Continues through June 27th, 2015.
On view, a selection of recent explorations by
Gary A.
Bibb into the realm of mixed media painting and collage.
Bibb's unique sense of color and composition express a deeply felt concern with aesthetic considerations and the place of artistic practice in contemporary society. Intimate in scale,
Bibb's rich surfaces invite the viewer to linger and discover unknown vistas in these landscapes of the mind.
As the artist states:
"
The artist's creative process is more than an intellectual puzzle or an emotional exercise; it is an expression of the soul whereby the rational, emotional and spiritual components of our being work in concert, each playing an integral role.
Confronted with uncertainty and disorder, we strive to resolve these conflicts. Therefore, an artist develops a compulsion to complete the task of selecting, signifying and organizing the various pictorial elements until a personal sense of balance, harmony and purpose is achieved."
