Local Artist Joe Ryckebosch at SCRAP’s Re:Vision Gallery

Joe Ryckebosch: New Formations Over Old Horizons
January 10 – February 25th
Opening Reception at SCRAP, January 13th, 5-7pm

Re:Vision Gallery is pleased to present the mixed media collage work of Portland-based artist Joe Ryckebosch. Utilizing vintage design tape in bright colors, Ryckebosch superimposes geometric patterns over found images. The printed images that inspire Ryckebosch’s work result from myriad forays into thrift stores, scrap yards, re-use centers and back alleys. By reclaiming and re-forming, Ryckebosch has enlivened cultural ephemera on the verge of being forgotten, safely resurrecting them from the shadows back into the light of attention. The applied colored tape is the artist’s tool for re-interpreting the original subject of these once-discarded images. The color and patterns that emerge may have always been there, but have never been noticed until emphasized through the fresh perspective of these works. The juxtaposition of form and color provides a subtle and contemplative commentary on the ways humans see pattern in the natural world.
