Carlton Nell Recent Compositions in Silver & Paint

Carlton Nell’s drawings and paintings originate from direct observation of immediate visual surroundings. He is interested in how abstract visual properties–shape, tone, pattern, scale, etc.–form a framework for seeing the world. By using these properties as a prism with which to view and suspend the observed world, he hopes it leads to a deeper experience of it. Carlton is a professor at Auburn University and is represented by Nancy Hoffman Gallery in New York and Thomas Dean Fine Art in Atlanta.

October 19 – November 30

Josh Johnson Make a Collection of Cobwebs

Josh Johnson carves, constructs, and joins low, often rummaged materials and portions of past works into lonely vistas alluding to the slippages associated with memory’s shaky hold on place. The resulting sculptures are a build-up of references aimed at softening the margins that separate perceptions and moments, inhabiting a landscape between ‘here’ and ‘there.’ Josh is an art instructor at Missouri State University.
