Battleship Down

Randy Niessen
Runs from August 5, 2010 through to September 29, 2010
Closing reception: Thursday, September 16 at 7:00 PM

Randy Niessen's site-specific installations are created through a hyrbid of painting, print media, and sculpture. These installations play with the tension between art and environment, materials and space, as well as reality and illusion. In the abstract of a sinking ship, Battleship Down is an explosive scene of geometric shapes and colour. Fire, water, and light are represented by paint and string erupting around an abstract dreadnought engulfed in its own environment.
