Project Grow presents Bruce Conkle: Who the Hell is Piet Mondrian?

Opening: Friday, February 4th, 7pm – 10pm

The Gallery will exhibit Conkle’s past and recent illustrations and installations, many viewed together for the first time.

Bruce’s work often deals with escapism, artificial worlds, and man’s place within nature, and frequently examines what he calls the “misfit quotient” at the crossroads. Whimsical, absurdist, and deeply symbolic, his work often uses art and humor to address contemporary attitudes toward nature and environmental concerns.

His work has shown all over the world, including Reykjavik, Rio De Janeiro, New York, Miami, and Portland. Recent projects include public art commissions for TriMet/ MAX Light Rail and PSU’s Smith Memorial Student Union Public Art + Residency. In 2010 Bruce received an Oregon Arts Commission Artist Fellowship and a project grant from the Regional Arts and Culture Council.
