SUMMARY:Jeff Beers: Paper & Raincoat
DESCRIPTION:New Room Studios is proud to present this Portland debut show by the Genius Artist Fellow and matter painter Jeff Beers. \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, November 12\, 5-8 pm\nGALLERY HOURS: Thursdays and Fridays\, 5-8 pm\, and Saturdays\, 12-8 pm\nON VIEW: November 12-21 (open Thu-Sat) \nHOSTED BY: The Salmonberry Trail Foundation\n233 SW Naito #100\, Portland \n  \nABOUT THE EXHIBITION: \n“Paper & Raincoat” are the two main ingredients of a new series that unfolds like a myth cycle of life and death. Beers painstakingly made it out of scraps of thin sheets of paper that he’s aged for 30 years\, and surplus raincoat material from Columbia Sportswear. (Beers got the latter from the local nonprofit SCRAP Creative Reuse.) After 16 months of meticulous work\, these two simple ingredients have found cosmic depths in this series of 8 pieces. \nThe show also includes a series of Beers’ earlier\, more earthy and elemental works. These pieces use tars\, paints\, emulsions and waxes to explore simultaneously the microcosms and macrocosms of the materials. \nRarely able to afford art supplies\, Beers learned at an early age how to make his own. He still makes his own paints and emulsions\, and his subject matter is often the materials that he’s foraged from the built environment and from the natural environment. He works with the materials until he learns their languages and how they want to see\, and much of his art is in the discipline of letting them speak through him. \nBeers was awarded a 2025-2026 Genius Artist Fellowship by New Room Studios. This program recognizes and supports artists who have a history of making excellent work over the years\, despite significant barriers. As part of his Fellowship\, New Room Studios is producing this show. \nThis show is hosted by The Salmonberry Trail Foundation\, which is dedicated to building an 82-mile trail for hiking and biking from Banks to the Oregon Coast. “Jeff Beers: Paper & Raincoat” will take over their spacious and historic office in downtown Portland in November. \n  \n\n  \n \nClick here to see a new 7-minute film by Adolfo Cantú Villareal about Beers and his new series of work\, or watch above. \n  \n\n  \n \nJeff Beers\, NRS Genius Artists and Matter Painter \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, November 12\, 5-8 pm\nGALLERY HOURS: Thursdays and Fridays\, 5-8 pm\, and Saturdays\, 12-8 pm\nON VIEW: November 12-21 (open Thu-Sat) \nHOSTED BY: The Salmonberry Trail Foundation\n233 SW Naito Pkwy #100\, Portland\, OR 97204
