www.portlandartmuseum.orgAdam Sorensen, Tabernacle (2011), oil on linen [Portland Art Museum, Portland OR,Sep 3-Jan 1]APEX: Adam SorensenPORTLAND ART MUSEUM, PORTLAND OR – Sep 3-Jan 1, 2012 Portland Art Museum’s APEX is adynamic exhibition program presenting a series of intimate contemporary art exhibits by activelyworking Northwest artists, includingAdam Sorensen. Sorensen migrated toPortland in the late 1990s after graduatingfrom Alfred University, NewYork. In 2003, he was selected to participatein the Oregon Biennial.The six paintings featured in hispart of the exhibit follow the trajectoryof Sorensen’s signature reinvention of agraphic-landscape world. Sorensen’spaintings draw inspiration from manyvisual sources. Pop-culture influenceslike anime inform the cartoon-like sensibilityof his rounded forms anddreamy colours, while 18th- and 19thcenturywoodblock prints by ukiyo-eartists from the Edo period are clearly referenced in the stylized compositions and treatment of space.Sorensen deconstructs the landscape into essential elements of water, land, glacial mass andmountains reminiscent of an untouched, uninhabited place in the natural world. His beautiful andfantastical oil paintings are smoothly rendered with a simple dimensionality resulting from themovement of repetitious forms on the picture plane that imply the illusion of volume and atmosphericspace. Dense candy-land topographies in surreal glowing palettes emerge from the lens of adigital-era perspective.The luminous and majestic scenes feel like an artificial conceptualization of a once-idyllic place:a long-gone utopia where breathtaking waterfalls pay homage to landscape tradition coupled withpostmodern aesthetics that fuse together the real and imagined.
