Blue Mitchell

Sometimes blurred and battered looking, Blue Mitchell’s images, whether narrative or non-, often have a dreamlike quality enhance by his broadly inclusive imagemaking toolkit containing Holga, pinhole, Polaroid, film and digital cameras as well as alternative processes, scanners, aged paper, wax, installation, collage, and hand drawing. His work is at its best when it is simplest: when it eschews narrative and lets image (or space), texture (both captured by the camera and added through process), and color (even when the color range is that of sepia) do the talking.

Located on the Park Blocks, FILTER/TALENT (733 NW Everett) opens its offices for a May First Thursday reception for photographer Blue Mitchell from 5-8:30 PM on May 3.

Kudos to FILTER, a creative placement agency, for supporting the non-commercial work of Portland talent as well.

    I really like how you use different processes to change the feeling of your pictures. They bring forth different elements that can create different emotional reactions from the viewer. Most seem very surreal invoking feelings of fear, turmoil, and anxiety, while others feel tranquil and peaceful. Very impressive. I look forward to seeing more.
