FIGURE | GROUND
a solo show from the art of dang
exhibiting more than 50 original works from an ongoing series of improvised acrylic portraits and related work.
invite some friends and join us for an evening of art featuring live music and refreshments, perhaps as you take part in the Portland Winter Light Festival!
"Through this series, I’ve been looking at the frayed edges of our perception, our distance and connection—the vulnerability and beauty of being an individual in the world and the vulnerability of being together. I’ve seen reflections of me—and of all of us—that came into focus within each painting. It is an exploration. A challenge. A raw familiarity with what it might mean to be a person. I hope you see something familiar in this work too."
Dan Gay (dang) is a veteran of the Portland creative community whose recent work includes two stop-motion feature films. His sculptural work has ranged from monumental to minuscule, appearing in installations, advertisements, museums and festivals. His ongoing series of improvisational portrait painting remains central to his personal studio work.
exhibit runs from 2/6 - 2/28
