supersonicart: Brian Donnelly’s “Nothing Lasts Forever” at Stephanie Chefas Projects.Opening this Friday, May 6th at Stephanie Chefas Projects in Portland, Oregon is Brian Donnelly’s solo exhibition “Nothing Lasts Forever.”Donnelly has intricately explored ideas of loss, memory and abstraction throughout his career as an artist. “Nothing Lasts Forever” continues his search within the subjects. “I approach portraiture as a mark of our decidedly ephemeral nature as living beings,” says Donnelly. “In the tradition of portraiture the sitter makes contact with the eternal, their likeness carried across generations. My portraits contradict that tradition. Like memories, these paintings are unreliable: portraits of their own loss rather than permanent effigies.”“Nothing Lasts Forever” will be on display until June 4th, 2016. -- source link
