Urban-scape:
New paintings by Richard Amend and Christopher Martin Hoff

October 18 – November 15, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 18, 6 – 10 pm

Painters Richard Amend and Christopher Martin Hoff share a gift for telling a story by capturing the narrative essence of a place. Each building, landscape and interior emanate an artistic frequency that feeds the viewer with fact and fiction. Amend's dramatic palette roars to life with equal attention to structure and light while negative space, structural harmony and external constructs, such as street signs and roadways, powerfully complement the realization of Hoff's urban tales.
