Portland Places
New Illustrations by Aaron Voronoff Trotter
OPENING RECEPTION
FIRST FRIDAY ~ October 1st
at Caffe d'ARTe | 1615 NE 15th Ave | 6-9pm
My goal is to draw the most important icons of Portland, to find the image that represents Portland to everyone. My drawings are documentary artifacts that capture a visual record of the city's iconic landmarks. Without the aid of a photograph, I draw on location, sketching out the composition. Later I embellish the details.
My attention to architectural detail is related to my past and future work as an archaeologist and technical illustrator. I am also influenced by graphic novels and comic books. My recent experiments with crosshatching style is inspired by early Renaissance printmakers, most notably Durer and Mantegna.
