About the Exhibition
Through layered compositions, Philip Stork aims to suggest a sense of movement through space and time, which inspired the title of his exhibition Landscapes Reimagined. Although the images emerge from his imagination, they are greatly influenced by colors and landscapes he has encountered while traveling.
Stork works with pastels and pencil to explore abstract landscapes and expansive color fields. He often draws lines into the surface to create structure—an underlying framework that both supports and contrasts with the openness of the color. Pastels allow him to create subtle hues without constraints as he builds nuanced, shifting hues without being bound to specific figures or literal forms.

About the Artist
Philip Stork developed his artistic style as a cartoonist for the Harvard Lampoon, and then as an animator for Hanna-Barbera and other animation houses in Studio City, California. The drawn line that defined his early work continues to this day. His scientific career, centered at the Vollum Institute at OHSU in Portland, OR, has inspired abstracted images of cells and biological structures captured in pencil or pastel that have been featured on the covers of scientific journals, monographs, and textbooks. Now a full time artist, Stork creates abstract landscapes, both real and imagined, using pastels and pencil on paper. His work has been shown nationally, and he is currently represented by Blackfish Gallery.
