Paint & Ink
by Ashley Johnston
Curated by Lawrence Edwards, professor emeritus and former chair of the university's art department, the tribute will showcase Knowles' proficiency in the world of abstract expressionism alongside Langdon's clever flair within meticulous drawings and some early paintings.
As a painter, Knowles expressed a particular fondness for nature — capturing aerial landscapes, figures in water, forests, deserts, mountains, and canyons. The exhibition will also feature pieces stemming from his interest in Eastern philosophies and personal desires as an artist.
Langdon's works in graphite, ink, and Prismacolor explore his loving observations of diverse physical qualities. The intimacy he conveys calls for careful consideration from the viewer.
"Memories" at the Art Museum of the University of Memphis. Opening reception: Friday, October 7th, 5-7:30 p.m. Through January 7th, 2012.
