Pix from the Bing Opening

On Saturday night, February 11th, the Bing Arts Center hosted an opening reception for my show, GEOMETRIC BRICOLAGE: Found Materials Transformed. Here are some pictures from the event that are just casual shots of people taken by my wonderful wife and art assistant, Bonnie Caldwell. We have yet to take installation shots of the work, but those are coming - soon, I hope. (click on the images to enlarge)

I present it all to you (in front of "Thinking L.D.")

Sneak Peak of the Bing Show

The reception for my show, GEOMETRIC BRICOLAGE: Found Materials Transformed, at the Bing Arts Center will be held Saturday night, February 11th, 5 to 7 p.m. Everyone is invited to join me to see the work and enjoy some refreshments. Here are a few quick pictures to preview the work exhibited. Many more images will follow.

The Bing has glass-fronted galleries on either side of the central lobby entrance. (See the Bing Arts Center image in the sidebar at right.) Both sides announce the show title with my name. This is nearly as good as seeing my name in lights!

One wall in the righthand gallery features the two Centerfold pieces (30"x30" each), Thinking L.D. (48"x60") and Half 'n'Half (32"x40.5").

Part of a wall in the gallery on the other side includes three pieces from the Iconic Books series (each 12"x21"), The Blue Flower (30"x40") and the two Subliminal Stretch pieces (each 51"x16").

There are 32 pieces in the entire show of works constructed from mixed media with encaustic on panel.

I hope to see you there!
