Jason Poboyart Brown Framing are closing April 30, 2016.
RECEPTION: Saturday, April 16th 2016. 5-9pm. All ages.
Sadly, Pioneer Galleries will be closing their doors on April 30th. OUR last art show as united galleries (Peoples Art of Portland, Mark Woolley at Wonder, AIR Gallery/Fred Swan and OneDer Gallery/Jason Poboyart Brown Framing) at Pioneer Place Mall is Saturday April 16th, 5-9pm (“The Final Countdown”).
Due to future development of the spaces by investors, we are unable to continue our lease with Pioneer Place Mall. We have been open and active since 2009, hosting hundreds of shows with thousands of visitors.
We have always been “guests” in the mall, occupying empty retail spaces, supported by a generous corporate entity. We always knew the ART party at Pioneer would end someday, and we thank the mall, Bob Buchanan (Mall director, who thought of this idea), Georgia Coward (mall liaison and friend) AND all the artists, volunteers, managers, staff, family, friends and everyone that has ever supported us in these spaces. THANKS SO MUCH. We are working on a new place for our next adventures. All Love For Portland Artists, thanks for being our friends.

"5th Annual Love of Portland Art Show"
RECEPTION: Saturday, February 20, 2016. 5-9pm. All ages.
Portland is a city to love. How can you not love Portland? Whether a Native Portlander or an entrenched Oregonian transplant, the City is our home and this month at People’s Art of Portland, regional artists respond to the themes of Love and Portland. To us, art is a huge part of what makes up Portland culture; its people, and the appreciation and LOVE for all things Portland.
50+ artists, celebrating the themes of LOVE and Portland:
As former joint curators of the LOVE show in past years, (a venture that began with artist/curator Ben Pink in Launchpad Gallery), Peoples' Art curators Chris Haberman and Jason Brown started The Love of Portland show in 2012 after the original “LOVE” show ended. We kept the show going because we feel it is important to express local artist’s response to the themes of LOVE and PORTLAND – two ideas that are part of a lot of themed art, but even more local and centered on a subject we live and breathe every day: our city. From tattoos, bikes and bridges, to themes of Portlandia and food carts, this show reflects a “People’s” view of what is Portland, from an artist’s perspective.
"Visual Crap - The Poster Work of Voodoo Catbox:
A retrospective look at the works of Gary Houston"
RECEPTION: Saturday, November 21 – December 6 5pm- 9pm
SHOP Voodoo Catbox POSTERS>>
A retrospective look at the works of Gary Houston” This month at the Peoples Art of Portland is a retrospective of celebrated and beloved Portland based graphic artist, Gary Houston, and his long and amazing career of hundreds of original pieces, screen prints and music posters. Houston will be pulling works from his massive archive (The Houston Library), to showcase original drawings, art prints and his spanning career of notable screen printed music posters.
The World According to Gary Houston:
Portland based Gary Houston, is well known as the “Blues Fest” poster artist of Portland and for his illustration company, Voodoo Catbox. Houston’s posters are hand made using traditional methods i.e. scratch board illustration or hand cut rubylith, and then hand pulled. Since 1995, Houston has humbly operated under the moniker of Voodoo Catbox, a well known entity in the poster industry. But he is most well known as the signature artist for the Portland Blues Festival, which his unique scratch-board style has become the timeless branding of the festival since 2001. Houston calls the work he does as: hands-on, physical, creative and romantic. “It’s leaving a little bit of history,” Houston told Oregon Music News in 2009. Besides the Waterfront Blue Festival, Houston has done work locally for: Oregon Music Hall of Fame, Portland Art Museum, Crystal Ballroom (with Northwest acts like Mel Brown, The Decemberists, Robert Cray, The Dandy Warhols, Sallie Ford and Death Cab For Cutie). “Inspired by the music and musicians themselves as well as Northwest Native American art, Houston's work often contains a message and humor, but it wouldn't be rock and roll without eagles and skulls and flaming guitars,” writes Vortex magazine of Houston’s body of work.And Houston has always been a notable artist of his craft, locally and nationally, doing visual works for such national acts as: Willie Nelson, Ben Harper, Moon Alice, Steve Martin, Little Feat, Los Lobos, The Grateful Dead, Social Distortion, David Byrne, The Black Crowes, Wilco, and many many others.

From tattoos, bikes and bridges, to themes of Portlandia and food carts, this show reflects a “People’s” view of what is Portland, from an artist’s perspective.

