INTRODUCTIONS: Four Painters Joining Haley-Henman
Carol Barth, James Haddock, Lee Hill and Jack Warren
May 14 - June 11, 2011
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 14, 2011 at 7-9 pm
DALLAS, Texas (April 15, 2011)--Haley-Henman is pleased to represent Carol Barth, James Haddock, Lee Hill, and Jack Warren as part of its family of gallery artists. The group exhibition entitled Introductions will open on May 14 and continue until June 11, 2011. A reception with the artists will be on Saturday, May 14 from 7- 9 pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Haley-Henman is honored to have Carol Barth as a member of the gallery. She brings an impressive oeuvre of expressive abstractions created during several decades. She will continue her long-standing relationship with Alan Barnes Gallery who has relocated to Santa Fe. Haley-Henman will be her representative for the Dallas and North Texas region. For her inaugural exhibition, Haley-Henman has selected seven works from the collection, Seaside, mixed media works on paper. Haley-Henman will be showing her work during the next three exhibitions at the gallery to provide viewers and collectors the range and depth of Ms. Barths work before her solo show of new paintings in October-November, 2011.
James Haddock and Lee Hill are emerging artists of great promise. For the past several years, James Haddock has consistently placed Best in Show in national and regional shows. Haley-Henman is honored to represent Mr. Haddock and we look forward to his continuing success. For this introduction of his work, Haley-Henman is featuring his mixed media works from his collection entitled, Seasonal Colors Entice Emotion. These works of intensely saturated colors and rich textures iconically speak to spiritual dimensions.
Lee Hill is a prominent architect and emerging artist. For the introduction of his work to the gallery, Haley-Henman had a difficult decision because Mr. Hill is very accomplished both as a painter and a photographer. Haley-Henman has distinguished Mr. Hills photographic works with several awards at regional juried shows. However, Mr. Hills painting might facilitate our understanding of Mr. Hill, the artist, as expressed by his statement related to the collection of paintings entitled, Chaos, selected for this exhibition. He states:
The consequence and outcome of random events has led me to consider Chaos Theory in my work as a painter, photographer and architect. On the surface Chaos Theory describes systems that are disordered. But the theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data and patterns. This focus leads me to explore where we as individuals fit into larger patterns both physically and spiritually and is expressed at the heart of my creative work.
Jack Warren was a Dallas artist known for his painting, sculpture, and jewelry design. He was also a mechanical designer and manufactured the first Jarvik artificial heart and the machine to cut wavy potato chips for Frito-Lay. His artwork reflects his curiosity, inventiveness, and always a sense of play. Haley-Henman is sadden with his recent passing and honored to represent Jack Warrens artwork posthumously. His first exhibition of work at the gallery presents acrylic and canvas works from his Music Series.
Haley-Henman Gallery is located at 2335 Hardwick Street, Dallas, Texas 75208. Traveling west from downtown Dallas, take the third left after crossing over the Trinity River via the Commerce Street Bridge. The gallery is opened from Wednesday though Saturday, noon to 5 pm, and by appointment. For more information, please call 214-749-1277 or info@haleyhenman.com. ###
Melting Pot National Juried Exhibition
Three photographs by Architect and Artist Lee Albert Hill were chosen for inclusion in the National Juried Exhibition Melting Pot at the Eclectic Expressions Gallery in Arlington, Texas. At the opening reception one of his photographs Remains of the Day - Remembering Vietnam was given special recognition as Best-in-Show by Jurist Dr. John Marcucci, Director of the Haley-Henman Gallery in Dallas.
Dr. Marcuccis critical comments included:
The war experience in memoriam has such deep roots in American culture that is it hard to be an American without feeling its direct influence in some way. With the 4th of July holiday upon us, it is gratifying as a jurist that Lees piece directly expresses whats at the heart of the Melting Pot exhibition. The photograph is disturbing and at the same time oddly comforting. It is perfectly executed and so well done that it could hang in any museum in the US.
The exhibition Melting Pot is a juried exhibition celebrating the diversity of our cultural experiences and runs from June 30-July 28, 2010 at the Eclectic Expressions Gallery in Arlington, Texas.
Marin MOCA
One of Lee Albert Hill's photographs has been chosen for inclusion in the 5th Summer National Juried Exhibition "Private Eyes: Artists' Visions" at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art in Novato, California just north of San Francisco. The show opens June 19th and runs through to July 18, 2010
