]]>Rob Harbeck at Lotus of Portlandjim@jdapdx.comArtist Shows2010-08-23T09:03:46-07:00http://www.jdapdx.com/files/7d1bdc3f07b192d4d51333fa37a2c127-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.jdapdx.com/files/7d1bdc3f07b192d4d51333fa37a2c127-9.html#unique-entry-id-9

Photographer Rob Harbeck has a rare talent. It isn’t easy to photograph a piece of technology, like a car, and imbue it with action, energy, and passion. Rob succeeds like few others have been able to. Whether it’s the cockpit of the worlds oldest complete Ferrari, The fender of a classic Packard, or a racing car straining to make a corner on the racetrack, Rob somehow finds a way to bring it to life before our eyes. I have to admit, I’m not much of a car guy, but seeing Rob’s work set amongst Lotus of Portland’s collection of some of the worlds most beautiful automobiles… well, let’s just say it was a perfect fit.

Supercars
Although this show featured his automotive themed work, Rob’s landscapes and portraits, clearly illustrate his artistic sensibilities and depth of talent.

If you missed this show, contact Rob to be notified of his next show. And of course, watch our Northwest Art Events Calendar for Rob’s and other art events!

PortlandTarot

Cards of the Tarot re-imagined by Portland artists
The Tarot deck dates back to the 15th century and has been used since then as a map of mental and spiritual pathways. The meanings of the cards in the Tarot deck can vary from person to person, but the basic symbolism and elements remain the same.

You are invited to create an artistic representation of a tarot card based on your own interpretation of its meaning and symbolism. We welcome all 2-D and 3-D art – even the quirky, absurd, campy and beyond. This is not your grandma’s traditional tarot art.

If you are interested in participating as an artist, please fill out the information below and email the application form to portlandtarot2010@gmail.co

m. This is a juried show and acceptance emails will be received by August 10.

Participating artists will be invited to select a card randomly from a deck at a get together event on Friday, August 13. Final artwork will be due the third week of October. The opening reception will take place November 5 and will feature live performances, refreshments and tarot readers. Artwork will be on display at Splendorporium throughout the month of November. Gallery commission is 30%.

Please contact portlandtarot2010@gmail.co

m with any questions.

Please note: this is a showcase of art inspired by the tarot deck and will not be printed as an actual deck of cards.

Portland Tarot Art Show is brought to you by Jenn Feeney, Erika Lee Sears, Joanne Licardo and Anna Magruder in partnership with Splendorporium. We look forward to this being a fun and inspiring art event!

(Feel free to forward this call for artists.)

July 2010 Pioneer Show Card]]>Claire Strickland at Bamboo Grovejim@jdapdx.comArtists, Galleries2010-06-13T10:23:39-07:00http://www.jdapdx.com/files/d573da5d974638010c78841e157f633e-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.jdapdx.com/files/d573da5d974638010c78841e157f633e-3.html#unique-entry-id-3It was my distinct pleasure to visit Gabriel Weiss’ Bamboo Grove Salon on Thursday to see Claire Strickland’s wonderfully evocative work.
Ms. Strickland, who received her BFA from Marylhurst University in 2008, is displaying her Transplant Stratagem and Eco Prayers works.

Transplant Stratagem is a series of intimate format collages.

Eco Prayers Is a 5 part linocut series. Each features the human face combined with one of the 5 ancient elements-earth, water, wind, fire, and sky.

I found both sets of work engaging and enticing and was immediately drawn to the linocuts, in part because of their size as well as the composition. The pieces are very large… perhaps 16X20 … with small edition limits.]]>Chasing the Musejim@jdapdx.comGeneral, Fine Art, Introduction2010-06-08T09:46:14-07:00http://www.jdapdx.com/files/36bc607301b4e16b2b62c37f9f18de01-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.jdapdx.com/files/36bc607301b4e16b2b62c37f9f18de01-2.html#unique-entry-id-2We are finally launching our revamped website!
