1,000 Years, oil on canvas 36 by 48 in. Emilia Kallock 2012
This painting is titled 1,000 Years. It is said humans by default can’t think much more than 2 hours in front of them without effort and training, and this painting asks to consider time increments by thousands of years. The two main figures (unfinished) are discussing the love story as embodied by the Blue Willow china pattern that has become legend and landscape. Here the myth of the lovers fuel the possibility of building a future of potentiality and beauty.

Óor, acrylic on canvas, 2012, Emilia Kallock. Nearly a thousand musical notes and wispy color washes comprise this portrait, in the form of a human figure walking. Many of the notes are free floating, and some are arranged in musical compositions. I wanted to portray the essence of a personality, which will live on even when the individual is no longer there. Óor is Old Norse for song, poetry and inspiration, with connotations of possession. The contemporary translation survives as Odin. copyright 2012 Emilia Kallock

Curator Greg Lundgren at The Hideout
Two paintings of mine are on display at The Hideout, a stylish and elusive art bar on 1st Hill in Seattle. From the street, only a ‘cocktails’ sign can be seen but once inside, a Parisian feeling room with high walls is packed with contemporary paintings from Northwest artists, hand selected by owner/curator Greg Lundgren. This is a great place to meet friends for some art viewing and delicious drinks!
