Doughlas Remy
creates mixed-media
assemblages from glass, plaster, metal, wood, resin, and other materials.
Sizes are approximately one to three feet square. The frame and the backing of each assemblage form a sturdy "container" into which the various objects are placed before the resin is applied. The frames are therefore integral to the work itself. In most cases, they are hand-crafted by the artist, and they always extend the themes, the palette, or the materials used in the work. All works are framed, signed, and ready to hang. |

Click image for larger version. Title: Hippolytus Year: 2004 Dimensions: 36"H x 36"W x 2"D Price: $3500
Available through April 2009 at the Escala Presentation Center, 414 Stewart Street, Second Floor, in downtown Seattle. This is the only one of my works that contains the representation of a human figure. The face in the inner frame is that of a Greek Hoplite warrior, but I named the piece after Hippolytus, the son of Theseus, who first lost control of his passions by making love to his father’s new wife, Phaedra, and then lost control of his chariot as it went off the road and over a cliff. Compositionally, the piece was a joy to create. Lots of objects, such as the frames, the rondels, and the steel hooks, became available at just the right time.

Title: Eunomia (Greek: "Order") Year: 2006 Dimensions: 27"H x 25.5"W x 3"D Price: $600 "Eunomia" is the classical Greek word for "order," referring to the equilibrium of a society in which no element is allowed to dominate any other. The inspiration for this piece is from Karen Armstrong's book, The Great Transformation. (2006) |

Principalities, 30"H x 30"W x 2"D, 2003. $850
The golds, oranges and yellows of this piece, barely held in check by the red studded frame, suggest intense and unruly energy and even cataclysm. The music that I associate with this piece is Gounod’s Faust.

Click image for larger version. Title: Esprits Year: 2005 Dimensions: 37"H x 42"W Price: $3000 I have always been in awe of (traditional) cathedral architecture, and I conceived this work as an homage to the mystery and wonder of their vast, rich, and colorful interior spaces. “Esprits” (French for “spirits”) clearly suggests the cosmos and all things transcendent, but beyond that, nothing is clear, except perhaps that it is a very “spiritual” piece. The viewer can enjoy musing over its meanings. The artist is not giving anything away. The materials used in the piece are hydrocal, fused glass, metal, wood, and resin.

Click image for larger version. Pierre et Jacques, 2005, 27"W x 30"H. $1400.
This piece is representative of one the ways that I work. I began it several years ago and exhibited it several times before deciding to revisit and revise it. This “show and tweak” process was repeated several more times until the piece achieved its present form. In this case, the most recent “tweaking” was in fact a substantial “remake.” One reason I called the piece “Pierre et Jacques” was in remembrance of a couple of college friends—brothers—whose names were Pierre and Jacques. The other reason was that there is a “jack” in the lower center, and it is surrounded by stones. “Stone,” in French, is “pierre.” The materials used in the piece are fused glass, stained glass, plaster, metal, and resin. |

Title: Bound Year: 2005 Dimensions: 20"W x 22.5"H Price: $250 There are always tensions in my work, as if I were trying to find a comfortable place to inhabit between control and spontaneity, between symmetry and disorder, or between the synthetic and the organic. “Bound” holds these tensions in place, but with difficulty. The hydrocal and glass forms swell and leave their flotsam around the edges of the frame, and the composition seems about ready to morph into something different at any moment. The foreground components of this piece are hydrocal, fused glass, garnets, and resin. In the background are heavily oxidized metal (painted), gauze, stained glass, and beads.

Click image for larger version. Ossuarium, 37.5"W x 36"H, 2005. $3000 (Worldwide shipping and handling included)
This highly abstract and polyvalent work stirs the imagination. Selecting a title for it was challenging. “Ossurarium” is a Latin word meaning “boneyard.” The piece is not as somber as its name suggests, however. Some of the forms in the foreground suggest carnival masks. The cobalt blues, reds, and turquoises of the background enliven and enrich the palette.

