Roberto Jamora; An Inventory of Traces.
These are beautiful large works. He says he mines color
from memories and it’s intriguing the way he creates a thick layered surface and
then appears to scrape shapes in to uncover undulating color.
Angela Franks Wells;Parts and Labor. Copper plate
photogravure.
These are rich and beautiful photos from an auto repair
shop.
Allison Cooley; Your Nature Somewhere Else.
These are large abstract atmospheric abstract ink
blooms where upon closer inspection one is rewarded by experiencing the delicate
linear elements

Damien Davis: Color Cargo. Wood and color as subject.
How we assign
value to objects. The Luscher chart is explained as to how pseudo scientific
about color choice is used as a psychological test. He has developed a lexicon
of shapes over a long time on boxes to carry meaning and importance. This
exhibition is packed with many references to explore in more than one visit.

Joan
Elliot: Infinity Field
Joan’s new work has integrated more of the landscapes
into her geometric patterning. There are layers of architectural details and
patterns that overlay images of landscapes in some. They are a beauty one must
experience.
Matt
Kleberg: Blind Arcade.
His work refers to architecture and mixes it up with
organic elements employing intense colors.
Allison
Hall: for the white bird.
These are large black appearing paintings that take
some time looking at them before you see patterns and shapes emerge.

Frank Phillips: Pentimento
These large paintings are inspired by architecture and
process. The construction of which is revealed. These traces remain untouched,
revealing the element of time.
I missed the Childress Collection across the street
which I will try to get back to.
