Protege: Sam Gilliam and Kevin Cole January 22, 2011

Considered one of the foremost abstract artists of the 20th and 21st century, Sam Gilliam and his protege, Kevin Cole, will take you on an artistic journey from an expressionistic place to one of abstraction. This exhibition examines the work of Cole in light of Gilliam's guidance.Together their work celebrates history, survival and a personal memory of time and place. Future generations may view the art of Gilliam and Cole as "sites of memory" - objects that exist physically in the present while encompassing deeds and memories of the past.
