COURTROOM ART

King County Public Art Collection of Rotating Artworks

  • Leo Kenney: "Imagine the South." 1983. Oil on Canvas. Primarily self-taught, Northwest artist Kenney (Spokane, 1925 – 2001) was influenced by the dream-like work of the Surrealist painters of the 1920s and 30s.  Stripped of the mythical, figurative elements, the work was keenly tuned to geometric shapes and color, frequently composed symmetrically.

  • Robert Yoder: "Fireants." 1997. Found object and wood. Yoder uses a variety of found materials, but enjoys working with recycled signs.  "By cropping these signs, I can compose their elements into shapes and forms that disguise the original letters or symbols.

  • Gregory Colfax: "Hunter and Wolf Legend." 1990. Screen print. Colfax, a member of the Makah tribe, learned to carve from his grandfather who taught him not only the technical details, but the meanings inside the rituals and designs.

  • Paint Me A Poem: A Canvas of Words, bus placard #25. 1999. Poetry & Art on Buses has been one of the most popular public art projects in King county. The 1999 theme, Paint Me a Poem: A Canvas of Words, invited poets to evoke visual images that revel their emotions and identities. The image for this placard is the Leo Kinney painting, "Imagine the South."
