The Marjorie Wood Gallery is pleased to present San Francisco Bay Area artist Chris Ashley's "I Made This For You."
Chris Ashley uses HTML to make colored tables that are rendered as images by a web browser. He calls these "drawings," which he has made and posted daily on his blog. Although the images he makes are typically "abstract" they often reference and allude to the real world. He tries daily to make something that is beautiful, that is pictorially interesting, and that responds to or embodies an idea or subject.
Each day during December he will make one HTML drawing that will be posted online at the Marjorie Wood Gallery Website, where they will accumulate during the month. The completed set of drawings will be exhibited through the end of January.
The exhibition is accompanied by an essay, "Painting on Water," by Oakland artist George Lawson.
