Cloud Tree: Pinnacles
This new series of paintings by John Mulvany weaves together events – remembered, recounted, or directly experienced – into an allegorical narrative documenting a singular imagined event set over a 24-hour period in the desert and mountains along the border of Texas and Mexico. "When I took my first trip to Big Bend," says the artist, "the heat, the extraordinary light, the intense silence, the long blue shadows – it was the most exotic and intense landscape I had ever experienced." And now you can know that experience, too, citizen – via visions from the eyes and mind of this talented man, as rendered in meticulous pigments on paper, on canvas, on the heart of the world.Closing reception with the artist: Sun., Oct. 9, 2pm -
