Artist Updates: M.J. Anderson, Dory Goode, Cleo Wilkinson, Eunice Kim
New Sculpture by MJ Anderson Installed at the Justice Building, Salem OR.
Commissioned through Oregon’s Percent for Art in Public Places Program, To Scale the Scales of Justice references figurative classics of art history, while presenting the artist’s contemporary interpretation of the symbols of protection and balance practiced within the walls of this Justice Building.
To scale the scale of Justice:
Seek balance & dialogue,
Hold fast patience & perseverance,
Work for truth & fairness,
Honor safety & community.
Anderson says, “As much as stone is a material that is ‘real,’ I see my sculpture as a presentation of ideas -rather than a physical object of something that resembles a figure. Ideas are living things and deeply personal. Ideas change and evolve. Ideas can be shared and can become stronger than stone. I hope to create work where the ideas of others come into play. Only then will my work have longevity and meaning.”

Goode, 'Paintings I Wrote on in 2009 #18,' 2010, painting mixed media on panel, 30 x 30''
In “Paintings I wrote on in 2009,” Dorothy Goode introduces a new element to her visual vocabulary: graphite scrawls that spell out formal messages both cryptic and self-revelatory. The texts, for the most part, are obscured behind layers of impasto, lending the works an electric tension between expression and concealment. As she has in previous bodies of work, Goode favors a palette of bold reds, blues, oranges, and greens, which pop against the panels’ white grounds. Her curvilinear gestures, vaguely biomorphic, cluster in the center of each composition, as if tugged by centripetal force. Continue reading at visualartsource.com…
Her exhibition at at Butters Gallery in Portland continues through May 29, 2010.
