Bucks artist Emily Thompson exhibits in Oregon gallery

Antler Gallery in Portland, Ore., presents a solo exhibition of Emily Thompson’s paintings, featuring her architectural-themed work.
For this exhibit she focused on urban structures, abandoned buildings and vintage signage that is now gone. Thompson creates intimate gestures that are drawn from large scale subject matter. She is attracted to the remnants of a nostalgic past and sees the underlying poetry and drama in the ordinary and every day.
Thompson attended the High School of Art & Design and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is a nationally recognized, award-winning artist.

Through her painting, she documents the ordinary, the everyday, the disappearing, the nostalgic, the abandoned and the identity of the American landscape. Inspiration comes from urban and industrial scenery, roadside and rural locations, and vintage signage and typography.
Her work is part of private collections throughout the United States and has been exhibited at the Woodmere Museum in Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Sketch Club, The Trenton City Museum, The Monmouth Museum and the John F. Peto Museum in New Jersey, as well as galleries in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and California.
Antler Gallery is located in the Alberta Arts District of Portland. The exhibit opens Thursday, Feb. 24.
