Isaac Layman
Residence-ish
December 13, 2025 - February 6th, 2026

A note from Isaac:

The initial hang of Residence-ish dealt with destruction, death, and renewal — the passing of my mother and the end of a 24-year marriage. I thought I’d be sitting with those ideas for a while. Instead, those works have been moved six feet up the wall, shifting the perspective to something like Six Feet Under.

What’s on view now — or will be, as the pieces are still being made — are chalk drawings, photographs, and works produced in real time, evolving. All attempts to find footing after the end of things.

Isaac Layman works and lives in Seattle, WA. Layman has exhibited at the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, MN), deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum (Lincoln, MA), Frye Art Museum (Seattle, WA), Blanton Museum of Art (Austin, TX) and Norton Museum of Art (West Palm Beach, FL), among others. He was awarded the Betty Bowen Award from the Seattle Art Museum and the Contemporary Northwest Art Award from the Portland Art Museum. His work is in many collections including the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis, MN), the Margulies Collection at the Warehouse (Miami, FL), the J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, CA), Portland Art Museum (Portland, OR), the Museum of Fine Arts Houston (Houston, TX), the Henry Art Gallery (Seattle, WA), the Seattle Art Museum (Seattle, WA), and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (Minneapolis, MN).
