Opening Night: “In the Process” Sketchbook Show at Hellion Gallery

Many of the artists currently exhibiting in "In the Process" at Hellion Gallery in Portland are process-oriented rather than driven by goals. Founder and owner Matt Wagner and guest curator Monica Choy put together a group of artists, both international and domestic, underground and well-known, and gave them sketchbooks. Using the returned books, a show was created that allows a glimpse into the creative process as well as artworks in their raw state. Some of the exhibiting artists include Souther Salazar, Stella Im Hultberg (Hi-Fructose Collected 3), Edwin Ushiro, Keita Morimoto, Fumi Nakamura, Rachell Sumpter and more. The show opened May 2, and runs through June 1 at Hellion Gallery. Take a look at some artwork and opening night photos after the jump!
