We stopped by the shared studio of artist Arrington de Dionyso and China Star. Both have been guests on Olympia Pop Rocks, full fledged Friends-Of-The-Podcast.

Arrington has a distinctive vision. If you see his work, you immediately know its his work. But he still has the capacity to surprise with what he lets you see. And he’s actually great too: that’s the hat trick. He makes distinguishable art that can grab you with a new piece and it’s actually good.

China is more diverse in her ability. She has a variety of styles and visions she puts out. Flashes of colors that seem to make a dream landscape, but in investigations show themselves to only be… to only be. You can look at one of her small pieces and feel like you are watching a scene, but with no recognizable figures, places, beings or objects. Its organized, but by laws and rules you only know in your gut. But she also showcased a tall skinny piece on paper with single line, expert doodles that show the life of an artist in Olympia. Winning and immediate as Picasso’s famous sketch of Don Quixote, but showing what Arts Walk looks like at its art and at its best. THIS should have been on the cover of the Arts Walk magazine!
