1987.=20

Presently he is the assistant professor and heads the drawing area in

Charles Kanwischers is attracted to domestic architectural landscape art
that depicts contemporary life with its compelling imagery in its
ordinariness. His subjects come from the kind of disposable real estate
magazines found in supermarkets. Their low resolution and contrast force
him to scrutinize and interpret what he sees. Houses are at once
completely common and absolutely specific. Most houses are pretty much
like all other houses and yet they are the repositories of the most
intimate aspect of our lives. They are a kind of crucible for the
formation of our psyches, the location of events and sensations that for
better or worse condition our sense of well being.  The images are made
with graphite pencil, powdered graphite, and traditional silverpoint on
paper coated with gesso that is mounted on panels to create a three
dimensionality. Both the barely visible traces of the hand of the artist
and the sculptural presence cause the viewer to question what we
normally conceive as a drawing.

The material/physical aspects of the work are just as important as what
the drawings depict and the particularities of structure and surface are
completely available to the viewer. Even though the work is presented in
the black and white documentary style, the work is still open for
personal interpretation.=20

The opening reception is Friday April 8th from 6-10 pm.
