Alaina Dias Lara is a visionary painter who explores the inner layers of human emotions and subliminal symbolism. Her work reflects the encounters and movement of her childhood, from her rich sense of color to the emotions hidden beneath. Her work in Liminal Suspension is more reflective of capturing what lies beneath the surface and our relationship with the world versus the importance of mirroring a likeness.

Alaina Dias Lara holds a MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College in Vermont and a BFA in painting from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland. Originally from Northern California, Alaina lives and works in Portland, OR.

Tyler Stuart is a local artist whose work examines the corporeal and metaphysical relationship between the mind, materials, and environment. Through poetic and meditative compositions, he incorporates familiar materials such as wood, metal, and stone to reveal the tension between what is observed and what is presumed. In Liminal Suspension Tyler will select particular materials to activate the object, moment, and space revealing strengths and weaknesses of both the surface and interior.

Tyler Stuart received his MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland and a BFA in Painting from University of Oregon in Eugene. Tyler proudly works and lives in Portland.

Gallery 114 is the only established gallery in Portland that has persisted in allowing its artists absolute artistic freedom throughout its 20-year history. Founded in 1990 as an artist collective, Gallery 114 and its members have consistently produced a diversity of artwork.
