Nichole DeMent, Stephen Rock

Nichole DeMent engages human spirit and nature through archetypal symbols in her new photo-based mixed media encaustic works.  From diverse artistic voices including Caravaggio and Louise Bourgeois to conceptual influences of the Oracle of Delphi and quantum physics, her interest lies in ideas and imagery that explore the many layers of the human story.

With new large format pigmented prints, Stephen Rock shares complex and energetic works from his “gardener’s journal” series. Through the use of exploding florals placed amidst atmospheric landscapes, his work explores the eternal transience of nature and beauty.

Rock and DeMent are Seattle-based artists who are both represented by the Seattle Art Museum Gallery along with other regional venues and exhibitions. Together they ran Rock|DeMent visual art space in Pioneer Square for over 6 years. DeMent is currently the Executive & Artistic Director at CoCA ( Center on Contemporary Art) in Seattle and Rock runs Rock’s Studio, a digital art printing studio. Together they share life and art with their 2 cats at their home in West Seattle.
