Dale Lindman is a painter who likes to take his time. He weighs, tests, and often revisits formal decisions; experiments with new media and technical strategies; and physically labors over his paintings’ layered and textured surfaces. The work comes together slowly and carries the gravitas of process. Viewers will recognize the vertical cascade of panels or bands painted so thickly as to be almost sculptural, but recently Lindman has added side panels to many of the paintings. These are coated with a luminous film of poured paint that pulls light into the interior of the work and plays off the texture and embedded color at the heart of the painting. The paintings included in the upcoming show represent three years of work. Lindman uses a mixture of media including acrylic emulsion, dry and dispersed pigments, iron oxide, and glass microbeads; he works on birch panels. Fifteen to twenty paintings ranging from wall to easel size will be included in the show. A catalog with numerous reproductions and essays by Christopher Schnoor and Victor Sandblom will accompany the show.
 
Francine Seders is pleased to welcome Dale Lindman back to the gallery. She represented him in the late eighties and early nineties; subsequently Grover Thurston and Foster/White galleries handled his work. Recently Lindman’s work has been included in thematic shows at Prographica/fine works on paper in Seattle (2010, 2011); Eco Art at the Sammamish Arts Commission, Sammamish, Washington (2009); and Surface Stances at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle (2006).

Michael Dailey’s works on paper will be on view in the upstairs gallery. Francine Seders has chosen a range of work that spans the artist’s career and underscores what a resourceful and hard-working painter he was. This year Dailey’s work was included in A Family Show—Michael Dailey/Susanne Kelly, Michael Spafford/Spike Mafford, Fred Birchman/Sam Birchman/Julian Birchman at the Seders Gallery and Seattle as Collector, the Seattle Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs Turns 40 at the Seattle Art Museum.
