The Grey Area :: Curatorial Statement by Tommy Gregory

The Grey Area features new works by Devon Moore and Kathy Kelley, two artists whose concepts and materials differ yet complement one another beautifully.  Moore transforms sheet metal into gorgeous and mesmerizing images that vaguely reference landscape. His painstaking process and impeccable presentation provoke an almost meditative feeling of serenity and reflection. In great aesthetic contrast are Kelley's raw and grotesque manipulations, which alter the viewer’s predetermined definition of beauty. The artist creates graceful and whimsical compositions using discarded rubber and tubes. This exhibition is a great example of contrasting styles and their transformative value within the gallery space. The Grey Area challenges the traditional boundaries of sculpture and painting, creating an almost achromatic experience that takes over the environment.
I am extremely proud to be a part of this exhibition. Having first experienced the work of these artists in Houston as an undergraduate, I have been fortunate to witness their evolution and growth both conceptually and formally. Both individuals are exemplary artists, maintaining full time jobs, and lives, while making the time to create and install thought provoking work that should change, if even in the slightest bit, the way we look at the world we temporarily occupy.

This show is badass.