The
Peoples Art of Portland
was opened in 2010.
We were struggling
for two things: a name
for the gallery and
a resident artist.
Both came with one
conversation with the
amazing EMEK, who not
only agreed to be our
shining resident artist,
but also helping to
provide the basis for
the name of the gallery.
EMEK is considered one of the most
famous American poster artists alive
today, part responsible for the lasting
revitalization of the art form from
the 1960’s tradition of music posters.
His unique vision and insight to these
creations spawned a new medium and
collector base in the genre, and forever
coined EMEK – “The Thinking Man’s
Poster Artist” by musician Henry Rollins.
So far, his unique visual style has graced music posters on a diverse musical spectrum, from Blues legend B.B. King to the Beastie Boys. He has painted album covers for Neil Young and Pearl Jam as well as for many punk and alternative bands. He was invited to exhibit at the opening for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame “History of Rock Posters” exhibition and has been in national and international magazines. As you read this, his work is permanently displayed in Hard Rock Cafes. Over the last decade, EMEK’s work has been shown in galleries across the United States, in Berlin, London and Tokyo. In December, 2007, Billboard named the top 25 rock posters of all time. EMEK garnered 3 spots on the list, the most of any single artist.
This is EMEK’s 3rd annual show with the gallery, an always celebrated and magical time as hundreds of art works grace the space. We will be featuring highly sought original works; installation areas of electric poster boxes and glow in the dark/black light works, as well as a selection of rare past works and concert handbills. Our gallery slogan, “For Artists, By Artists” is represented as a whole by this generous and talented Portland transplant and we are proud to present this enormous collection of his works.

NOW>
The World of Chuck Sperry
Sperry's art is energized by the political street art and concert posters he has prolifically created for over 25 years. His new pieces, exhibited in Portland for the first time, express the synergy of social concern and popular iconography, graffiti and detourned classical themes, political outrage and imagery drawn from the Century-long world tradition of poster-making.
Chuck Sperry lives in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where he’s made his particular style of rock poster designs for over 15 years. He operates Hangar 18, a silkscreen print studio, located in Oakland, California. Sperry works in San Francisco, but exhibits internationally from Athens to Argentina, Bristol to Belgrade (visited Belgrade at the invitation of The Cultural Minster of Serbia).
By conducting workshops and lectures all over the planet, Sperry’s tutelage has inspired a new generation of rock poster and silkscreen artists worldwide.
His artwork has been exhibited at leading San Francisco art institutions including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts; his prints have been archived by the Achenbach Graphics Arts Council, The Oakland Museum of California, San Francisco Public Library (Main Branch), the United States Library of Congress,and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He has brought his rock artistry to projects for Goldenvoice, Live Nation, Virgin Megastore, Guitar Center, Random House, Harper Collins, Harvard University Press, Nylon, and Wired.
Released in early 2009, the documentary film “American Artifact” prominently features Chuck Sperry. He has been featured in documentaries for film and television in the US, Europe and Australia.
One can find his art featured in many books, most notably The Art of Modern Rock, Peace Signs, The Anti-War Movement Illustrated, and Street Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo.
Sperry has honed the craft of designing and hand screen printing for over 15 years to become recognized throughout the world as one of the foremost rock poster artists and printmakers. Elevating the craft to fine art, Sperry creates socio-political artwork beyond rock. He adheres to the ideal that beauty strengthens his message.
(Note: Chuck Sperry will be in Portland for this show and is available for interview prior to the opening. He is a very articulate, intelligent, personable and humorous artist and is open to selective interviews, Q&A, etc. Please contact Chris or Jason to schedule an interview)

"THE ART OF PORTLANDIA": Saturday, May 18th. 5-9pm May 18th – June 9th
Our gallery slogan is “For Artists, By Artists” – and this fit perfectly last year when our gallery was asked to be the “art curators” of Season 3 for TV Show PORTLANDIA. We were honored and hit the task running. We were responsible for selecting all the back drop art used for the show for last season, working directly with the art department of Portlandia, and the script to help create a very “Portland” feel with the back scenery used…and of course, all the art was made by Portland artists.
This art show is a tribute showcase to the work of the artists from Portlandia, their art, and posters from the show from varied artists, including DKNG, Guy Burwell, EMEK, Ali Schlicting, Allison Bruns, Amy Stoner, Andy Vanoverberghe, Anna Magruder, Beth Myrick, Brenda Dunn, Brooke Weston, Cathie Joy Young, Chris Haberman, Chris Kelleher, Dan Ness, Darlene Schaper, David Wein, Emily Bates, Eric Blackburn, Fred Swan, Gary Hirsch, Heide Davis, Heidi Elise Wirz, Jeff Sheridan, Jennifer Mercede, Janet Amundson-Splidsboel, Jeremy Okai Davis, Joel Barber, John Wray, Jonathon Hill-Jacquard, Katherine Mead, Kelly Neidig, Kendra Binney, Linda Womack, Lea Barozzi, Matt Schlosky, Michael Trapp, Mona Superhero, Tamara English, Tripper Dungan, William Park, and many others.

