Anna Fidler: Vampires and Wolf Men

Anna Fidler seductively re-imagines Oregon history in a terrific new show called Vampires and Wolf Men. What if the state’s founding fathers and mothers were actually vampires and werewolves à la Twilight and True Blood? Using sepia-tinted antique portraits as her source material, the artist has turned diminutive photos into large-scale, psychedelic-colored fantasias, full of woozy washes, intricate outlining and lots of beady, weirdly glowing eyes. The pieces are virtuosic and, apropos of the show’s fanciful conceit, more than a little unnerving. Through Sept. 29.
