Nocturnes and Between Earth & Sky Continues

Nocturnes: Divergent Visions featuring the luminous and mysterious works of Charles Philip Brooks and Chris Semtner and  Dan Coburn's compelling works in Between Earth & Sky, continue at 12 12 Gallery through December 23, 2007.

Though Chris Semtner prefers to depict faces and Charles Brooks paints landscapes, the two artists have found commonalities in their divergent subjects by collaborating in Nocturnes: Divergent Visions. Working on the same scale and format, Semtner presents glowing acrylic paintings of faces that resemble landscapes, while Brooks uses his lush oil-painting technique capture the humanity in moonlit landscapes and seascapes.

With Between Earth and Sky, Dan Coburn poses several questions for his viewers about the current state of humankind's relationship with religion and environment through his striking and compelling photographs. Will they speak volumes to a world facing an imminent energy crisis? Will they serve as a measure of progress in terms of urbanization and overpopulation? Visit the exhibition and decide for yourself!
