Alexandre Hogue Gallery to Present "Facets of Perception" Aug. 23

Monday, August 06, 2007

The University of Tulsa’s School of Art will present "Facets of Perception" Aug. 23 to Sept. 28 in the Alexandre Hogue Gallery. The exhibition represents a collaboration among artists who have agreed to arrange and paint the objects of a still life that includes one identical element: a small glass tumbler.

The exhibition was organized by Zeuxis, a New York-based association of still life painters. The exhibition includes paintings by the 23 members of Zeuxis and their invited guests Richard Baker, Temma Bell, Donna Cehrs, Mark Lewis, Stephanie Sanchez, Bill White, and Trevor Winkfield.

The exhibition’s paintings vary in technique from the highly naturalistic to the semi-abstract, from the expressionistic to the firmly controlled. The inclusion of the one identical glass highlights each artist’s different approach to the same object, and demonstrates the wide possibilities of still life painting.

An opening reception will take place Aug. 23 from 5–7 p.m. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
