“PDX Across the Hall” will exhibit new watercolors by Nick Blosser, the recipient of two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships and the prestigious American Academy Rome prize. With these recent paintings, Blosser delves deeper into the process of seeing and recording nature, with an effort to look within, beneath or beyond what is actually seen.

Charles Burchfield is an important influence in Nick Blosser’s way of seeing in painting. This connection is particularly evident in Blosser’s latest show. The 20th century master and depictor of “Magical Nature”, is enjoying a retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, a show curated by artist Robert Gober.
