Cabin Fever and Turn It On
are not the names of this season’s
hottest box office smashes. They
are two works of art featured in
The Art of the Found Object dis
play housed in the Pauling Cen
ter. The show was kicked off with
a “meet the artists” reception on
Oct. 24 and will run through Dec.
5. Four Portland artists are in
volved in the showing: Mario
Caoile, Margarita Leon, Mark
Bomowski and David Selieck.
Rick True, a part-time design
instructor here at Clackamas
Community College, came up with
the idea for the display. True of
ten gives his students assignments
to use “found objects” in their art
“I tried to pull work for a veiy
unique approach from different
artists,” said True when asked
which artist’s sculptures he chose
to display.
The artists whose art is in
cluded in the show are Mario
Caoile, Margarita Leon, Mark
Bomowski and David Selieck.
Leon works with sticks which
she finds in the woods and fash
ions mostly humanoid figures in
bright colors, somehow sculpting
in a sense of humor.
Selieck works in wood, metal,
wire and shows a definite affinity
for pounding pieces of metal,
particularly nails in the heads of
his figures in place of hair. His
figures are mostly animals.
Metal is the medium of chose
for Caoile. He pounds and welds
the metal into sculptures that depict
every day life.
The most contrast of both
colors and artist style is shown in
the work of Bomowski. He com
bines black and white pictures of
two human figures with colorful
objects such as a red checker piece
and a pink latex balloon.
All four are well-established
artists whose works are displayed
in other galleries in the Portland
area.
The first found object sculp
ture was done in 1908 by Marcel
Duchamp. It was a urinal and was
submitted as a joke to a European
salon in protest of the salon’s re
fusal to recognize all art forms.
