Light and Space Exhibition at International Images

Artwork Exhibition by Local Artist, Rex Chronister Friday, March 2, 2012 6:00pm-9:00pm

International Images, ltd. invites the Pittsburgh community to experience the art event, "Light and Space; an Exploration of Metaphysics and Minimalism" with artworks by Pittsburgh artist, Rex Chronister, Friday, March 2, 2012 from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm. Rex Chronister will be present to discuss his artistic process and philosophy.

"Light and Space" is born from a mixture of opposing artistic movements and influences, highly reminiscent of abstract expressionistic art, pop art, and minimalism. Rex Chronister's collection requests the spectator to accept the reductive simplicity in artworks such as "Stars and Stripes", an image of an American flag with the stars and stripes painted perfectly, including an image of the cosmos in place of the flag's stars. In contrast, "Inner Space", is the human desire for metaphysical understanding, as the image displays human eyes peering through space, surrounded by primary geometric lines and shapes. "Satisfaction" is a canvas shot with a shotgun, a metaphor expressing Rex's frustration with art, life and success.

The exhibition will continue through May of 2012.

 

Monday, March 5th, 11:00 pm - 12:00 pm
