Many galleries have taken a break, this month only. from First Friday, honoring Labor Day, but are back with a leisurely vengeance tonight.
Homeland has Dutch artist Marko de Kok, working in residency at Homeland. That little Homeland makes international residencies happen is f'n rad. At Gallery Homeland www.galleryhomeland.org 2505 SE 11th x Division
Nationale has an awesome new body of work from Portland fave Carson Ellis: illustrations for a little dark Dillweed’s Revenge: A deadly Dose of Magic, by writer Florence Parry Heide. Ellis taps current illustration currents, but with a lens on detail, sometimes a muted grey/brown/black palate, and quality. Her illustrations are quiet and focused.
