Westside art openings are reviving slightly, though others focus on Friday and Saturday openings.
Mathew Picton https://matthewpicton.com/ opens The opens Age of Kali, Age of Belief. They are detailed mixed media works remixing "historical, religious, and spiritual symbology intertwined with newspaper headlines." This follows his human-built city pattern work. I'm an fan of his early work including the candy sprinkles and mud crack works. His subsequent city works offer more touchpoints. He has engaged Leach and the noted Carl Solway Gallery.
Jeremy Okai Davis http://work.jeremyokaidavis.com/ presents A Good Sport, acrylic portraits of black Americans in sports and academia, in a watercolor style. He was featured by Stumptown: http://stumptowncreative.com/episode-27-jeremy-okai-davis. His representational work reaches many touchpoints in culture.
