Miha Sarani | The ICON: a Man called Duff

August 7 – 30, 2025

Opening/First Thursday Art Walk: August 7, 5-8 pm
Artist Talk: Saturday, August 16, 1pm

“The ICON: a Man called Duff” by Seattle artist Miha Sarani is an exhibit 10 years in the making. The exhibit is a combination of portrait paintings and silkscreen prints featuring legendary rock star – Seattle’s own – Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, and more. It acts as a conclusion to a project originally commenced in 2014. That project – later known as the “Koncentrik Painting” series – was inspired by a brief, accidental encounter with Duff in 2014. Acquired by the University of Washington, the Koncentrik Painting series is on permanent display at Mary Gates Hall.

Now the project comes full circle with Duff’s help. In 2024, he generously volunteered his time to collaborate and contribute – graciously helping bring this passion project to a rewarding conclusion.
