Dances with Light: Orval Hixon
The show of Orval Hixon’s dance portraiture is both art exhibition and history lesson, and it excels on both fronts.
“Immaterial” Matters: Chris Wubbena
Chris Wubbena’s “Immaterial” is both striking and subtle, grabbing a viewer’s attention with strong, eye-catching angles and holding it with enigmatic, faded marks — etched into the steel surface — reminiscent of ancient signs and symbols.
Bones, Not Bare: Andrew Burkitt
There’s a lot going on not only within Andrew Burkitt’s prints themselves, but in the number of potential responses by and resonances for each person who sees them.
Artistic Express(ion): Jan Gaumnitz
Jan Gaumnitz’s “Pony Express” has charm to burn, and a clear regional connection, but there’s more to the sculpture than that.
Conspicuous Consumption: Ryan Waggoner
Ryan Waggoner’s “An Appetite for Energy” is more than a show of attractively composed images; it’s an indictment of Americans’ energy-consumption habits.
Bizarre Bites: Meg Dejmal
Meg Dejmal has crafted an exhibition which pushes all sorts of emotional (visceral, really) buttons but also resolves into a coherent and satisfying whole.
Views and Visions: Tony Peterson
Tony Peterson covers a wide range of subjects, but the nature of structures and the structures of nature are common threads in his photographic work.
Design/Theory: Alan Detrich
Alan Detrich’s passions for paleontology and Intelligent Design meet in the work on display in downtown Lawrence.
Warts, Wrinkles and All: Jodi Brown
Jodi Brown has deliberately injected the unsettling and borderline grotesque into her graphite and gouache images, all of which are based on authors’ photos from book jackets.
Fire Above, Fire Below: Clare Doveton
“Vast” and “small” are antonyms, most times and places. Clare Doveton has reconciled those opposites into her new series of oils on paper.
Faces of Home: T.J. Harrison
There’s a definite warmth and intimacy to T.J. Harrison’s photography, a feeling that Harrison is recording not only artistic images but the faces of those for whom she cares deeply.
A Reverence for Reverence: Margo Kren
Margo Kren’s show at the Lawrence Arts Center is as much an act of devotion as the structures which inspired it.
The Colors and Textures of Joy: Jason Wood
Jason Wood has taken what most of us would consider a catastrophic event and turned it into a source of creative and personal joy.
Studies in Contrast: Sam Smith
Sam Smith’s photographs juxtapose soft and angular elements, his use of black-and-white heightening the inherent contrast and tension.
Poster Power: Patrick Giroux
Patrick Giroux favors simple color schemes and bold, blocky fonts, often mixing up typefaces and sizes, in his concert posters. Text is only half of the equation, though: The purely visual elements, many of them reminiscent of woodcuts, would stand just fine on their own merits as art prints.
