​​Bridges of Portland: Paintings by Christopher B. Mooney
At the Architectural Heritage Center
701 SE Grand Avenue
Portland, OR 97214

December 2 through February 1
First Friday Reception, December 2, 4-8 pm

Christopher Mooney’s representational work portraying the urban landmarks and bridges of Portland has been shown in several galleries and is owned by both private and corporate collectors in the area. His deep understanding of engineering informs his interpretations of what he calls “transportation architecture.” Mooney has worked with a variety of engineers and engineering projects to understand the bridges, his subjects, from a unique perspective – such as a record of the construction of the Milwaukie Light Rail Bridge, and maintenance of the Hawthorne Bridge for its Centennial Celebration. “Portland is a city of rivers and bridges.” says Mooney, “And their existence has been always, now and historically, critical to its character and its function. People cross bridges every day, yet many may not realize how little we celebrate the wonderful achievements of their engineering.”
