BODY:
Portland, Ore. — January 3, 2024 — A Sometimes Gallery is pleased to announce COLOR/TIME, an exhibition of paintings by Portland artist Jessica Poundstone. This will be Poundstone’s first solo show of paintings, and her second show with A Sometimes Gallery.
In this body of work on canvas, formal geometric structures mix with whimsical, intuitive color palettes, creating physical spaces for contemplation. The pieces encourage multiple meditative viewings, and serve as icons — containers, touchstones, totems — for the meaning, memories and meditations we bring to them.
From her artist statement: “With apologies in advance for a rhyming list of three...I have found that making and looking at these paintings has helped me slow (shifting to a different experience of time), know (accessing my intuition through form and color choices and relationships) and grow (taking in the meditative, positive vibes that happen when a piece clicks together). I hope collectors will share in some (or all!) of these experiences as they bring the pieces into their spaces.”
A Sometimes Gallery will also be releasing a poster for the show, available exclusively through the gallery at www.asometimesgallery.com
