Adam Sorensen visited our advanced painting class last weekend to show his work. He paints wild, imaginary landscapes in a mix of dark and bright, sometimes neon colors. At times his work reminded me of a painter’s version of Ralph Bakshi. The mood of the paintings share a mix of eeriness, doomy-gloomy, cartoonishness and hopefulness. He’s a local Portlander and you can see the effect the local landscape has had on his work. It was so great seeing his presentation of his work and it was very inspiring. Just wanted to introduce his work to you if you aren’t familiar.
Adam Sorenson shows at PDX Contemporary in Portland, Oregon.
