First Thursday Picks December 2007

Michael Brophy at Laura Russo Gallery
Michael Brophy, "Ruin"

Coming back strong after September's studio fire, Michael Brophy is exhibiting this month at the Laura Russo Gallery. Here There Nowhere "explore[s] the evolution of the Northwest landscape." His subtle, elegant paintings build upon historical reference to create a "mythic impact."

Eva Lake at Augen Gallery
Eva Lake, "Deeper Dive" (2007)

Eva Lake's extraordinary oil paintings will be at Augen Gallery this month. The meticulously hand painted lines of Richter Scale can only really be appreciated together on the wall, their vibrant colors building and layering to a truly impressive impact.

Augen Gallery • 817 SW 2nd AVE • 503.224.8182


Mellow Yellow opens at East End PDX

Opening reception • 6-10pm • December 6

Dana Dart-McLean at QPCA
Dana Dart-McLean, "Thought Police"

Another group show showcasing young Portland artists is happening this month at Quality Pictures: It's Kind of Endless features paintings, works on paper, and sculpture by "new Portland talent." The variety of styles and work on display does seem, well, kind of endless, and should give the viewer an impressive sampling of up and coming Portlanders (including the possibly omnipresent Jason Traeger).

Opening reception • 6-9pm • December 6
Quality Pictures Contemporary Art • 916 NW Hoyt • 503.227.5060


Brittany Powell at Tilt
Brittany Powell, "Gone Sweatin'"

Using contact paper and an exacto knife, Brittany Powell has transformed Tilt into "a communal living room for fun, irreverent exercise." The installation takes a playful look at our relationship to exercise and our environment, creating a sweatin' space that is "non-gym, but out of the home." During all gallery hours, the space will be open for sweatin', and there will be a designated daily "Sweat with Brittany" hour.

Opening reception • 6-9pm • December 6
Tilt Gallery and Project Space • 625 NW Everett #106 • 908.616.5477
