Pat Sewell calls his art "Spontaneous emissions." He opens a one-man show at Artspace on Thurs, Jan 19, 5 to 8 pm.

"My paintings largely happen: their underpinnings unannounced until their emergence, but sufficiently potent once at play in design that they leave me a sense that I am not in charge so much as along for the ride," says Sewell.
