Hoffman LaChance Contemporary: Friday, 8 april 2016
Brad Loudenback
Opening reception 6-9 pm, artist talk 7 pm
"The collages in this exhibition are interpretations of various cities across Europe. While working and traveling in Europe, I realized the method of assembling collages - with overlapping bits of paper and layers of transparent vellum - was analogous to the way cities are built and well suited to convey the story of rival cultural narratives as they merge over time. Yet, I think of these works more like color poems than historical analysis. Through juxtaposition and displacement these works allude to periods of turbulent history; but also convey ideas of harmonious adaptation in the effect of the designs."
