Portland artist and musician Morgan Buck brings Love, Light and the Thrill of Imminent Distraction. Buck states "The most exciting thing that a painting can do is to give a “you can’t make this shit up” type of vibe. This vibe has a tendency to present itself in reality tv, weird internet trash and social media as passing glimpses into a stranger world. These media sources become the raw source material for my paintings. Aggregating, combining, and altering screenshots from many web media sources."
