Songs and Dances by Chuck Lathrop
November 3 - November 25, 2017
Reception: November 3, 2017; 6 - 9pm
Songs and Dances is my first show in Texas. The four large un-stretched canvases were
created using the principle of automatic mark-making which I have utilized in most of
my work for over 20 years. In this method of working I try to get out of my own way by
eliminating critical thinking while painting. The paintings in Songs and Dances are titled
with the names of major and minor Shakespearean characters some chosen by chance
and others suggested by the paintings.
