TEXT & IMAGE
JUNE 3–28· 2009
Many artists use texts, words, ciphers in their work
— often disguising a deeper meaning, covering stories, but sometimes
also just and only for reasons of aesthetics. But even in these cases
text elements, are true reflections of our time. We see billboards and
signs wherever we go; advertising and propaganda are omnipresent.
In this show Artamo Gallery presents work by artists, who blurred or extended
the boundaries in their creation of art, integrating type, text and words
in their work. Participating artists are Janet Bothne from Los Angeles,
Jack N. Mohr, from Santa Barbara, and also Ray Phillips and Michelle Y.
Williams, both from Houston, Texas, and Sarah Earle as a guest from the
midwest.
