Public art and murals add an imaginative dimension to the daily humdrum of city life — a cause public art project Forest For The Trees is championing in Portland at Hellion Gallery. The gallery is currently hosting a two-week pop-up fundraiser show for FFTT, which is gearing up for a mural series in late August featuring the likes of Blaine Fontana, DAL, Faith47, Know Hope, Mary Iverson and many other international and Portland-based artists. The current group show at Hellion Gallery features works from a small selection of artworks from some of the participants: an assemblage by Fontana, psychedelic paintings by Brendan Monroe, a landscape collage by Mary Iverson and more. The exhibition is on view through May 30. Stay tuned for news about the Forest For The Trees mural series later this summer.

Gil Bruvel’s work seems to be both modern and craft movement inspired at the same time. They are made of hundreds of parts; intricate, yet, when those parts are viewed from a distance, are smooth and cohesive. We’ve asked the artist to delve into his process and themes and a bit of his background as an artist. Click the image above to read our Hi-Fructose exclusive with the artist
