The Luggage Store Gallery is honored to present a solo exhibition of new work by Adriane Colburn: a mixed media installation œOf Darkness will open on Friday, February 3rd and run til March 10, 2012. Opening Reception is Friady, February 3 from 6-9pm. (Gallery hours: Wed-Saturday 12-5pm and by appointment)
For the past several years, Colburn has traveled with scientists who study climate change in remote terrains, such as Antartica and the Amazon. This exhibition has evolved from those expeditions.
Of Darkness combines drawings, sculpture, video, photographs and large scale cut paper in an installation that looks at the tension and complex beauty born out of the collision of wilderness and human industry.
Through a snarl of meticulously cut color-mapped images, reflected surfaces and weighty sculptures, Colburn juxtaposes the patterns of the material world with the exuberant foliage of the jungle. She explores how difficult and remote terrains are viewed through the lenses of technology such as photographs, remote sensing, and 3-d models.
The works in Of Darkness, embrace abstraction through their attempt to depict the complex and unwieldy, becoming part map, part science fiction, and part psychedelic jungle.

“…Ever dedicated, committed, placing artistry ahead of commerciality, doing what she feels she needs to do regardless of how it may or may not play to the public– these are reasons why I respect and admire not only her art, but also everything she stands for. Worth a visit…” Allen Bamber from Art Business for more of the article go to http://www.artbusiness.com/1open/020312.html
