CLOSES THIS WEEKEND: Alan Crockett: Mark Making
November 6 - January 31
 From
his earliest figurative narrations to his suggestive pre-figurations of
bountiful color, Alan Crockett has always been a painter's painter;
dedicated to the canvas, to the brush, to the gesture. His retirement
this year forms the occasion for this mini-retrospective of a life in
the studio, and a life dedicated to art, teaching, and family.Mark Making traces, through paintings and drawings, some dating back to undergraduate
work, Crockett's prolific output in the studio and offers viewers the
opportunity to really see and understand the meaning of a life-long
artistic practice. On view are selections from Crockett's thirty-six
years of research into the power of symbol and metaphor, the nuances of
investigation and discovery, the subtleties of poetic color, the
possibilities of line, shape, gesture. All contribute to his
adventurous journey of learning to speak the language of art and life
through the painted canvas.
Co-curated by Prudence Gill and Jan O'Dea.
