Shaping Visions
Work by Craig S. Holmes & Maude I. Kerns
Opening Reception: Friday, Jan. 13, 6-8pm
Exhibit Dates: January 13-February 10
Discussion: Saturday, Jan. 28, 2-4pm
The Maude Kerns Art Center presents its first exhibit of 2012, “Shaping Visions:
Work by Craig S. Holmes and Maude I. Kerns,” featuring the work of Portland
artist Craig S. Holmes and work by the Center’s namesake, Maude I. Kerns (1876
– 1965). “Shaping Visions” opens with a public reception from 6 - 8 pm on Friday,
January 13, and is on view through February 10. The Title Sponsor of this exhibit
is TBG Architects + Planners.
Holmes is inspired by the energy of architecture and all its elements
–plan, elevation, section, and perspective. In his elegant architectural
illustrations and mixed media works, he seeks to express the simple
beauty and balance in the complexity of what he calls the “structured
chaos of modernism.” His hope is to “picture a possibility others
have not considered, to impact the mental landscape.”
“Shaping Visions” also includes selected work by Maude I. Kerns, a visionary artist and educator,
the first head of the Art Education Department at the University of Oregon, and an internationally
recognized artist in the Non-Objective Art Movement. Most of the pieces displayed in the exhibit are
from the collection of the late Leslie Brockelbank, the great-niece of Kerns, in addition to a number
of works from the Art Center’s own collection. Kerns’ paintings are held in the permanent collections
of numerous museums, including the Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York City, the Seattle Art Museum,
Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art (Utah State University), and the Portland Art Museum, as well as
in the collection of Microsoft Corporation and many private collections.
