Oregon is on the front edge of plants as an aid for professional psychiatric treatment. If you can't wait, Adam Sorensen is well known for his psychedelic landscapes. He opens a new show of them, Water Color, with a reception today.
"Drawing from a wealth of influences, including references to the Hudson River School painters of the American West, the Romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich, animation aesthetics, and the ukiyo-e traditions of Japanese woodcuts, Adam Sorensen’s paintings are deeply tied to the reality of the landscape, but are imbued with enough imagination to make them otherworldly.
Mottled prismatic skies, misty waterfalls, and chromatic vistas mingle with emptiness and desolation. These uninhibited landscapes allude to places that have come before us or to those that will come after us. The paintings become a lens in which to view our ever changing, yet continuously sublime natural world."
Sara Krajewski, the Portland Art Museum contemporary curator will interview Sorenson at 6.
