Opening Reception at Bruno David Gallery March 25, 2011

Bruno David Gallery is pleased to present Carmon Colangelo’s fourth solo exhibition entitled "Eyedeas" with the gallery. Carmon Colangelo's new works on paper and canvas from 2009-2011 explore the conflation of human history, current events and personal reveries through time, space and media. Taking a diaristic approach, Colangelo muses about culture, urban life, globalism, social networking, transcendence and the impact of humans on the earth. Using grids, reproductions, text and juxtaposing the iconography from modernism with conceptual artmaking strategies, this body of experimental work is composed of water based media, digital printing and drawing. A fully illustrated catalogue with an essay by Buzz Spector accompanies the exhibition.

Born in Toronto, Canada, Carmon Colangelo received his MFA from Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He is one of the foremost figures in the print and drawing world in America and the world. His work has been exhibited widely, from Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. to Argentina, Canada, England, Puerto Rico, and Korea. His works are in collections at the National Museum of American Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University. He is the Dean of the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis and holds the E. Desmond Lee Professorship for Collaboration in the Arts.
