During May, Grey Raven Gallery is proud to present “Out and About in Oregon,” a vibrant new collection of paintings by acclaimed Northwest artist Erik Sandgren. This thoughtfully curated exhibition celebrates Oregon’s rich landscapes, rural charm, and the ever-changing moods of nature, all filtered through Erik’s rich perspective.
Oregon Artist Showcases New Artwork
Erik Sandgren is well-known throughout the Pacific Northwest for his evocative depictions of forests, the coastline, farmlands and iconic outbuildings that reflect the character of Oregon’s diverse terrain. With a career spanning decades, Sandgren’s art has been showcased in prestigious galleries and museums, including a recent feature at the Maryhill Museum of Art.
“Out and About in Oregon” builds on the themes introduced in that earlier show, but this new exhibition presented by Grey Raven Gallery features original pieces. The paintings reflect Erik’s continued exploration of his deep connection to Oregon’s landscapes and the stories embedded in its farms, barns, rivers, trees and skies. Each painting tells a story, capturing fleeting moments of light, shadow and atmosphere.
Throughout his career, Sandgren has combined traditional and contemporary techniques, bringing a sense of timelessness to his work. His bold brushwork, expressive color palette and keen understanding of composition allows his paintings to resonate on both emotional and aesthetic levels.
To celebrate the opening of this special exhibition, Grey Raven Gallery invites the community to a special event on the first Friday of May. This evening offers a wonderful opportunity to see the exhibition in person. Visitors can enjoy the collection, surrounded by others who share a love of art and the Oregon landscape. It’s a perfect chance for both seasoned collectors and new art lovers to discover the work of one of Oregon’s most respected artists.
