Chasing Ghosts V: Art that Pierces the Veil through remembrance, legacy, & beyond
Verum Ultimum Gallery 3014 NE Ainsworth, Portland, OR, United StatesThis show emphasizes the idea of revealing the unseen or the soul in a work of art. The term ghost may be interpreted in many ways, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. This year's interpretation might be loaded with the added turmoil of current social, health, environmental, and political climate.
Exhibitionista: LIMINAL at Verum Ultimum Art Gallery
Verum Ultimum Gallery 3014 NE Ainsworth, Portland, OR, United StatesVerum Ultimum Gallery tasks artists to define “Liminal” for this first edition of this exhibition.
I am thrilled to be part of this first edition of the theme: LIMINAL, at Verum Ultimum Gallery through which artists are invited to explore the theme, LIMINAL in any interpretation.
Liminal is the space between. What significance does transition (or the “space between“) have in your work or your artistic voice? Does your work reflect the liminal aspects of our pandemic-impacted world and the adaptation to a post pandemic existence? Does your work represent and or challenge the threshold to a more equitable society? Or, perhaps it reflects a vehicle for expression through pure abstraction.
As with all Verum Ultimum's calls for art, the curator never seeks to drive the work, the only hope is to unveil unique visions. All mediums and modes of expression have been welcomed from low brow, pop surrealism, realism, abstraction, and more. The term Liminal may be interpreted in many ways, and is not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation.
EXHIBITIONISTA: WHISPER at Verum Ultimum Gallery
Verum Ultimum Gallery 3014 NE Ainsworth, Portland, OR, United StatesI am thrilled to participate in WHISPER! at Verum Ultimum Gallery in Portland.
Says Owner and Curator Jennifer Gillia Cutshall:
"...when the murmur from art echoes beyond the walls & settles somewhere secret. And "Whisper" with an exclamation may signal contradictions or dualities. The term carries symbolism pertinent to the momentous occasion, but it also carries mystery to be filled in by artists' interpretations. Verum is open to all perceptions of this theme. Delicate expressions are welcome, as are bold, and the term WHISPER may be framed in many ways, not necessarily meant to be a literal elucidation. All mediums and modes of expression are welcome. Verum Ultimum Gallery tasks artists to define this inaugural exhibition to herald in Verum's new space in Southeast Portland this summer of 2024!"
