\William Metcalf: Transparency opens at Charlotte Jackson
William Metcalf: Transparency Oct 4 - Nov 2, 2019
Reception with the artist, Friday Oct 4, 5-7 PM
Approaching from an extreme angle, near to the wall of the gallery, it can look as if there is almost nothing there at all. The thin, shaped Alupanel pieces are only 3mm thick - near to seamlessly merging with the walls. Walk round and face them front on, however, and a world of color, shape, and depth unfold before you: impossible, tantalizing, enthralling. Location: Charlotte Jackson 554 S. Guadalupe St.
