Hiberts!

New Work by The Hiberts! June 1st (First Friday), 6-9pm

Watch this!

The Hiberts are an awesome family.

Snaggs, her husband Arbito, his two cousins Oliver and Spencer, gallons of fresh paint and yards of fuzzy felt are coming to Portland, OR to remind us to jump start our imaginations.
Their work is a shining example of west coast psychedelic art. The vivid colors and icons used often resemble work created during the golden 1960s American revolution.
The Hibert family style rounds the edges and cranks the volume up on icons such as hippies, monsters, bell bottoms, totem poles, long hair, flowers and everything typically West Coast that can been shown in a cute and fuzzy light.
Although Arbito, Snaggs, Oliver and Spencer have earned established gallery reputations, they have never shown together in Portland. The simple fact that they are all flying to be here at their Grass Hut opening tells us something about their passion for Portland's art scene.
How passionate are you?

Super! Cool!

Snaggs



Snaggs is a local Seattle textile artist. You can usually find her dwelling in her basement, sewing up a storm; surrounded by heaps of vibrant, rainbow colored, fuzzy felt. When she’s not doing art work, she focuses the rest of her creative energy into outbidding people on ebay, posting paparazzi photos on flickr, and gaining endless inspiration from her artist husband, arbito.

The Drifters

Hippies are drifters, bikers are drifters, migratory birds are drifters, hobos are drifters, jelly fish are drifters, rain clouds are drifters and even words are drifters. Can art drift? Is drifting a style? Yes. Drifters live in the moment, they create from pure instinct without hidden agendas or pretension and if they have a message it's simply "let go".

Bios:

Dawn Riddle-Lives in San Francisco, but is know through out Portland from the band Sour Grapes and just being a sweet person who like to ride bikes and share cookies and coffee with friends. Her last art show in Portland was at Half & Half, every piece was spoken for before the show opened. Dawn works with paint, thread, construction paper and whatever it takes to honestly and clearly speak of how humans can swim with sharks, whales and other creature from the deep. The secret is to drift with them.

Matthew Feyld-(aka Driftwould) Is Canadian working out of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (home of Olympia brewing). Driftwould's work is world-renowned due to his pleasant web presents on Flickr and train murals. He uses pen, paper, watercolor, and acrylics to create "a world where both human, and animal share more than just their boots." Driftwould's use of posturing and icons reminds us that we all want to be simple again, we want to live in this moment.

The Reverend Benny Bob- Lives in a small cabin above the Siletz River near Kernville, Oregon. The Reverend cuts his own firewood, and eats clams, guts and all if he has to, when he isn't hiking streams following salmon for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. In his humble cabin he has mastered ceramics, wood, ink, graphite, sewing and painting. Once a month The Reverend drives his beat-up truck to Portland to show his artwork to folks on the sidewalks in the big city. His life and work are solid representations of content budda-like action.

New work by Meg Hunt, Miniature Mouse and Naomi Nowak

Opens April 6th, 6-9pm (First Friday)
Grass Hut Gallery
811 e. Burnside
Portland, OR 97214









Meg Hunt lived by the ocean for a while, and then picked everything up to live in the hot desert. Her love of messes led her to printmaking, and she finds her inspired by old pieces of machinery, monster legends, outsider culture, pop influences, music, and many other random things. These inspirations spill out into strange worlds where monsters comingle with vagrants, bad habits become badges of courage, pretenders find friends, and generally just a lot of weirdness takes place.

Miniature Mouse (Fumi Nakamura)
Born in December, 1984. Grew up half of her life in Shimizu, Shizuoka, Japan. Other half in Bay Area, California, US. Now living in South Bay and making art.
A little mouse from tiny world.

Naomi Nowak is a painter and comic artist, born in Stockholm. She likes to paint beautiful things and people but strives to get underlying emotions and thoughts across as well. So far she's been in several group shows and had her first graphic novel, Unholy Kinship, published in the US. The next one is coming up this year.

These buns are made of burger.

Well,
it looks like Le Merde has outdone themselves once again. Le Merde hand-crafted toys are full of pure joy and this time techno-colored brains. Grass Hut is the only place in town, where you can find these lovely BurgerBuns, so hustle your tooshy down here.

Todays studio painting session was messed up by a world of green. Apak and Billy Galaxy say "green is the new gold". Portland's mosses are in full bloom right now. It's Eco-Groovy!

Happy St. Patties Day!!!

bakoba volcano sunset

Last week two gigantic boxes from japan showed up at the hut. The boxes were full of crazy yellow polka-dotted dino eggs. From these eggs little squeeky bakoba toys hatch. These toys are the lastest in the Bwana Spoons/Gargamel collaborations. The little bakobas are based on some crazy vintage toy mold and the color schizm was invented by Bwana. We have 3 different color schizmz that look even better with spring sunlight beaming through them.
$40 each.

Artists Receptions March 1st and 2nd, 6-9pm



From the North a nakedness leaked out. It was a naked sound full of sincerity, improvised creation and an untamed passion for every passing breath. Here in the North you can seldom tell if it rained or stormed during the night unless a tree fell or some mountain crumbled over a road. It's always wet and naked here. This naked sound is like thunder, easy to hear and feel, but impossible to see or hold in your hands.
There is a camp of musicians who have opened many ears up to this naked sound, this thunder. These musicians are honestly trying to express their love for life without limits. However, making music is only one of the many ways they express thunder. These folks take the sound further with constructed environments, animation, silk screening, posters, photography, paint, collage and unexpected mixed media.
Dismissed as music makers their work is seldom recognized by the arts community. Retarding isn't it? So for the month of March these folks are going to have an art show at Grass Hut. Come see what happens.