Poster Artists of the Month – Orange
Poster Pods : Peoples
Gallery features a nationally
recognized poster artist each
month. Fitting in with the
science theme of Oregoncology,
this month’s artist is New
York based David Welker. His
two decade long professional
career has ranged from large-scale
murals to posters for the
legendary rock band Phish.
Welker’s 1993 album cover
for the band received critical
acclaim and was voted as “One
of The Most Iconic Album Covers
Of All Time”. Welker is a
traditionalist that has adopted
the graphic nature of poster
art, while still exploring
the realm of abstraction,
a quasi-literal environment,
which challenges the borders
of conceptual and pictorial
space. As Welker puts it, “Every
generation predicts its’ own
doom as well as the end of
art as we know it. This is
one of many human proclivities
that I like to reflect on
and also reject.”

FOR THE LOVE OF PORTLAND #2
Peoples Art of Portland, Po Boy Art/Jason Brown, Chris Haberman and Mark Woolley Gallery presents… A Joint Gallery Show between Peoples Art of Portland Gallery and Mark Woolley Gallery, neighboring galleries that have pooled their regional artists for this annual 300 artist group show as a tribute to the concept of Love and everything Portland
How can
you not love Portland? Whether
a Native Portlander (like
curators Mark Woolley and
Chris Haberman, who actually
went to the same high school)
or an entrenched Oregonian
transplant (like curator Jason
Brown, from Idaho originally,
who has embraced this City
lived here for 17 years and
help form its culture), the
City is home, and it helps
define us.
To us, art is a
huge part of what makes up
Portland culture; its people,
and the appreciation and LOVE
for all things Portland.
Chris
and Jason started this Love
of Portland show last year
because they wanted a show
that celebrated LOVE and PORTLAND – two
ideas that are part of a lot
of themed art, but even more
local and centered on a subject
we live and breathe every
day. The show consists of
(1) piece per artist, as tributes,
bridge scenes, big bikes,
big beards, roses, food carts,
tattoos - and really everything
that defines an artist personal
connection or view of the
city.
Featured Love of Portland Poster
Artist: Dan
Stiles Every Month, Peoples Gallery features a nationally recognized poster artist each month. This month’s artist is the acclaimed Dan Stiles. What Dan is trying to do with his design is to say as much as he can using as little as he can. He try's to pare down the idea and the form to its essence. Dan feels like visually the work is bolder that way. Posters should be bold, you're supposed to be able to see them from across the street. He also finds that once you strip off all the fluff you find out if your idea is any good or not.

you can purchase all of Dan

POSTER ARTIST: EMEK X
MEET THE ARTIST AT THE ART OPENING
SATURDAY 9/15/12
Emek has been
referred to as "The Thinking
Man's Poster Artist". Coming
from a unique family of 5 artists,
Emek has made his mark creating
special limited edition silkscreen
posters for live concerts around
the world. Emek’ style thrives
on attention to detail, coupled
with layers of meaning in the
artwork. His infusion of socio-political
commentary into pop culture imagery
has made his work instantly recognizable
in the field. Emphasizing craftsmanship,
his work is mostly hand-drawn
in the tradition of the classic
psychedelic posters from the 1960's.
Born in the 70's Emek was also
strongly influenced by the DIY
punk flyers of the 80’s. "I
appreciate the creative freedom
this medium allows me because
the bands generally give me total
freedom as long as I advertise
the show info. I am allowed to
dip into the recesses of my imagination
and see what spills out onto the
page. This allows me to be my
own art director and I am able
to experiment with different concepts
and styles to keep things fresh.
Today's disposable culture paves
the way for tomorrows collectable
nostalgia...I'm just trying to
make it interesting" Over
the last 2 decades, Emek has created
hundreds of posters for some of
the top alternative bands and
events, like Radiohead, Coachella,
Queens of the Stone Age, Tool,
System of a Down, Jane's Addiction,
The Flaming Lips, to name a few,
as well as album covers from Neil
Young and Pearl Jam to Henry Rollins
and Erykah Badu. Emek's work has
been shown in galleries across
the United States, Berlin, London,
Tokyo, Belgium and Canada. He
has been interviewed on CNN, featured
in dozens of magazines and books,
including covers of Juxtapoz magazine. shop

