I Know Everything About You And We Haven't Met


Light & Sie is pleased to present the first solo exhibition of works by Los Angeles-based artist, James Gilbert. Working primarily in drawings and “soft sculptures,” James is interested in exploring the relationship between anonymity, identity and loneliness within a media saturated environment.

You Go Your Way & I'll Go Mine


Light & Sie is proud to present the first solo exhibition in Dallas by Chicago-based painter, Howard Fonda. Unlike many other artists working today, Howard is unabashedly devoted to painting and refuses to accept the contemporary notion that “painting is dead.” Working in one sitting, while the canvas is still wet, a technique referred to as alla prima, this process allows for one layer of paint without any under paintings. The result is incandescent colors, decisively visible brush strokes and any mistake is either incorporated into the composition or the painting is destroyed.

In the Project Space, Light & Sie is pleased to present an exhibition of new abstract paintings by Sarah Anne Lobb. . Based in Philadelphia, Lobb paints in a constructivist abstract style works that are typically small(er) scaled and that speak to the long tradition of non-representational painting. Lobb writes: “Imagery seems to specifically refer to pictures, which I do not prioritize in painting. The subject of a painting is made up of equal and connected pieces comprising a painting and those paintings are equal and separated pieces that comprise a whole work of art. I try not to think of these things in a hierarchical way.”

In the Main Gallery, Light & Sie is proud to present “Wicked Creek,” a new series of color photographs by noted Belgian artist, Wouter Deruytter. . Executed in the summer of 2007, these images document the Montana fires and the valiant firefighters who fought them. Presented primarily as diptychs, triptychs and even the occasional quadratych and quintriptych, these extremely heartfelt and often moving images recount the continuing story of man’s perpetual conflict with the elements and our need to tame nature itself.

Light & Sie is proud to present the solo debut of Chicago-based multi-media artist, Terence Hannum. Working concurrently in video, painting and sculpture, Terence’s themes focus on the transcendence and impermanence of sound and performance, and the group catharsis experienced by those who surrender to them.

For Don’t Give Up The Ghost, Terence will present the world premiere of “The Badge of Punishment,” a two-channel video installation featuring the band, Prurient. In addition, Terence will also present new paintings, sculpture and drawings.

Photographer Thomas Allen uses the salacious pulp art drawings of the '40s and '50s that covered books such as "I Married a Dead Man" and "Marijuana Girl" and gives them a new dimension- the third. Allen arranges one set of pictures close up while obscuring the other, and creates a different context in the process. He gives each piece a brand new storyline, though never quite strays from their cheeky origins. Known internationally for his collaboration with reknowned designer Chip Kidd, Allen brings the physical format of the paperback book and expands it into a three-dimensional fantasy.
