Carl Chew is one of Seattle’s most inventive artists, mastering almost every artistic medium including painting, printmaking, installations, and rug making. All his work is laced with profound humor, twisting and ironic. “My father was half Chinese, half Irish setter. My mother, an intriguing organic labyrinth. At an early age they sent me off to sea with Charles Darwin on the Beagle. I worked at his side, and later with Gloria Vanderbilt in China uncovering the remains of Peking Man Wardrobe, that I invented on of life’s greatest mysteries: Truth in Advertising.”
