A show of new paintings by Providence-based artist Terry Rose opens at the Anderson Gallery on Wednesday, September 3 and remains open until Friday, October 2nd. This is the first time the works of this artist have been shown on a college campus. A reception for the artist is scheduled for Thursday, September 10 from 4:30 until 6:00 at the Anderson Gallery.

The magnificent paintings comprising "Beyond Possibilities" hover between abstraction and representation. On the one hand, the works are subtle and intricate arrangements of color, shape and nuanced manipulations of perceived space. But on the other, the paintings evoke such imagery as microscopic life, spores, clouds, dark voids and atmospheres. These images appear to morph before our eyes, to dissolve and reform, to come in and out of focus. To create his floating worlds, Rose coats an aluminum panel with wet varnish and then drips varnish oils, inks, micron pigments (solutions that contain suspended particulate matter), and enamel into it.

The gallery is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Questions, please call X2766.
