Join us for a special holiday celebration on Saturday, December 13th, 6-8:30pm at Tinlark.  We'll have holiday treats and crafts for the kids from 6-7pm. 

We proudly welcome Bryan Ricci for his debut solo show at Tinlark, Video Made The Wilderness Star. Ricci's work synthesizes a traditional medium of artistic expression (oil paint) with a technique that mimics the more modern pixelized images we see everyday on the internet and in other mass media. Ricci photographs landscapes with his digital camera, then, onto the photo, hand-pixelates an animal that fits the scene, either realistically or ironically, creating a specific narrative for each vignette. Ricci received his B.F.A. from Purchase College of Art & Design, SUNY, and has had numerous solo and group shows in Los Angeles. 

Natural Selection marks the return of Portland's Wesley Younie and Ryan Berkley, expanding on their themes of natural versus manmade in fantasy lands of their own making. Younie spent his youth exploring the forests surrounding his Oregon home, sketching the wildlife and developing a deep connection to the unspoiled landscapes. During his studies at Calfornia College of the Arts and the Pacific Northwest College of Art, Younie perfected his whimsical technique that captures the personality of each creature he portrays. When not completing commissions for clients ranging from hotels and restaurants to private collectors, Younie brings his painting talents to the Portland Zoo where he helps create naturalistic habitats for the animals.  

Also from Portland, Ryan Berkley is an illustrator with an enthusiastic following. His portraits of animals wearing fancy dress specific to their personalities have entered hundreds of collections in the U.S. and abroad.  Berkley is a comics inspired gentleman who loves drawing animals and creatures and mustaches and
superheroes.
