CENTRAL Gallery
The Art of Hampton Rodríguez
April 5-May 28, 2022
Artist Reception: April 15, 5-7pm
Growing up in the Dominican Republic, Rodríguez was profoundly influenced by the intellectual pursuits of the contemporary abstract art movement in his country. After exhibiting his work in Spain and Belgium, he arrived in Oregon in March of 2002. Since then, he has become a different artist.
The focus of his work shifted to capture the idiosyncratic culture of Portland’s diverse neighborhoods; the cadence of people’s lives here, the scenes of cultural clashes, Urban vs. Rural. And the development of images that tap into shared concepts and feelings.
