First Thursday Round-Up

sunrise.jpg Victoria Haven at PDX

Laura Russo presents large, monochromatic drawings by Portland strong-holds Michael Brophy, Mel Katz and Lucinda Parker. Brophy takes a break from two years of focused painting offering sumi ink washes and drawings hauntingly depicting the Pacific Northwest. Katz presents charcoal drawings depicting the realized designs for his 3 dimensional works.
Opening Reception • November 3 • 5 to 8p
Laura Russo • 805 NW 21st Ave • Tel. 503.226.2754

At Pulliam Deffenbaugh, sumi ink reappaears in Jerry Iverson's Nerve Block. Iverson works with tissue paper, ink, rabbit skin glue and varnish on gessoed chip-board for a result that is as much collage as painting.
Opening Reception • November 3 • 5:30 to 8p
Pulliam Deffenbaugh • 929 NW Flanders Stree• Tel. 503.228.6665

PDX has reached a milestone. The gallery that has so long resisted First Thursday receptions finally joins the brouhaha in their new location in the heart of things on Ninth Ave. PDX christens their new space with Next a group show featuring gallery artists. It promises to be a strong showing with new works by D.E. May, Eric Stotik, Marie Watt, Joe Macca, Storm Tharp, Brad Adkins, Nick Blosser, Ellen George, Cynthia Lahti, Kevin Burrus, James Lavadour, Terry Toedtemeier, Jacques Flechemuller and more.
Opening Reception • November 3 • 6 to 8p
PDX Contemporary Art • 925 NW Flanders • Tel. 503.222.0063

Froelick presents glass sculpture by Joe Feddersen and works on paper by Sally Finch. Fedderson, a member of the Coleville Confederated Tribes (and faculty at my alma matter, go geoducks!), creates hand blown glass sculpture with traditional woven basket froms. Finch presents a collection of delicate assamblage pieces loosely based on grids, cellular substructures, printed circuit boards and book text.
Opening Reception • November 3 • 5 to 8p  
Froelick • 817 SW Second Ave • Tel 503.222.1142

Motel announces the first solo exhibition of Jen Corace. In this new body of work on paper, Corace elaborates on her distinctive linear style by introducing meticulously detailed scenery to otherwise minimal compositions. This exhibition marks the most elaborate series to date from this talented up-and-comer. Corace’s precise line work, subtle use of color and restrained composition crafts a series that is remarkable for both its artistic and narrative qualities.
Opening Reception • November 3 • 6:30 to 9:30p
Motel • Located on NW Couch St, between 5th & 6th Aves • Tel. 503.222.6699

On the heels of last week's news that Gallery 500 is closing it's doors, it seems obvious that you won't want to miss this, their final First Thursday reception and what promises to be a blow-out party. Nicholas DiGenova and Troy Briggs each present new bodies of work, DiGenova with bold detailed drawings using animation techniques of cel painting and Troy Briggs' moody, minimal portraiture and landscapes. Bring flowers and tip your hats as we bid adieu to Gallery 500.
Opening Reception • November 3 • 6p till late
Gallery 500 • 420 SW Washington • Tel. 503.223.3951
