Iosufatu Sua
Artifacts of the Pepelo People
Segments of: Seattle Weekly article by Andrew Engelson
"Artifacts of Pepelo Island" brought back from a recent trip by Seattle-based artist Iosufatu Sua, sure has an uncanny resemblance to the hip-hop painter's own work. In addition to the artifacts on display at Bluebottle you'll find several of Sua's own riffs on the "savage" aspects of Pepelo artistry. This little exhibit asks the question: would you rather visit an anthropology exhibit of ethnic art, or a show of contemporary street painting?
