Oregon Governor’s Office

Moving On — See Roseburg born, Portland artist G. Lewis Clevenger’s exhibition “Moving On.” Clevenger paints abstract compositions with bold colors and overlapping softly geometric forms. To him, painting each piece is a give-and-take process that takes time: “The paintings develop as I ‘push’ the mark making and the canvas pushes back in response. The colors and composition shift and settle in as the painting progresses. My paintings develop and change daily.” The final works both reveal and hide these storied layers, inviting the viewer’s eye to return to the lines and colors, again and again, searching for a meaning that is just out of reach.
When: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, through July 25
Where: Governor’s Office, Oregon State Capitol, 900 Court St. NE, Rm. 250
