Event Description |
R.B. Stevenson Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition "Luminous Contemplations" featuring new paintings by Arizona artist David Ivan Clark and glass sculpture by San Diego artist Deanne Sabeck.
David Ivan Clark paintings hover in the space between romantic landscape and weathered industrial artifact. They dwell in limbo, each marking the spot where nostalgia collides with fact, where celebration and elegy converge. From a distance the paintings present land, sky and nothing more. sky and nothing more. Held up to the turbulent flux of the mechanized world, they offer refuge. As one draws near, however, bucolic illusion becomes fugitive: deep space collapses to surface; distant horizon reverts to paint, pitted and scoured; serene haven, glimpsed as if on film, old, grainy and scratched, dissolves to abstraction. Deanne Sabeck's series of glass sculptural objects are both mysterious and contemplative. Oculus meaning eye, and enigma meaning mysterious or difficult to understand. |
