First Thursday Gallery Suggestions

Should be a beautiful evening tonight for art viewing. There are quite a few new shows and the weather should be nice. Below are just a few of the more interesting exhibits you might want to check out.
  • Laura Russo Gallery, 805 NW 21st St - Painter Jack Portland combines elements of surrealism and expressionism with a patterned and abstract vocabulary. He incorporates images ranging from landscape to still life to a synopsis of personal forms.
  • Butters Gallery, 520 N.W. Davis, Second floor - encaustic paintings by Debra Van Tuinen, and glass pieces by Alessandro Casson.
  • New American Art Union, 922 SE Ankeny Street - presents Evident by Laura Fritz.

I went to Portland for the first time from the East Coast. It is a really nice city. Some friends suggested visiting Butters Gallery - what a nice gallery, and they have fantastic work. The glass pieces were amazing - Benjamin Moore, Sonja Blomdahl and especially the contemporary works by an Italian artist Alessandro Casson were out of this world. I will definately visit again.
