Art Darkness Will Find You

  • Meth_lab_wrangell_large

Sculptor, video artist, and (increasingly often) independent curator Michael Dee is something of a conceptual punster; his own work in plastic abstract forms and layered images straddles the lines between beauty and ugliness, inverted technical process and ironic language. So it makes sense that he'd be attracted to the thematic possibilities of holding a show in a former bail-bonds office, near the jail that once held OJ Simpson. "Darkness," a word with meteorological, emotional, chromatic, and all manner of metaphorical imputations, sets the standard for the exhibition. An eclectic grouping of artwork explores a range of possibilities in a variety of media, including Kevan Jenson's smoke-on-canvas paintings, Dee's own positive/negative layers of light and ideas, Martin Durazo's kaleidoscopic found-object totems, and Jaime Scholnick's masterfully rendered, off-color witticisms.
