Friday Dec 2nd 6-8pm the Gallery at the Jupiter – presents – jesse reno – bubble gum geometry – a solo exhibition of over 20 new works – the Gallery at the Jupiter – 800 e burnside st – pdx or 97214

Gallery @ the Jupiter is proud to present “Bubble Gum Geometry,” an abstract art collection by local artist Jesse Reno (official), from December 2, 2016, to November 31, 2017.

The First Friday – Portland’s Eastside Artwalk artist opening reception will be held on Friday, December 2nd, from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Bubble Gum Geometry happened, it was not conceptualized. It is a progression and extension of my ongoing experimentation with the process of abstraction and expressionism… a place where I act and react to my process, guided by mark, shape, and color interactions, and feelings more than form. The outcome is unknown and non directed. The directives are fueled by feelings rather than clear ideas or imagery.”

The Jupiter Hotel has been an incubator for small businesses and a supporter of the arts. The First Friday event is an opportunity to treat attendees to a variety of sensory stimulation and support the local artisans that make Portland a unique and wonderful place to live.

5 day workshop at Hacienda Mosaico. More info at http://www.haciendamosaico.com/ws_24.html.

Jan 29th – Feb 4th this will be a special workshop focusing on large scale work. this is thanks to the expansive facilities at the hacienda.
it will be the closest look you can expect to get at my process, ideas, techniques, and methods. with techniques that promote introspection, through random actions, methods and expressions. the perfect amount of time to take on a project of large scale and really get a feel and full experience of how to best engage in these techniques.
there will also be plenty of time to step away or into the pool to get a fresh perspective on our work.
