H. F. Johnson Gallery of Art

Titled after a quote from his daughter, “The Days go by like Wildness” is an exhibition of drawings by local artist Colin Matthes. This set of unconscientious images comes from his daily drawing routine. Mr. Matthes produces cathartic images, made in the studio and around the home with his wife and two children, of moments piling up, combining narratives from books and TV with imaginative and lived moments. Please also attend the artist talk for this exhibit from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, in the H. F. Johnson Gallery of Art.

His works play in sub- and counter-cultural histories, like a joke that’s a poem that’s a song covering itself, a shadow puppet interfering in the broadcast beam, having déjà vu for the first time, or watching a time travel sequence in reverse. Attend the opening reception for this exhibit from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 21 and the artist talk from 6:15 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, in the H. F. Johnson Gallery of Art.
