Just because you feel it doesn’t mean it’s there

Featuring Ryan Birkland and p:ear youth artists

The p:ear Gallery is thrilled to present “Just because you feel it doesn’t mean it’s there”, a stunning collection of work by Ryan Birkland and p:ear youth. As one of p:ear’s longest standing champions in the Portland art community, Ryan is returning to the p:ear Gallery to bring a brand new collection of work. Utilizing salvaged windows for canvases, Ryan has generated a brilliant color palette that builds movement and a kind of three-dimensional abstract expressionist painting style.
