"TWO BLONDES AND A RED HEAD"
by Blaine Fontana
Since 2013, PDX artist and curator @Gage_Gage_Gage Hamilton has partnered with "Forest For The Trees" producer Tia Vanich, "pulling Portlanders away from their daily routines" to see the city as a literal canvas for the art of today. In 2017 @FFTTNW expanded their urban canvas into nearby Beaverton and Blaine Fontana added this work behind @MoChaTeaHouse on Farmington Rd. A "distinguished alumni" recipient from Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, Fontana runs a successful art and design studio in Portland but still makes time amid his many other commitments, to make art. Exploring the roles of signs and images in contemporary visual culture Fontana says his work "straddles the physical and metaphysical, organic and architectural, and painterly and graphic sensibilities." @blainefontana/
