A reception will be held Thursday, Dec. 14, at Tanner Hill Gallery to open “Interference,” a solo show of art by Damien Crisp. The reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. at the gallery, 3069 Broad St.
“Interference” is a compilation of Crisp’s work spanning several years. It includes paintings, collages and his book, “Slave.” Probably best-known for his political activism, Crisp’s work is often viewed through a political lens, though it can also be read as deeply personal.
Using poetic gestures, Crisp suspends direct interpretations of his artwork through emotive mark-making, and he develops new linguistic associations with repetitive text. His believes his artwork relates to anyone living in the 21st century.
The Chattanooga artist received a bachelor’s degree in painting from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and his Master of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. He works in painting, writing, photography, collage and installation.
