THE COLOR OF MEMORY
Jeffrey Thomas Fine Art
June 29th - August 27th, 2016
What is the color of memory? Of all our human senses, what visual works of art can actively stimulate us to a sense of wonder, remembrance and revelation?
We know that different smells can trigger intense and often immediate recollections of time and place in each of us. The summer scent of new mown grass, pine-sap on your fingers or the aroma our own mother’s cooking are all examples of familiar experiences to us. And speaking of cooking, taste is another sense that can transport us into our past. Our sense of touch is another feeling that can trigger immediate and memorable responses in us: neither a kiss nor a fist are easily forgotten. As for our hearing, play on!

Visions and Revisions at Jeffrey Thomas gallery, Portland
What is friendship for if it is not for the support of each other. What are artists for if not for building a frame a mental house in which we can communicate about the necessities of life. There is the art of mark making on canvas as in an art piece but there is also the art of mark making within each one of us. There are the people who cut wounds but there are the others that give our life a deeper life meaning within the self by cutting away the unproductive and help us build a bond in the outside world that acts as a protective shield.
It takes vision to envision long term friendships against all odds. These seven artists used their communality their love for art to go beyond the urge of competition and instead foster a kind inter-connectedness that can serve as an example for us who are privileged to be able to enjoy art not just as decoration but as stimulation for all our senses. We also can revision our path to align it more with what supports community and weed out what grows discontent from within.
In the process we too make a mark on society and become part of the art of living correctly, by realizing what needs and deserves our support and where our dollars feed an unjustifiable greed. we are called to support the arts in its many incarnation and a good beginning is by purchasing local art so that these visionaries can continue to dazzle us with their visions.

Portland, OR. – Following the positive public response to the exhibition Beauty in the Age of Indifference earlier this summer, Dark Matter takes the viewing public on a complete 180 degree turn into the shadows. While Beauty in the Age of Indifference generated its impact from the individual works of art that served as diverse ambassadors for the myriad forms of beauty that exist in the world, the exhibition Dark Matter charts a completely different set of visual experiences.

Cascade AIDS Project Art Auction
Almost Live: 2010 Cascade AIDS Project Art Auction's New Digs a Hit
By,RICHARD SPEER 05.04.2010
POSTED IN: VISUAL ARTS, The Oregonian, Arts & Books
What a difference a venue makes. After a multi-year run in the oppressively cheesy Oregon Convention
Center, the Cascade AIDS Project's annual fundraising extravaganza benefited immensely this past
weekend from a move to the Bison Building at 419 NE 10th Ave.
The 21st Annual Art Evening and Auction
This was one of CAP's most tightly curated live and silent auctions, thanks to the discerning
eye of Roger Hull of Willamette University and the Hallie Ford Museum of Art. The live auction featured
works including Gail Tremblay's celluloid sculptures, Anna Skibska's glass filigree, Tom Cramer's
suave pyrographic painting, Andrea Schwartz-Feit's six-foot-high encaustic panel, Hayley Barker's
surreal work on paper, and many others. The item that fetched the highest bid ($9,500) was an untitled
semi-abstract landscape by the late Michele Russo, uncle of recently deceased gallery owner Laura
Russo. Highlights of the silent auction included Rio Wrenn's silk-and-rust etude; Lawrence Morrell's
twin rectangles of engraved raspberry-hued glass; Peter Miller's spooky and well-composed Day of the
Dead, 2009; Karen Silve's multi-layered abstraction; Pat Barrett's Nationalism II, with its grotesque
abomination of the Stars and Stripes as mucked-up cake icing; and Tamara English's Islamic calligraphy-
meets-English garden superimposition. Photographer Grace Weston's Lovebirds was a particularly witty
entry, with its immaculately staged vignette of a family of birds looking in on a birdcage populated by a
human couple.
While the Portland gallery crowd was not as well represented as in years past (Charles Froelick, for
example, was said to be sojourning in Palm Springs; Jeffrey Butters, a fixture during past years, was in
Portland but did not attend), attendance was nevertheless strong. With the strength of the evening's art
offerings, entertainment, and above all the inspired choice of venue, this CAP Auction signaled what we
can only hope is a resurgence in Portland's art economy and art-scene esprit de corps.
