Bryce Speed: Chip Off the Old Block opens
This is an exhibition of acrylic paintings "that employ an interplay of universal shapes on simple grounds to evoke palpable experiences of the horizon, language, and architectural spaces." Bryce Speed is a University of Alabama Associate Professor of Art.
Reflecting on his work, Speed says, “Creating a painting or drawing is a good vehicle for slowing down and reflecting on the rapid pace at which we now experience images in our world. In an era of instant access, analogue processes such as painting seem well situated for new intersections to develop within contemporary visual expression. Using a collage-like sensibility to lay out this work, with its fluidity and maneuverability, I seek to represent how both internal and external forces shape relationships between idea and form.”
It runs July 11 through September 13,
