ARTIST NAME
Christopher Mooney
WHAT TO EXPECT
BRIDGES!
Christopher Mooney paints urban landscapes filled with all the moods of city life. His large oils on canvas are often based on views of the many bridges of Portland and other cities. Mooney's compositions of bridges are anything but run-of-the-mill. He paints them from an unusual vantage, giving them dramatic perspective which makes them both realistic and abstract. Light plays an important role in his paintings, illuminating the structure of the bridges, casting shadows and making the viewer aware of the visual dynamics of the scene.
Portland is a city of rivers and bridges: Mooney's fascination is with how the geometric shapes of the bridge's steel girders frame the landscape of the city.
