What: ARCHI-TEXTURES:
An exhbit of 3 Young AZ Artists Working with Found and Unusual Media

Where: RLV Gallery @ Rancho Linda Vista in Oracle, AZ

When: Exhibit Reception: August 27th, 3-7 p.m.
Exhibit Dates: August 1–31, 2006.



One person's throwaway can be another person's treasure. The three talented young artists featured in RLV Gallery's August exhibit ARCHI-TEXTURES find startling images in a range of textured surfaces, such as pockmarked urban walls, graffiti, torn street posters and wallpaper and grainy old prints.

Toni Gentilli photographs the rich accidental markings found on industrial walls and other urban surfaces and distills them into evocative and surprising formal abstractions.

Scott Murphy creates delicate, nuanced and gently ironic images using 19th and early 20th century photographic techniques that touch on the intersection of technology and other-worldly visitation.

Fausto Fernandez layers graffiti tags and street iconography with torn posters, wallpaper and tar in his mixed-media assemblages, whose themes concern the intersection of public and private spheres.

ARCHI-TEXTURES will run from August 1st through the end of the month. The public is invited to an exhibit reception to be held on Sunday, August 27th, from 3 to 7 p.m. RLV Gallery, which is located at Rancho Linda Vista in Oracle, AZ, is open to the public on Sundays, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Entry is free.
