Durham Art Guild

A special preview of the exhibition ExtraSpectral with the exhibiting artists!

Durham Art Guild : Truist Gallery

J﻿oin us for and extra special first glance of the newest exhibition to hit the DAG Truist Gallery: ExtraSpectralB﻿e the first to view the exhibition and meet some of the exhibiting artists. F﻿ree for all DAG Members. Suggested donation for nonmembers. D﻿onations support the presenting artists and the Durham Art Guild. Extra-spectral colors cannot be evoked with a single wavelength of light, but rather by a combination of wavelengths. From the technical challenge of re-creating color to the ultra-personal choice of which hues to include to the fact that, as Josef Albers noted, we can never even see color as it physically is, making it the “most relative medium in art,” the relationship of the Artist to color is as complex as possible.This exhibit highlights several NC-based Artists that, on the surface, use colors that are “extra” (which is where their commonality ends) to evoke their intent through a combination of this color with forms and imagery as well as the concepts embedded in color’s many identities. Artists Jane Cheek, Jerstin Crosby, Zach Storm, Tonya Solley Thornton and Leif Zikade all require color to play a primary role in their work and their relationship to an audience.
