Portland-based artist Morgan Curtis paints at the intersection of dream and recollection—works that are playful, unsettling, and alive with the logic of the subconscious. Using oil and acrylic in luminous pastels and experimental scales, he constructs cinematic brainscapes where figure and ground collide, forming hallucinatory riddles that feel both comic and uncanny. Each painting unfolds through improvisation and revision, guided as much by chance as intention. Curtis invites viewers into shifting worlds where meaning stays fluid and discovery never ends. His paintings are open-eyed dreams—dialogues between the familiar and the strange, urging us not to decode but to wander, to meet the unexpected both on the canvas and within ourselves.
