McPherson Library Gallery

This exhibition features a collection of mixed media works on canvas by Alison Skelton. This was her first figure focussed project in a mixed-media, portrait format. Her choices of materials consciously support the themes of cultural, imagistic layering and in fact are a metaphor for this process. The exhibition is rooted in hidden messages, historical and mythical relationship dynamics, social structures, and the spiritual and philosophical forms by which we structure our world.

Works by Brian Grison

June 8 –July 2, 1982

McPherson Library Gallery

Brian Gison’s paintings are water based media on paper and are a continuation of a rationalized exploration of the conceptual and semantic possibilities inherent within different media.

The parameter of this investigation can be defined as a series of oppositions; those between tonal and chromatic images, and between figure and ground are primary focus.

-Brian Grison, 1981
