151. One Night I Dreamed of a Dog
One Night I Dreamed of a Dog
Description
A carved wooden mask with large darker wooden eyes. There is a large white circle on the mask's forehead, with a matching shade of white circles around the eyes. Rope-like braids line the perimeter of the face, with a beaded, beard-like appearance under the chin. Deer skin tassels with red beads hang from each side of the mask., One Night I Dreamed of a Dog…; Rick Bartow; Carved Wood and Mixed Media; 9 x 6 x 3.5 inches; '93; BarR93020814; (inv. 1404), The frailty of life on this planet and the need to recognize the interconnectedness of all species are common threads that weave through Bartow's work. His Yurok Indian heritage and his experiences in Vietnam are the source of these feelings and nurture his imagery. Crow/raven and a pantheon of other animals, including man, figure prominently in his work. He reanimates the ancient myths of Northwest peoples into his visual language. Once the symbol of rebirth and the spirit of all life, crow is a ghost-like figure in this monotype who knows "he" is no longer central to our lives. (OAC documentation, 1990). A Vietnam veteran and a Yurok tribal member, he addresses grief and fear in his work as means to dismantling them. His work is represented by Froelick Gallery and Stonington Gallery.

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.
