“Take Off”, Eva Lake at Augen Gallery. photo via Augen Gallery.
Eva Lake is our favorite multipronged PDX art attack: smart art writer, former gallerist, art radio personality (Art Star in PDX and now Art World). She’s also one of the hardest working artists in Portland, putting everything she’s got into her eye-bending paintings (we love how “Take Off,” above, deliciously evokes the palette and brushwork of early Malevich filtered though an Op Art lens). These are paintings that pulse, vibrating with energy like the artist herself, and “Richter Scale,” her new solo show, opening December 9 at Augen Gallery downtown (817 SW 2nd), is wall to wall with 44 of them. Go see.