FEATURED
POSTER ARTIST: John Vogl
John Vogl runs the Bungaloo, a small illustration and design outfit, all by his lonesome, from his sunny home in Denver, Colorado. All of his work is illustrated by hand, with love, care, and tears. His prints are an exploration if thoughts, deep and shallow, deliberate and spontaneous. He tends to work within a muted palate, giving my work an undefined aged/vintage feel, that, somehow, feels fresh at the same time

"The LANDSCAPE Show" 60+ Artists create works of traditional and non- traditional art. view show>
LANDSCAPE: Noun: All the visible features of an area of countryside or land, often considered in terms of their aesthetic appeal. Verb: Improve the aesthetic appearance of (a piece of land) by changing its contours, adding ornamental features and plantings. With this show we are branching into a very conservative art form: the art of the Landscape. Our gallery, which deals primarily in “Outsider” art, rock posters, and folk art, often works with traditional encaustic and oil artists as well, so the idea of Landscape and mixing the artist forms together seemed inviting. From the classic oil painter to the graffiti artist, this Landscape show is filled with paintings, sculptures, multi-media, assemblage, etc – to show the varied artists’ vision of what landscape is – from a classic farm field painted in watercolor to a dense urban building scene, the show exemplifies the full gamut of Landscape. email for availability of Landscape show pieces.

"OUTSIDE THE BOX (II) ": 30 + Portland Artists create 3-D work that extends past the frame view show>
In 2010, Jason and Chris were at Jason’s frame shop (PoBoy Art and Framing) when they decided to run art shows together. One of the first “concept” shows they formed was Outside The Box. Drawing from the familiar term, they wanted to challenge artists to work in a 3-Dimensional style with their paintings and/or constructions, working within a frame, but being able to “expand” past that frame. As much as art is defined by its framework, both in physical frame and within genres, we wanted to expand the idea of genre and have the artists think Outside The Box. Each artist has completed (6) works for this show (1 larger, 16”x20”, and 5 smaller, 8”x8”). This anniversary show is a tribute both to the artists that work in 3-D forms, but also to those that challenge themselves to work further. Painters that make 3-D versions of their work, to clay potters that work on vertical sculpture – this show includes Portland artists in every genre of art.
FEATURED
POSTER ARTIST: DAVID WELKER
David Welker is a contemporary visual and musical artist known for his elaborate Rock posters, murals, and paintings ranging from abstract fantasy scape’s to hard edged realism. His work over the last two decades has built up a devout following including private collectors, celebrities, and particularly indie and pop rock musical acts. His fine art includes original paintings, hand rendered prints, and illustration often leaning towards the surreal, pictorial and the urban landscape. His career has followed a path of experimentation and genre jumping taking him from the top of the landscape mural scene to the top of the gig poster scene in just a few short years. Welker is now beginning to set his sights on the gallery world as he sets out to combine all of his varied influences and inspirations into a unified contemporary visual force for the 21st century.

"SPAWN CAMPING THE PSIONIC SWAMP": The Art of John Howard
In His Own Words, Artist John Howard
I don't really know how to talk about myself as an artist very well. I feel like I make art in a secret laboratory down long narrow stairs in a cave somewhere. It's very serious, even the funny parts. And I carve and carve, digging out something they could never understand, but that we know. We know it like running through the fields at night full speed and then diving into the thick grass and rolling and rolling into a slump of arms and legs howling.
And there is nothing on earth that is more real and nothing more inexplicable. It has nothing to do with trying to teach anyone anything. But look what we have found! Look how things fit together in different ways! Look how it's different than what everybody thinks. Look it's magical! I hope you don't mind I say we instead of me. I feel like we are part of a gang or movement or generation that is somehow in tune to something beyond the usual. I have always felt like this. So you and me, we just keep kicking a#@, ripping down the normal and make magic out of the scraps. Thanks for coming with :)
Most all the work here is screen printed.
My main focus is drawing directly,
ink on paper, where I can let ideas
flow and allow for concepts to emerge
from the process. Then these are combined
and cultivated into compositions that
often include the very first drawings
created, long before the final concept
was yet evident. I then create color
separations so that the art can be
successfully screen printed, most
often in signed/numbered editions
of one to three hundred.

