Oregonian's Spring Art Guide

 Sarah Horowitz’s solo show of woodcut prints and ink drawings take bare branches, pine boughs and blue dill seed heads as their subject in this solo show. Rendered in blue on white or white on blue, the cropped and close-in views of these collected pieces of nature evoke the stillness of a clear winter day.

 

Terrell James: “Between Land and Water”

Houston based painter Terrell James has been working things out on paper. Her last show in Portland included large, powerful paintings whose earthy shapes and colors fairly reverberated. This smaller-scale work, which will be the basis of her solo show, gives her the opportunity to integrate delicate linework into the pieces while retaining vigorous areas of color. The mixed-media drawings incorporate combinations of graphite, colored pencil, ink, dye, watercolor, collage and paint, a laundry list of mediums that belies the light-handed effortlessness of the work.

On view: June 2-July 10, Froelick Gallery, 714 N.W. Davis St., froelickgallery.com or 503-222-1142
