Earlier this season, the Thomas Segal Gallery featured the work of two Baltimore artists in a show alongside major landscape artist Wolf Kahn. That departure from the tradition of focusing on "blue-chip artists" is being followed by the gallery's first-ever solo exhibit for a Baltimore artist.
David Brown, a Maryland native and UMBC alum whose art has been exhibited in New York and Dallas, has worked for the Segal Gallery for more than a decade designing installations. A striking element in his minimalist works is the use of a small eye motif repeated innumerable times to create geometric shapes and contemplative, mandala-like circles against a strong solid color.
The exhibit runs Wednesday through Jan. 15, by appointment only, at the Thomas Segal Gallery, 4 W. University Pkwy. Call 410-235-1500 or go to thomassegalgallery.com.
