I recently had the chance to visit the studio of Portland artist Doug Davidovich. Doug and I first met in 1995 while we were both enrolled in the American University MFA program and I've been a fan of his work ever since. I respond to his spare, modern compositions, his nuanced surfaces, and the way he suddenly shifts the space of his shapes (see the recent "Citadel" series). He also has cold beer in his studio mini-fridge, which is  also good.
You can see more of his work at davidovichstudio.com

More Davidovich. 

Please join me for the opening of "Just Like This For A Little While," my show of recent paintings.  The opening will be at Oranj Studio on July 8th from 5-7 pm. The show will continue to run through August.
Location: 0726 SW Gaines Street Portland, OR 97239
​I hope to see you there.

Transformation Chase will include works by four artists- Pat Boas, Brenden Clenaghen, Michelle Ross, and David Schell- who pursue image production as a type of transformation chase, hunting down forms of visual language where slippage between systems and chance coexist with erasure and evidence.
