Henk Pander: STEEL & BONE
March 6 - 27
The Pilot, 2008 by Henk Pander
Called "a lyric investigator of extreme situations", Dutch-born painter Henk Pander has played a major role in Portland, Oregon's artistic community for over forty years. Trained in the rigorous Dutch Academy, and informed by a childhood shadowed by Nazi occupation and an impoverished life in Holland as a result of World War II, Pander's sometimes larger-than-life paintings meld traditional realism, still-life, and painterly virtuosity with contemporary drama, turbulence, and danger. Often skewed and rendered with graphic-novel directness, his mesmerizing, un-idealized depictuions of post-industrial decay, emergency response situations, and military aftermath resound with the psychological effects of lost purpose, rough tragedy, and unredeemed violence, and suggest the awesome philosophical enormity of history and time.
Garden Views: The Culture of Nature
Photographes by Dana Fritz, Larry Gawel, and Gwen Walstrand
February 6 - 27
Painted Leaves and Dripping Moss, Lied Jungle by Dana Fritz
Finding the term "nature" problematic, photographers Dana Fritz, Larry Gawel, and Gwen Walstrand each approaches the notion of landscape as construct, revealing the human defined, culturally structured delineations revealed in the nature of formal gardens, backyards, and even wilderness. Calling to question what is "real" and natural and what is "unnatural" or contrived, each artist connects place and idea through visual association, redefining the bounds of landscape photography.
