John Lysak - As Time Slows
As Time Slows in an exhibition of new work by Olympia-based artist John Lysak. Lysak’s soft, dreamy ink & watercolor, and acrylic paintings are saturated with pigments and reveal strong emotional undercurrents. His practice is marked by a gestural, process-driven approach that embraces spontaneity and experimentation. Drawing on motifs from nature—animals, landscapes, and florals—Lysak constructs layered, atmospheric compositions where saturated pigments and diffused contours evoke memory, mood, and the subconscious. Nocturnal scenes of moonlit skies hovering amongst darkened forests awaken deeper emotions and curiosities. Lysak’s use of melancholic palettes and fluid mark-making invites the viewer into a meditative visual terrain that is both intimate and expansive.
