a very special engagement and show of his new paintings and drawings. Obi has a rich collector base in the Northwest and because of it, the new work will be offered at Collector’s only prices. The engagement will coincide with Seattle’s Belltown Art Walk that occurs every third Thursday of the Month.
This is Obi’s second trip to Seattle to show at Bedlam. The first happened in November of 2009 and the paintings sold out. So come and and bring a beer and check out the work.
Obi’s paintings reflect a style he calls “Gothic Nouveau”. A dark style of neutral colors that invoke Romantic poetry and figurative expressionism. Raw and sprited, the work has been called by the SFChronicle “an apt mix of illustration and street art.” Obi would add Cave Art to that formula.

–UPDATE
if you missed Obi, you missed big time…it was another complete sell out, every single piece he brought up flew out the door. Course that meant nothing was left on the walls at Bedlam, so I gathered up most of my Obi pieces from home and brought them down. So if you missed his show, you can still “see” some of his stuff here. None of which is for sale.
artists bio- … what once started as a project, has morphed itself into my artistic identity… I like to make pictures, I don’t know how I would explain them… Very layered pieces, I’ve become very interested in the process of making the end result… Exploring new techniques, new mediums, mixes, variations, it’s endless. Thanks for taking the time to check out what’s happening in my world, and how things are taking shape…
