Trish Grantham’s pieces from Wild At Heart are now available online over at buyolympia.com »
Wild At Heart
Opens This Friday, February 3, 2012 at 6pm
Runs February 3, 2012 - March 3, 2012
Wild at Heart—new work by Trish Grantham and Lisa Congdon—is an homage to the wildly romantic month of February.
Grantham’s work for the show represents her love for animals and, in turn, their love for humanity. For Grantham, the creatures in her paintings “reach out to our wounded land and send true love and heartfelt sentiment and bring us together as one.”
Congdon’s work for the show draws on Victorian notions of romanticism and elegance. Congdon plays with the tensions between old and new, bright and dark, plain and fancy, serious and whimsical—that are all part of the romantic experience.
Both artists will leave you quite certain that, animal or human, we are all wild at heart.

Thank you for a great 2011!
Off The Wall is our last show for the year, and what a wonderful year it has been.
January saw us written up in People Magazine for Dave Mead’s Amazing Show of Beard Photographs. And then we had the Voice of The Portland Trailblazers in the house for Clifton Burt’s curated Boomshalaka Blazers’ themed-show.
In March we had our first-ever physical installation with Nate Manny’s amazing Modular: Sonic Explorations that combined photography and real-live fake sonic equipment.
April through July heavily featured Portland locals, first with artist-activist Roger Peet and then a group show curated by PSU student Emma Barnett titled and themed Heavy Metal. And in July we had the wonderful and talented Meg Hunt and her Cosmic Forest.
August saw the awesome team-up of Amy Ruppel and Driscoll Reid creating a magical world of real-life places with imaginary monsters with Wish You Were Here.
Nathan McKee and Brent Wick curated Cut-Ups in September. It was a group show that focused exclusively on cut-paper. And in October, we were lucky to have a comprehensive retrospective from graphic designer Ian Lynam.
Finally, in November we welcomed back Nikki McClure for her third show at Land.
We feel lucky and honored to have worked with such a fantastic stable of artists, and even more lucky to have one of the best audiences in Portland.
Thank you!
Happy Holidays!
We’re closed on Sunday, December 25th, but we’ll reopen for normal hours on Monday, December 26th at 10am. Stay warm and have a great weekend.
