Join us for the opening reception on First Friday November 7th 5:00-8:00pm for No Expectations featuring work by local artist John Tallman.
An exhibition titled “NO EXPECTATIONS” sets a particular stage. One with an air of play, exploration, and spontaneity. It’s in these modes that invention and experimentation are afforded the opportunity to come to the forefront. Actions, gestures, decisions are all taken seriously, though the pressure that sometimes comes with them is tamped down. The results, evidenced in John’s pieces are exciting, thoughtful, and complete- they show their history in their making.
Large color blocks, offset planes, directional mark making, torn edges, and printed elements all come together in John’s artwork. At times they push their boundaries against one another like tectonic plates, others open and close distances, and some melt into each other with silky strands of material, saturation, and hue.
These prints become spaces we know, or at least give the feeling like we may know them.
