David Hannon Exhibits "Odd Tales" at Gordy Fine Art & Framing

David Hannon, assistant professor of painting at Ball State University, will exhibit new paintings during the month of November at Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company in downtown Muncie. An opening reception for the award-winning artist will be held during First Thursday on November 1, 2007, from 5 to 8 PM. Refreshments will be served and the public is invited to attend.

Hannon's unique style in this series fuses traditional landscape with acrylic transfer images borrowed from the masters. He encourages his audience to read into each piece. "I believe my paintings should form a relationship between beauty and mystery, and invite the viewer to search deeper for the meaning and significance of each work," offers the artist. The show's title refers to the mixed media use of his contemporary painting, co-mingled with images borrowed from ages past. "I found working with another artist's drawings created an interesting dynamic between the original artist's intent and how I can manipulate their images with my invented landscape and imposed narrative."

Odd Tales will be on display through November 30th, and may also be seen during normal business hours, Monday - Friday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM, Saturday, 9 to 3. Gordy Fine Art & Framing Company is located at 224 East Main Street in the historic Boyce Block. For more information, call 284-8422 or visit their website, www.gordyframing.com.
