TOM ORR in IMPRINTS at 500X

Tom Orr, Fingerprint, screenprint on wood, 81 x 81 in.

500x Gallery, commemorating 30 years as the oldest artist-run space in Texas, highlights 3 generations of member artists with the current exhibition Imprint, curated by current member Leslie Murell, includes artists Tom Orr, Vance Wingate, and Natalie Macellaio.

Tom Orr, one of 500x's founding members, will include a survey of artwork produced over the past 30 years, including a ready-made installation included in the gallery's first exhibition in 1978. His works will include investigations in abstraction and perception.

The work of Vance Wingate investigates intersections of mathematical reason and human intuition, setting specific rules to construct the images that result in nuanced variations.

Natalie Macelliao uses the cracks found on the gallery floor and imitates them in silver on the walls of the gallery. Mimicking mundane flaws in precious metals brings an immediate awareness of the surrounding space.
