An exhibition of new works and site-specific interventions by Tulsa-based artist Shane Darwent<\/a> will be on display Wednesday through April 27 at Wright Gallery<\/a> on the Texas A&M University campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLight in the Way,\u201d supported by Texas A&M\u2019s Academy for the Visual & Performing Arts<\/a>, opens with an artist talk Wednesday at 2 p.m. and a reception from 3 to 4:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shane Darwent’s “Light in the Way” is on display through April 27. Photo by Rebecca Pugh.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Darwent is a current awardee of both the Tulsa Artist Fellowship<\/a> and Joan Mitchell Fellowship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adapting the vernacular of illuminated, commercial storefront awnings into free-standing sculptures, wall friezes and hybrid photographic objects, Darwent conjures uncanny tableaus of shopping center landscapes. Alongside these works, Darwent will create new, photographic interventions while on site in College Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercial facades, boxwood bushes and roadside architecture will serve as the source material for mural scale photographs installed in the gallery. Large-scale reproductions of the built environment, mapped on top of the already existing walls of the gallery, will create a haptic confusion of light and shadow, while the awning-based works, themselves lit from within, will continue to unravel \u2014 or illuminate \u2014 our sense of place and perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wright Gallery<\/a> is part of Texas A&M\u2019s School of Performance, Visualization and Fine Arts<\/a> and School of Architecture<\/a>. It is located in the Langford Architecture Building A, and is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is free and open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
