Lisa Congdon's "The Opposite of Sorrow."

Currently on view at Stephanie Chefas Projects in Portland, Oregon until February 11th, 2023 is artist Lisa Congdon's solo exhibition, "The Opposite of Sorrow."

Entirely created in 2022, the work reflects Congdon's striking visual language of radiant color, graphic pattern, and folk art influence. Symbols of growth, connectedness, flow, and adventure cultivate an insightful parallel to the artist's own journey and her perennial interaction with these very same themes.

Folk Art and Bold Geometric Shapes Flourish in Lisa Congdon’s Joyful Paintings A sense of lively optimism permeates Lisa Congdon’s work. Through vibrant palettes of yellows, pinks, and blues, the Portland-based artist pairs bold geometries with folk art symbols, rendering abstract compositions or minimal scenes that capture a joyful outlook. Her acrylic paintings are on view now at Chefas Projects as part of The Opposite of Sorrow, a solo show that considers what it means to be positive.  “One cannot know joy without also knowing darkness,” Congdon says, sharing that her practice originated as an antidote to depression.

Support For Ewe's Big Move

Hey everyone,

My local yarn shop from college is getting ready to move to a bigger, better, more inclusive space and needs some help securing the funds ahead of time to make the move actually happen. For Ewe is a wonderful space run by one of the kindest people I've had the pleasure of meeting, and is always looking for ways to give back to the larger community. Lisa (the owner) is Black musician who continually supports BIPOC and queer indie dyers in her shop, as well as the broke college kids who frequent it without even necessarily buying anything. I know money is tight for many and there are a lot of gofundmes going around for more dire causes, but if you have the ability I highly encourage you to help her out. Thank you.
