PUTNEY "Elemental Abstractions: Works on Paper" by Joe Norris: Norris's paintings explore the area between representational art and total abstraction. Implying, rather than rendering, they invite the viewer to participate and engage with the created image. Through use of color, composition and texture, he aims to create the essence of something - to create a feel for a subject matter. By using typography, collage and graphic elements as a starting point to develop an underpainting, in addition to a series of transparent washes, these elements suggest a previous history that adds to the sense of space and visual depth. Open to the public during scheduled performances in the theater and by appointment. Through Monday, February 13. Next Stage Arts Project, 15 Kimball Hill.
