Gallery Interest

As it’s a very busy time of year at work, I haven’t had a great deal of time to think about galleries.  However on Saturday I wandered into a new contemporary gallery in Dartmouth.  I had seen a large piece in the window which comprised stripes of colour.  The piece was similar to a series of ‘Touch Designer’ works that I had completed earlier this year, but as the viewer moved past the colours on this piece changed.  I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about the artwork and the artist who created it.

I discovered that the artist was Lawrie Hutcheon who just like me enjoyed creating computer generated art.  I began to chat to the lady in the gallery.  I explained about my love of computer art and what I had done.  She said she was interested to see it.

 As I was scrolling through my phone, she caught sight of some of my black and white weekly Zentangle work and asked if I had made any images into cards?  I explained that I hadn’t, and she said that her husband (the gallery owner) might like to talk to me further about pieces to go into the gallery. She suggested that I email her husband citing our conversation.  This really made my day because I hadn’t really expected that.

Since our meeting I have contacted the gallery with some of my favourite black and white images.  I also created a short video piece to accompany my email.  Should I hear back, I will provide an update.  In the meantime please see my video short below.
