"Sight | Sound" explores the creative interrelations between the auditory and the visual. Some expressions are perhaps obvious, visual artists throughout history who have captured the likenesses of musicians in film, drawing, or paint - among those Andy Warhol’s drawings and photographs of Michael Jackson and Russell Young’s (UK/US) diamond dusted screenprint of Jimmy Hendrix. A second, slightly more attenuated group of works center song lyrics and melodies that have captured hearts and imaginations; these include Robert Motherwell’s Lyric Suite, text works by the late Chris Bracey (UK) and David Spiller (UK), and contemporary paintings by Shaunt’e Lewis (Indianapolis/US) and Constance Edwards Scopelitis (Indianapolis/US). Perhaps the most subtle, the final selection of works in this exhibition explore the rhythm of creation, the objective and subjective appearance of sound. Artists whose works embody this theme include Daniel Mullen (Netherlands), Rachel Hellmann (Indianapolis/US), Tarik Currimbhoy (US), and Oliver Marsden (UK).

Please join us for the First Friday reception, sponsored by Conrad Indianapolis, on September 6th from 6:30-9:00pm.
