"TWO BLONDES AND A RED HEAD"

by Blaine Fontana

Since 2013, PDX artist and curator @Gage_Gage_Gage Hamilton has partnered with "Forest For The Trees" producer Tia Vanich, "pulling Portlanders away from their daily routines" to see the city as a literal canvas for the art of today. In 2017 @FFTTNW expanded their urban canvas into nearby Beaverton and Blaine Fontana added this work behind @MoChaTeaHouse on Farmington Rd. A "distinguished alumni" recipient from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, Fontana runs a successful art and design studio in Portland but still makes time amid his many other commitments, to make art. Exploring the roles of signs and images in contemporary visual culture Fontana says his work "straddles the physical and metaphysical, organic and architectural, and painterly and graphic sensibilities."  @blainefontana/

BEAVERTON MURAL PROGRAM

by Gina Wilson

A year after working with the Beaverton, Oregon mayor to get the law changed, designating murals as art rather than signage, Illinois transplant Gina Wilson and her ladder were at work on this wall on the back of Ickabod's Tavern, launching a new wave of public art in the city. Asked by an observer, "who owns the mural?," Wilson replied that if you live in Beaverton, the mural belongs to you, and now still vibrant and unblemished after a decade the message of community ownership appears to have worked. Describing her interaction with the mural as "dancing with it" Wilson says it reflects the trees in the lot and color of the building of the neighboring US Bank building, but while the figures and the heart have deep meaning to her, she goes on to say "my stories are not the best or right ones for you." Wilson challenges viewers of her work to discover their own dialogues and allow the imagery to “dance” with them to.  @CityofBeaverton
