New RSG Artists: Introducing Jesse Reno

For me painting is – finding treasure – what it is – what it means – if you know what you are looking for you will find it – burying something in the ground and digging it up doesn’t make it treasure – the best treasure is unknown – it is true – it is a lesson – this gold is like the sun – not a simple coin for sale – this is a story you truly don’t know – you write it from feeling rather than knowing – you understand it like joy and despair – not like math – as there is no equivalent. The chaos of volcanoes, the collapse of an avalanche, the weight of an anchor. The idea of buoyancy over balance. Some locks do not open with keys. This is a world where candy canes grow at the tops of mountains.

Freedom comes from belief and choice, and all things are connected.

The Rental Sales Gallery, Portland Art Museum recognizes and honors the Indigenous peoples of this region on whose ancestral lands the museum now stands.

These include the Willamette Tumwater, Clackamas, Kathlemet, Molalla, Multnomah and Watlala Chinook Peoples and the Tualatin Kalapuya who today are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, and many other Native communities who made their homes along the Columbia River.

We also want to recognize that Portland today is a community of many diverse Native peoples who continue to live and work here. We respectfully acknowledge and honor all Indigenous communities - past, present, future - and are grateful for their ongoing and vibrant presence.
