Made in Chinatown USA
Description
A mixed media art piece featuring two black and white photographs, both of children, set against a square grid background. The square grid background is in brown with koi fish colored in blue and beige. Below the two photographs are six fortune cookies., Horatio Hung-yan Law; Made in Chinatown U.S.A.; 1994; Collagraph with Photolitho Chine Colle and Fortune Cookies; 22x30 inches, Born in Hong Kong, at age 16 Law immigrated with his family to New York City, where he stayed through high school. He then moved to Baltimore to study pre-med. “Molecular biology was the rage at Johns Hopkins, and I was just so bored,” he says with a laugh. “I could not connect with that at all, but I was obligated to finish it.” He returned to New York and got a research job at Columbia University, where he could take classes for free. “When I took my first painting class, it was like a light bulb turned on. I wasn't sure what was happening, I just knew it was important, so I kept taking art classes, and soon I was doing like three art classes at night and doing a full-time job, helping out my family business in Chinatown.” He quit the day job and went on to earn his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York, a printmaking diploma from Il Bisonte International School of Graphic Arts in Italy, and his MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. A residency brought Law to Portland in 1994; he then taught briefly at the University of Oregon and considered a move to the Bay Area, but found it a difficult place for artists. “I love Portland. I think it’s the kind of city that is very open to young artists, and a city that really cares about its citizens,“ he says. “It’s easier to survive here. It has the amenities of a big city but also it doesn’t have the grittiness…it’s a nice combination of things.” (see biography at http://www.pnca.edu/exposure/stories/21/horatio-hung-yan-law), horatiolaw@gmail.com, http://www.horatiolaw.com/, The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

105. 1995 Stephenson exhibition list
1995 Stephenson exhibition list
Description
2 p. Allan Stephenson's 1995 exhibition list., Allan Stephenson is an artist who draws his inspiration from the natural landscape particularly that of his native British Isles and also that of the Pacific Northwest where he now makes his home. *I am always looking for and attempting to communicate with the viewer that special sense of place that infuses some areas of the natural world with meaning, wonder and beauty. I hope my work can provide some escape from the sometimes frenetic world we all live in. I am a traditionalist. I don't see the art I produce as breaking any kind of new ground but rather I apply myself to existing forms and attempt to inject perhaps fresh content. I am currently enjoying the medium of pastel for it's direct hands-on quality that allows me to blend and sculpt the pigment using my fingers and hands rather than the intermediary of a brush.* (excerpt from artist's exhibition list), The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.

1995 Erceg exhibition list
Description
1 p. Ruza Erceg's 1995 exhibition list., Ruza Erceg In 1961, Ruza Erceg said to her daughter, Helen, "If I have paint brush, I start to make painting." Helen relayed this message to her brother Joseph, a graphic designer, who, that same day, bought her watercolors, brushes and paper. She immediately began to produce delightful, colorful images. Ruza was born in the fanning village of Imotski, Yugoslavia in 1898 and came to this country in 1922. She and her husband first settled in Pennsylvania then moved to Oregon. Ruza Erceg paints images of her past in Yugoslavia. They are soft and colorful images of rural scenes (farms, fields and farm houses), villages, white buildings with red tile roofs and an occasional painting of a sailboat or of a larger city. Her images are of no particular site but rather of a collective spirit of the land she left so long ago. Numerous paintings are surrounded with delightful painted borders which suggest a painted frame to contain the image., The Oregon Arts Commission has ten Regional Arts Councils that provide delivery of art services and information.