ALSO FEATURING NEW WORKS BY:
Mona Superhero is a utility tape artist based in Portland, Oregon. "Her work is reminiscent of sixties style silk-screened pop art that is comprised entire of tape and cared with the precise strokes of an X-acto blade.” -Willamette Week
Jonathon Hill-Jacquard... lives in Portland and utilizes his time constructing an assortment of work, currently composed of wood and vinyl appliqué. Executed with non-traditional materials, his work documents his environment, experiences, and the people, places and things he has encountered over the years using symbolic imagery and text.
Joyce R. Campbell is a mixed media sculptor currently creating work at her studio in Portland, Oregon. Her work reflects this diversity and the results are widely varied but always whimsical in nature. Her pieces often contain materials that have spent their lives as one object that she transforms into another.

"SPOTS OF TIME" Linda Womack,
Fred Swan & Nate
Duval
Featuring the work of Linda Womack and Fred Swan
Portland based Linda Womack, is a nationally recognized artist, teacher and published author (Embracing Encaustic: Learning To Paint with Beeswax). In 2010, she was the curator for Luminous Layers: Exploring Contemporary Encaustic, a wide ranging exhibit in Oregon featuring 65 artists and more than 160 pieces of art. Womack is a tireless advocate for the arts, a working artist and a flagship for encaustic artists in the Pacific Northwest. She is joined in this show by one of her students, Fred Swan. Swan is a lifetime artist, being represented for many years by Quintana Galleries. His signature watercolors depicting Western scenes were recently replaced with a new art direction in his life. After a near-death experience in 2010, Fred returned to art making as a form of rehabilitation. His “new” art was a transformation from the watercolor realism into an abstract form in encaustic, examining geological forms and nature. The duo has examined the phrase “Spots of Time” to reflect their combined works for this show. The term is coined from the poet Wordsworth’s The Prelude: “There are in our existence/spots of time,/that with distinct pre-eminence retain/a renovating virtue.” In essence, Spots of Time, truly does reflect both the medium of encaustic (wax hardened from a fluid state) to purist ideas of abstract beauty “frozen” in time.
Poster Artist of the Month: Nate Duvall
Peoples Art Gallery features a nationally recognized poster artist each month. This month’s artist is Nate Duvall. He lives in Longmeadow, MA.

"THE LOVE OF PORTLAND"
150 + artists create pieces of art based off their LOVE and vision of PORTLAND, OREGON.
Portland is a city to love. How can you not love Portland? I am a Native Portlander, and I am very proud of growing up here…I’ve left a few times briefly, but I always come back. I feel that Portland defines me. Jason is from Idaho, but has lived in Portland for over a decade – it is his home and we are very much die hard Portlanders (like many of you). To us, art is a huge part of what defines Portland. We have been talking about doing this show for over a year: a show just about Portland, about art about Portland and about Portland art. We have both worked on the LOVE show in past years. This is not the same show. We feel this show is just as important – but even more local and centered on a subject we live and breathe every day – the wonderful city of Portland, Oregon. (curators Chris Haberman and Jason Brown).
Also featured in the ORANGE POSTER PODS: Powerslide Design Co. (The Graphic Arts of Mike Klay)
“Having done posters for theatre productions in school and having an overwhelming passion for music, it was inevitable that one day the fusion of design and music would become a reality. Using the outdoors and the Pacific Northwest as a backdrop for inspiration, Klay’s spacious, vector-drawn poster designs manage to stay gritty and human with textures and rough patterns,” writes Corianton Hale, Art Director, The Stranger Newspaper. Mike also manages to print all of his own work and has made posters for Seattle venues such as The Showbox, Neumos, Chop Suey, The Crocodile Café, Graceland, The Gorge and The Premier.

People
of Peoples Gallery show
Since opening in November 2010, Peoples Art of Portland Gallery has shown over 1000 local and national artists. The Gallery itself was a vacant toy store when the Peoples crew took over, using the remaining architectural structure as a backdrop for art instead of toys. Being inside of an actual mall, this gallery is a welcome place amongst high- end retailers and consistent retail fare. The gallery has always operated as a place for artists, run by artists, volunteers and a duo- curatorial team of artists Chris Haberman and Jason Brown, with manager (and artist) Heidi Elise-Wirz.
For our 15th consecutive exhibition, we wanted to celebrate this notion, in essence to celebrate the volunteer artists and staff that make this gallery what it is. This show exemplifies our connection to the community and how the gallery works: artists showing artists, working together.
