Fontanelle Gallery presents Big Beautiful Color, an exhibition featuring interactive installation, painting, and sculpture
by Portland artist Mark Warren Jacques.
"Mark Warren Jacques lives within a web of art makers, musicians, skateboarders, and backyard revolutionaries.
This close-knit community thrives on representing a sort of whimsy that harnesses the energy of idealism and is
rooted in earthy spirituality. Lest you conclude that he lives in a world of naïvete, Jacques will surprise you with his
gusto to love, question, and commit himself to the realities of hard work, ambition, and responsibility to his community.
For his exhibition Big Beautiful Color, Jacques will construct an interactive large-scale teepee of cast-off slatboard set
atop a colorful platform and against a backdrop of multi-hued streamers. Visitors to the exhibition will be invited to enter
the teepee where atmospheric psych jams, recorded by his housemate Blake Anthony Ray Miller, will filter from tape deck
to a vintage Alamo amplifier. Within these walls, there is a smooth transition between the bustle of the downtown streets
and a more transcendent space where one can leave their cares behind and enter a world of inspired meditation."
