Hullo!
This week at the Dunlop Art Gallery we've been installing the upcoming show, "Diabolique". Normally, we would keep the windows covered (and the public gaze out...) but this time around, we've left the windows open so that patrons can watch Fawad Khan work. The New-York based, Lybian born, Pakistan raised young artist is doing a large wall-painting at the back of the gallery. It's a scene reminiscent of a car-bomb, but victimless and flamless. Instead, flashes of color, light, and the occaisional screw punctuate the retro-american car. Encased in camo, the vehicle is american, bringing the car-bombs home, instead of leaving the violence crypticaly distant in the middle east. Fawad will be one of three artist's giving talks on Saturday, July the 18th, beginning at two. On a strictly personal note, he is charming, well-spoken, and eager to make interesting conversation. I urge everyone to take advantage of this opportunity, and join us for this exciting event.
