Group show

Romo Gallery, Atlanta

Nancy Blum, Brian Dettmer and Clarence Morgan

Romo gallery presents the works of Nancy Blum, Brian Dettmer and Clarence Morgan. This group show presents three unique investigations on the theme of duality. Morgan’s use of alternating organic shapes suggest an organized complexity and when combined with the chaotic repetitious sketching quality found in the background of his paintings we are presented with his duality: organization vs. chaos. In a more detailed and obsessive vain, Blum creates an environment where many dualities are repeated continuously across her paintings of intricately crafted patterns creating serene environments that make the viewer want to escape to her paradise. Her duality: natural vs. unnatural. Dettmer engages in this dialogue through his carefully constructed flower arrangements made from altered and transformed film from gangster movies. He presents his duality in and through is work: technology vs. tradition. Juxtaposing, duplicating, layering and repeating all find their way into the works of Morgan, Blum and Dettmer contributing to this advantageous presentation of dualities.
