  CLIVE KNIGHTS

  AUTOCHTHONOUS CITIES & OTHER LIMINAL WORKS 2 Sep - 12 Oct 2021 The artist and cultural commentator John Berger has said, “We who draw do so not only to make something visible to others, but also to accompany something invisible to its incalculable destination.” I maintain that the work presented in this show is the outcome of such acts of drawing, despite...

  FROM A DISTANCE: Across the Great Divide 2 Sep - 12 Oct 2021 The title of this show was taken from two songs popularized by Nanci Griffith, a wonderful folk musician, who died this August. We’ve had a lot of loss lately so it seemed fitting to take titles from two songs she brought to form: From a Distance , written by Julie... Read more

  EARTH, MOUNTAIN and SKY: Willamette Valley Landscapes 5 - 31 Aug 2021 Although I have lived in Portland since 1980, my affinity for a wide open landscape and a large sky is from my Midwest roots.

  SIGNALING 5 - 31 Aug 2021 Signaling offers work that I have created in the past eighteen months. It is my attempt to make sense of this new world and find hope within it.

  LB BUCHAN

  SCULPTURES 1 Jun - 31 Jul 2021 My work addresses the discomfort we often feel with taboo subjects such as death and decay, and our impulse to avoid them, physically and emotionally.

  WILLIAM PARK

  NEW PAINTINGS 6 - 31 May 2021 My work in this show is a continuation of work that has been growing in large part since 1980 when a friend introduced me to Richard Diebenkorn’s work.

  TRANSITIONS 6 - 31 May 2021 2020, it is obvious to say, brought many changes to us all. It was, and still is, a confusing time in which to plan and make “life decisions”. It was in July of 2020 when my partner and I, Maria Carey, were given the opportunity to make a big change... Read more

  SPIRIT OF PLAY 1 Apr - 4 May 2021 Risk-taking, curiosity, intuition, problem-solving, physical engagement, spontaneity, abandon: these are among the elements that go into every abstract painting I create, elements that comprise what I refer to as a “spirit of play.” There are few guides to my process, particularly in its early stages, save perhaps a color relationship...

  JEN CROWE

  PAINTINGS 3 - 30 Mar 2021 My paintings are created without the use of brushes using a mixture of oil and cold wax. I use paint in an extensive layering process to create a “history” on the panel.

  CLIVE KNIGHTS

  PRECIPITATIONS 3 - 30 Mar 2021 Ironically, collage might be the most liberating creative medium. Despite being a process of gathering image material already wrapped up in everyday life, previously spent, so to speak, in its contribution to former intentions of which the collage-maker played no part (e.g. popular press, literature), it nevertheless inspires an intuitive,...

  LOST SOLITUDES 3 Sep - 17 Oct 2020 It’s good having people around. But our world is too full of people. Solitude connects us with the absence of others.

  Pāramitās 3 Sep - 12 Dec 2020 The Pāramitās in Buddhist philosophy are the six perfections for the cultivation of character. A consistent, transitory experience in present-ness, that both is, and leads to, enlightenment. This work represents the ever unfolding and formation of these philosophical ideas in the renovation of character. The intangible made permanent, as a... Read more

  SIGHTLINES: On Seeing What is Really There 3 Sep - 17 Oct 2020 We are living in a time that calls for hope and generosity and clarity of vision.

  DARK SKY RHYTHM 2 Jul - 29 Aug 2020 I consider myself an artist grounded by the earth, in the land; feet planted while I walk, senses heightened and amplified by nature.

  FRIDAYS WITH FRED 7 May - 2 Jun 2020 In April 2007 a tall, lanky fellow entered my studio near the end of an exhibition party. He was an interesting sort.

  THROUGH THE VEIL 27 Feb - 2 May 2020 This current body of work represents for me an attempt to approach painting from a new point of view.

  PLEXUS 4 Apr - 1 Jun 2019 Artist Statement: My work is about learning to count to one. I attend to how the eye traverses one visual quality toward another, how awareness jumps and connects, how it is diffused and distracted; how it reconfigures sight, associative groupings, gestalts, how in the process of painting the hand, the...
