Rob Wynne: Masquerade

Rob Wynne’s third exhibition with the gallery features a collection of abstract works in poured glass, poured glass text, and ghostly white text images. The works reference the ability to grasp visual stimuli without consciously perceiving them. His long-standing fascination with narrative is evident in the beautiful, transportive, and sometimes camp landscapes he creates for language.

Round About, is a dynamic composition of poured and mirrored glass measuring approximately six feet square which enables the viewer to catch glimpses of him/herself inadvertently interacting with the work. As you enjoy the abstract poured glass installations the observer begins to notice that there are butterflies nestled into some of the work. Then on a skinny wall, one solitary glass teardrop drips three feet down the wall.