Click image for larger version. Emergence, 36"W x 36"H x 2"D, 2004. $4000
Light emerging out of darkness is the theme of this work. It is a highly ordered piece, with elements organized around a central vertical axis. The materials, with the exception of the reflective green and burgundy glass, are almost entirely industrial. Especially notable are the small gunmetal rosaries at the top and bottom centers.

Price: $250 “Belle Epoque,” the French name for the turn-of-the-century era in France (end of the 19th century), has a light and frothy look suggestive of sumptuous surroundings, mirrors, champagne, and perhaps the music of Jacques Offenbach. The piece has a very strong center with lateral—and nearly radial—symmetry of compositional elements. The materials are metal, glass, and resin. |

Title: Rosaire-diamant Year: 2004 Dimensions: 18"W x 30"H Price: $1400
“Rosaire-diamant” (French) means “Rosary-diamond,” after the two dominant shapes of the piece. Like “Hextrusions,” this is classic assemblage in that it consists almost entirely of manufactured non-art materials. The delicate pastels—blue in the upper half and pink and yellow in the lower—contrast with the hard and utilitarian qualities of several of the major components of the work—the Allen wrenches, the gas meter parts (around the diamond), and the gears (scattered throughout the piece). Even industrial materials can reincarnate as precious, frothy, and even frivolous.

Title: Hextrusions Year: 2003 Dimensions: 16"W x 20"H Price: $1400
“Hextrusions” is a classic assemblage in the sense that it contains only manufactured objects. These objects, which include industrial parts, resale-shop jewelry, and molded glass, are tightly “assembled” into the hexagonal frame to form a mandala. The apparent radial symmetry of the piece is only approximate. Note, for example, that the four silver flowers placed next to four contiguous sides are not replicated along the fifth and sixth sides. This work, unapologetically, has no “negative space.”

Click image for larger version. Title: Saffron Cream Year: 1998 Dimensions: 27.5"W x 41"H. Price: $1200
I greatly enjoy creating patterns and symmetries, but machines will always create more perfect ones. So I also enjoy “busting up” or disrupting these patterns in various ways. In this piece, I have used a great many small objects, both industrial and decorative, to produce an extruded mosaic that is simply pullulating with patterns. The overall impression is one of order and harmony, but a closer inspection reveals an abundance of dislocations and asymmetries. |

This is another work that I started nearly five years ago. It has been through several incarnations. It is an extremely rich piece—not for every taste. For me, it suggests almost revoltingly sweet things to eat, like candy swimming in cream. Hence, the fanciful name, drawn from three European languages, “Bonbons mit krema.” The “ingredients” are hydrocal, glass, crystal, metal, and fused glass. |

“Channel,” with its strong lateral symmetry, is composed almost entirely of art glass—some stained, and some clear but highly textured. The two foreground panels, with their lighter colors, frame the deeper, richer colors of the channel that runs between them.

Title: Avopapamango Year: 2005 Dimensions: 16.75"W x 21.5"H Price: $850
When I completed this piece and sat contemplating it, I was overcome by a hankering for some tropical fruit. So I enjoyed a bowl of fruit and titled the piece “Avopapamango.” Like several other recent works, “Avopapamango” is very organic in its colors and its curvilinear forms. It is composed of hydrocal, fused glass, and resin. mailto:geannac@hotmail.com?subject=Availability of artwork by Doughlas Remy |

Currently available at Julia's
Gift Gallery, 1209 NE 65th, Seattle, WA 98115
This is the first of the "crab" series. I collected crab exoskeletons during several weekend visits to a friend's beach house on the Hood Canal near Hansville, WA. The crabs in these assemblages are presumed to be engaged in various activities, much like the lions in the iconography of medieval heraldry. Just as there was a "lion rampant" and a "lion couchant," there is a "crabe rampant" and a "crabe couchant."

(See the "Crabe caché" for notes on the "Crab" series.) The Panthéon in Rome is one of the most famous buildings in the history of architecture. At the very top of its dome is an opening, called the "oculus," which lets both sunlight and rain into the structure. In my assemblage, a crab reposes just under the oculus of the dome-like structure in the center.
