Anaphora is an exhibition of new and selected paintings by Corey S. Pressman exploring recurrence, perception, and the numinous dimensions of attention. Installed within the quiet beauty of the repurposed chapel space at ArtReach Gallery at First Congregational Church — directly across from the Portland Art Museum — the exhibition invites viewers into a contemplative atmosphere of layered color, radiant surfaces, and quiet mystery.
Created with mineral pigments and handmade beeswax varnishes, Pressman’s paintings shimmer between abstraction and revelation, offering an experience grounded in beauty, presence, and reflection.
