Pauling Gallery exhibit begins today
Lundgren, Rasch use 'element of surprise' in art
by Nicole Turley
Staff Writer
Susanna Lundgren and her
husband, Ron Rasch, will display
a fine assortment of drawings and
paintings in the Pauling Gallery
at Clackamas Community Col
lege from Jan. 13 to Feb. 9.
Among Lundgren’s works are
a variety of six by eight foot, two
panel paintings, bearing many
different themes and subject matter
such as religion and mythology.
“The subject matter has a lot
to do with medieval art,” Lund
gren said.
The painting sets are designed
in pairs, “sort of like the old dip
tych idea,” Lundgren said. One
painting flows into its partner to
create the entire work.
“To me it kind of evokes that
relationship between the two, sort
of a question and answer,” she
explained.
Many of her interpretations
have to do with beginnings and
endings such as the Garden of
Eden and Judgement Day. “Ulti
mately my idea is that these will
have universal meaning about
beginnings and endings of cycles,”
Lundgren said,
When she begins doing this
kind of work, she has in mind
only a general idea of what she
will create and then she lets her
artistic intuition take over from
there. She calls this method of
composition “working large.”
“I didn’t really sit down and
try to develop these right out of
my mind, but they kind of
emerged as I painted and thought
of ways to make these forms in
teract,” she said.
Lundgren does work in a
variety of other, what she calls
“more salable forms” of art, such
as tapestry, calligraphy and print
making.
However, she prefers to do
this kind of work because, she
says, “It really gets the fresh and
creative ideas flowing and kind
of the element of surprise be
cause I don’t know what the end
result is going to be when I start
out”
Rasch, her husband of eight
years, also shares this element
of surprise in his work even
though his is quite different in
many ways.
Rasch creates smaller draw
ings of overlapping figures. “This
is working with live models. In
the course of an evening, the
model will change positions and
you don’t quite know what posi
tion it’s going to be,” Lundgren
explained.
Rasch, who is also a long
time portrait artist and illustra
tor, has been doing this type of
work with human figures for
approximately two years.
Lundgren points out that the
one thing she really admirers
about his work is how he repre
sents the figure.
“He is able to understand
something about the inside of
the person from how he portrays
the figure. I really think that’s a
special ability he has,” she said.
The opening reception for
the Lundgren and Rasch exhibit
will be from 12 to 2 p.m„ today.
The reception is open and free to
the public. Anyone interested in
finding out more information
about the exhibition can call ext
