PAINTINGS: OILS, ACRYLICS AND OIL PASTELS Althea Amand is from Michigan where she studied architecture at the University of Michigan, and later obtained a Master's degree in English Literature from San Francisco State University. She has been painting for more than fifteen years, and has studied and exhibited at the Art Students League in New York City. She has also lived, worked and exhibited her paintings in San Francisco. She has lived in Portland since 2008. Her work is generated primarily from her imagination, rarely using models or depending on specific scenes or incidents for her subjects. Although they work on their own as well composed and colored painted forms, groups of figures with titles like Five Men, Five More Men, Argument, Men Eating, or Cafe invite the viewer to construct his own personal narrative about the very human personages, some looking violent, some depressed, some perfectly composed and at ease. She works in oils or acrylics on canvas, and in oil pastels on paper. We take great pleasure in exhibiting a selection of her work through the end of April. Works in the show, with their prices are: OIL PAINTINGS Street Scene - 24x18 inches - $400.00 Men Eating 16x20 inches - SOLD Cafe - 16x12 inches - $225.00 Man With Bottle - 12x24 inches - $300.00 ACRYLICS Five Men - 24x36 inches - $500.00 Five More Men - 24x18 inches - $350.00 Two Cats - 20x16 inches - $350.00 PASTELS Argument - 18x24 inches - $250.00 Men - 18x24 inches - $250.00 Emotion - 18x24 inches - $250.00 15.
