Bill Hochhausen “The Polyoptical”
The Painting Center
This event has ended.
The Painting Center presents The Polyoptical, new and related work by Bill Hochhausen, which represents his decades long effort at realizing a combinatorial art. Compositions unite carved sculptural forms with landscape paintings, to create a situation where spaces multiply the optical play of illusion and reality. It has the effect of setting flatness of the rectangular panels into unstable equilibrium. Treating the framing manner itself, as form, is more of what Hochhausen describes as a setting up a perceptual situation. The Polyoptical, as one might surmise, refers to the many ways in which visual perception is experienced, especially by artists. Not because artists are special, but because a thousand years of art have informed how they see and think, one might call it, an intentional cultivation of awareness.
