HCG Gallery Art Opening Dallas

Opening Reception:  December 11

HCG Opening December 11 for Tolbert and Seale

Frank X Tolbert 2 exhibits new drawings at HCG Gallery in a show running December 11 through January 18, 2011.  Says the artist:

"During the forty years of my career as an artist I have worked in a narrative style. I work with graphite, oil stick,  oil paint, and watercolors. I consider myself a 'drawer' regardless of the medium. The marks I make are my emotional responses to what is going on around me. My work is about the mundane, the real, the surreal and the absurdities of life on Earth."

Ansen Seale delves into a world accessible only through the machine he has created. A special designed digital camera records only things that move or change. Water is the main subject, but water is here a medium for reflection and transmission of imagery. The resulting realism and abstraction co-exist in a swirling vortex of color and light.

Seale's "Luminous Flux" records hidden realities beneath the surface of our everyday visual experience, by way of a unique device. States the artist, "Over the past 10 years, I have pursued a little-known technique called slitscan photography. Far from being just a visual curiosity, it has become a substantial tool for the exploration of themes meaningful to me. I have found slitscan photography to be an excellent vehicle for ideas central to my work, ideas about time and our place in its continuum.
