ART BUSINESSES
1. Imogen Gallery
240 11th St.
Imogen presents “Fish: Work,” an
exhibition held in conjunction with
the 2016 FisherPoets Gathering and in
honor of the importance of commercial
fishing to our region. Photographer and
commercial fisherman Corey Arnold of
Portland brings a powerful collection
of color photography, narrating his own
experiences working in Alaska, both on
the Bering Sea and Bristol Bay, as well
as northern European waters. His inti-
mate look at the working environment
is an inspiration with a nod of respect to
those who depend on the sea for their
livelihood. Arnold is represented by the
Charles Hartman Gallery in Portland.
2. RiverSea Gallery
1160 Commercial St.
Jesse Reno, a self-taught Portland
artist of international renown, returns for
his second solo show at RiverSea. “Born
of Wishes” is a new collection of complex
mixed-media paintings layered with
shamanic figures, magical beings and
the artist’s personal symbology. Each is
a palimpsest documenting the evolving
manifestations of his artistic journey
while imparting a folkloric narrative that
reaches deep into the human psyche.
In the Alcove, six of the gallery’s
represented artists are exhibiting in the
group show “Local Boats,” in homage
to the rich heritage of seaworthy ves-
sels that have plied the waters around
Astoria, from dinghies, to sailboats, to
trawlers. Featured are new paintings
by Rich Hoffman, Roger McKay, Robert
Paulmenn, Noel Thomas and Eric Wie-
gardt, and the handpainted photographs
of Donna Lee Rollins.
