Blue Sky Gallery: Laurie Lambrecht Photographs

As they worked together, the two artists grew close over this period of time as Lambrecht's photographic project became a collaborative one. Lambrecht's vivid color images in the series "From the Studio of Roy Lichtenstein" give us a rare glimpse into the working studio of one of the twentieth-century's most iconic artists. She reveals Lichtenstein's objects of inspiration and creation: colored pencils, newspaper clippings, lists of onomatopoeias (including "whump" and "pow"), ladders, levels, and of course scores of his signature Ben-Day dots. And, perhaps most delightfully, we find the artist himself in Lambrecht's work, seemingly poised in his own compositions, actually atop a ladder making final touches to his paintings.

Runs through August 1, 2010 at Blue Sky Gallery, 122 NW 8th Avenue, Portland.
