Patricia Rovzar Gallery is the best-located, worst gallery in the city. It is prominently located right across from Seattle Art Museum, where it broadcasts big, vapid paintings out into the streets of the city.

The paintings of Barry Masteller look to be just the same as all the other paintings at the gallery, and the PR is just as nonsensical. Take it away, PR:

Barry Masteller interprets light and shadow with both expertise and enthusiasm. His painterly style requires nearly transparent applications of pigment, creating a surface in which light seemingly emanates from within the canvas. Although his paintings are expressionistic, they also at times exhibit subtle nuances of the surreal. His compositions evoke a warm beauty that is utterly contemporary.

I do not know where to start, so I will only say that warm beauty is not utterly contemporary.
