Gallery artist Pat Boas is one of the fifteen contemporary Oregon artists at the focus of a new exhibition at the University of Oregon’s Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Oregon. Hallie Ford Fellows in the Visual Arts 2017-19 will be on view from October 3, 2020, through January 10, 2021. The exhibition was organized by independent curator Jenelle Porter for the JSMA in collaboration with The Ford Family Foundation.
The exhibition includes three prints from Boas’s AM-FR series. These large-scale digital prints were made while in residence at Watershed Center for Fine Art Publishing and Research at Pacific Northwest College of Art (Portland, OR), and the resulting prints highlight her artmaking process and material considerations. The work appears freshly activated, momentarily fixed in space or energetically transitional. Combinations of woodcut, digital and screen printing processes enliven each print with distinctive textures, line characteristics and nuanced dimensionality.
A publication featuring Boas’s work with an essay by Bean Gilsdorf was produced by The Ford Family Foundation to coincide with the exhibition.
