There’s a good chance you have already encountered Pierce Scantlin’s work and not even known it. If you’re one of the over 170 million Americans with a passport, you have likely seen his design work as you flipped through the pages of stamps. Or perhaps you’ve seen his animations on the Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. Despite a wide-reaching and varied career, painting is the artform closest to his heart.

Through Jan. 16, Scantlin will showcase his work in the solo exhibition “Attenuation and Amplification” at Hood College’s Whitaker Gallery. An opening reception will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. Dec. 6, and Scantlin will give an artist talk from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 10.
