Julon Pinkston confronts the flatness and proliferation of digital images through applying acrylic in thick, impasto-like layers, forming paintings that double as wall-sculpture. Originally trained in the military, upon finishing his tour of duty, Pinkston embraced the Army motto "Fortuna Favet Fortibus (Fortune Favors the Bold)" and pursued painting as a career. His most recent body of works move from pure gestural abstraction to describing nature in highly stylized formations.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on view through February 12.
