Des Lee Gallery: Friday, 3 February 2012

Two Sides of a 45: Lisha Bai, J. Michael Deane, and Jane Fox Hipple

February 3 - March 9, 2012
Opening reception: Friday, February 3, 2012 from 6-9pm

The Des Lee Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Two Sides of a 45: Lisha Bai, J. Michael Deane, and Jane Fox Hipple. The works of the three artists featured in this exhibition are tethered to each other loosely through geometry and a straightforward manipulation of materials and images. They are based across the country and are all alumni of Washington University in St. Louis.

Two Sides of a 45 is a misleading title, as there are more than two different perspectives represented within the exhibition. The viewpoints vary in combinations between the artists and within their individual work. An interesting dialogue is created when the work of one artist is placed within proximity of another artist's work, especially when the artists are not expressively explicit in their content. Lisha's work in comparison with Mike's can prompt a different "read" to his work than Jane's does in comparison, and so-on. The title poetically references a 45 rpm vinyl record, a 45° degree angle and a .45 caliber pistol.

Gallery hours for this exhibition will be Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 1-6 and by appointment.
