Anne Appleby: Willamette Week

Anne Appleby: Woods
Visual Arts
RICHARD SPEER

Among the highlights of the Portland Art Museum’s Contemporary Northwest Art Awards are the coolly minimalist paintings of Anne Appleby. At first, these works appear monochromatic color fields, but on closer examination they betray subtle layering and variations in hue. Appleby lives in Montana. The show at PDX is her first solo exhibition in Portland. It will be interesting to see whether her work in the gallery is as quietly compelling as her work currently up at the museum. Through Dec. 28.
