Sweet Tart :: October 7 – 29 2006
500X Gallery 500 Exposition Avenue Dallas, TX 75226 214-828-1111
Opening Reception Saturday, October 7, 2006 6-10 PM featuring new works by: John Oliver Lewis & Jessica McCambly
John Oliver Lewis uses recognizable forms combined with abstract patchwork to create sculptures that generate an erratic sense of purpose. These flights of imagination are supported by the inspection of architecture, natural land formations, caricature and vehicles of travel, as well as by cartoons, contemporary fashion, knick-knacks, fishing lures, boy’s and girl’s toys and relationships. The resulting sculpture is a comical union of his manifestations that has the appearance of candy.
Jessica McCambly is interested in the potential for emotion and nuance within an aesthetically minimal context. Her works on paper are an exploration of the idea that formal simplicity can evoke complexity and intimacy in experience.
