This sweeping painting elongates the limbs of its subjects' raised fists, so they appear mountainous, triangular, and dynamic. The bottom and middle of the frame is crowded with individuals of this form, creating the sensation that a group is on the verge of riot. In the top left, a man in black garb leans forward, stretching his body across the top of the piece, pointing his finger. Deep, dark colors, including shades of brown, black, red, green, and one sharp flash of blue, dominate this piece.

Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle

Seattle Art Museum 1300 1st Ave, Seattle

Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle questions the stories we’ve been told by amplifying narratives that have been systematically overlooked from America’s history. This exhibition reunites Lawrence’s revolutionary 30-panel series Struggle: From the History of the American People (1954–56) for the first time since 1958.

A square, black and white photograph of a boy's face with another square of red centered over it, all atop an aluminum screen painted red, against a red background.

Paul Lee: Tambourine Heart

Adams and Ollman 418 NW 8th Avenue, Portland

Characterized by a palpable presence of the hand, the artist’s ongoing formal experimentation and investigation of materiality returns to the same functional objects rendered into reliquary.

Free
Colorful collage made of cut paper, using curved lines and circular, two-dimensional, geometric shapes to invigorate a stripped, layered, cacophonous sense of motion and sound. Bright yellows, cool blacks, and subtle accents of red and blue enwrap this piece in boldness and warmth.

Along These Lines

Alberta Abbey 126 NE Alberta St, Portland

Each featured artist brings their unique perspective to the history of the line and, along these lines, adds to it. 

Free
This collage of photograph, pop-culture imagery, and Chinese Communist Party propaganda delights the eye, confusing dimension, location, and direction, at the same time that it immerses the mind in a play of theme—one is never sure whether to laugh, ponder, or wonder.

Yuyang Zhang: umm no

Fuller Rosen Gallery 1928 NW Lovejoy St., Portland

Zhang’s collage work combines original photographs, recognizable Western pop culture imagery, and Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

Free
Installation view, with three paintings hanging on a white wall, each of them featuring horizontal lines of varying colors that stack atop each other as in a rainbow or a sunset; then four sculptures sitting atop a table before the paintings—each bold shapes of blue and one of white.

Paula Brunner Abelow & Renée Gertler

Et Al Gallery 2831 Mission St, San Francisco

Made fifty years apart, there was a ring to the pairing that we could all agree with.
Sometimes it’s as easy as that.

In a dazzling dance of wings, beak, body, and color, four corvids are stretched across a neutral cream sky, around a deep blue moon and encircling a yawning red void—the stripped and mythological depiction recalls superstitious themes of spirit, power, and story.

Clare Rojas: Here We Go

Jessica Silverman Gallery San Francisco

The acrylic-on-panel work bears witness to Rojas’s superstitious Peruvian heritage.

Free
In a haze of black and and white stripes, the shape of a hat or a head or a cloud floats lazily to the surface—meanwhile, a hallucinogenic effect takes over the gaze.

Jeremy Le Grand: We Gathered

Carnation Contemporary 8371 N Interstate Ave, Portland

The patterns repeat, stack and diffuse, iterate and mirror and mimic.
