Artist's Reception: First Thursday, May 2 , 6-8 PM

Live in the Sunshine is a new body of work by Portland-based artist Kim Osgood. Osgood’s vibrant paintings and monotypes celebrate the abundance of beauty found in the natural world. Her pieces are infused with energetic color and fleeting moments of time. Mountains, trees, birds, insects, flora, and fauna are often the subjects of her works; either created in her studio, or observed while painting outdoors en plein-air. Osgood frequently adds symbolic objects to her pieces such as ropes, keys, lanterns, and doors, which further enrich her narratives.

Gary Faigin - Smoke and Mirrors
April 4 - 27, 2024
In Smoke and Mirrors, Pacific Northwest artist Gary Faigin, continues his series of allegorical paintings using trains as the central character. At times sinister, heroic, or completely incongruous, Faigin’s trains dominate their surroundings, whether it be urban, pastoral, or the High Arctic. Steam engines puff across the frozen ocean or fragile ice bridges, inescapably reminding us of the role of industrial civilization in the increasing threat to such landscapes. A black engine racing like the Batmobile emerges from a tunnel, it’s energy and drama tempered by the ominous red smoke belching from its stack. An approaching train catches a lone figure in its beam, while strange skyscrapers of the future loom in the distance.
Faigin’s paintings use the seduction of chiaroscuro and heightened color to engage us in his troubling narratives; beauty coexisting with the mechanical beast calling out a unwelcome future.
