| "Order Out of Chaos" Paintings by David Hylton | The Art of the Book: California Book Artists |
|
David Hylton's collection of abstract paintings fuses extemporaneous brushstrokes with intricately painted, metaphorical patterns. The interplay between these seemingly incongruous approaches provides the viewer with both the opportunity to navigate the paintings and to make new, personally charged associations. Hylton's artwork has been exhibited internationally, and he is a professor in the Department of Art at California Polytechnic University, California. On display through February 26.
