Show Statement from the Curators: Portland is a city to love.
How can you not love Portland? I am a Native Portlander, and I am very proud of growing up here¬Â¦I've left a few times briefly, but I always come back. I feel that Portland defines me. Jason is from Idaho, but has lived in Portland for over a decade - it is his home and we are very much die hard Portlanders (like many of you). To us, art is a huge part of what defines Portland. We have been talking about doing this show for over a year: a show just about Portland, about art about Portland and about Portland art. We have both worked on the LOVE show in past years. This is not the same show. We feel this show is just as important - but even more local and centered on a subject we live and breathe every day - the wonderful city of Portland, Oregon. (curators Chris Haberman and Jason Brown).
Also featured in the ORANGE POSTER PODS: Powerslide Design Co. (The Graphic Arts of Mike Klay)
¬Å“Having done posters for theatre productions in school and having an overwhelming passion for music, it was inevitable that one day the fusion of design and music would become a reality. Using the outdoors and the Pacific Northwest as a backdrop for inspiration, Klay's spacious, vector-drawn poster designs manage to stay gritty and human with textures and rough patterns,¬Â writes Corianton Hale, Art Director, The Stranger Newspaper. Mike also manages to print all of his own work and has made posters for Seattle venues such as The Showbox, Neumos, Chop Suey, The Crocodile Café, Graceland, The Gorge and The Premier.
