| Kris Hargis’ self-portraiture is firmly within the art historical canon. The search for self, the mourning of loss and the focus on simplicity permeate all of his artwork. Line begets color begets form in his expressive, gestural style of drawing and painting. Examination of self can be a vexing journey, but Hargis treads lightly and discovers much on the way. His work was recently included in
drawing(s) 40+ artists/200 works: A 25th anniversary exhibition at the Art Gym, Marylhurst University, Marylhurst, OR. |
