Vancouver, Wash. – Different Views of Several Landscapes, artwork by Jeffrey Opp and Paul Solevad will be on display at the Anstine Sixth Floor Gallery Thursday, Sept. 26, through Monday, Dec. 23, 2019.

An opening reception honoring the artists is scheduled for 2:30 – 4:30 pm, Friday Oct. 4, at the Anstine Gallery, sixth floor of Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St.

The Clark County Arts Commission is sponsoring this free event that is open to the public.

Jeffery Opp’s photos demonstrate how life extends beyond its own subjective limits and often tells a story about the effects of global cultural interaction over the latter half of the twentieth century. “I investigate the dynamics of landscape and economics, including the manipulation of their effects and the limits of our assumptions of what landscape means to us,” says Opp. 

Paul Solevad calls his artwork an “exploration of cartoon expressionism.” “I seek to intertwine a

mixture of playful line-work imagery and textural color brushwork layering. I work multiple panels simultaneously, building, breaking down, and rebuilding. The end result is an intended expressive representation of my drawing process, commenting on socio/cultural and organic subject matter,” says Solvevad.

The Anstine Sixth Floor Gallery was named in honor of Rebecca Anstine, a local artist and founding curator of the public exhibit space who served as a Clark County Arts Commission board member.

The Anstine Gallery is open 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, except holidays.
