Joanne R. Kollman.
Figures & Portraits in Portland
Oregon Society of Artists, Portland, OR - Figures Feb 5 – 26, Portraits Mar 5 – 26
The gallery attached to this art school, at 2185 SW Park Place, is a great place to sample what amateur and semiprofessional artists are doing. As artificial intelligence gets better at rendering human forms, portrait and figure painting is at a similar inflection point as when photography arrived in the late 19th century. In two successive exhibitions, these artists demonstrate what they can capture of the human body, in a Joanne R. Kollman way the robots cannot. osartists.org
