February 7 – March 1, 2003 -- Artist reception on Friday , February 7th, 5.30 to 7.30 pm
CLIFFORD • SMITH GALLERY is pleased to announce its February exhibition previewing a portion of its Spring 2003 season:

March 4 – March 29, 2003

Chris Teasley – Main Gallery – Opening Reception, Friday, March 7th, 5:30 – 7:30 pm.

Chris Teasley's first exhibition focuses on his current series of paintings that he calls "hyper realist abstraction". The seeming oxymoron is a deft reworking of the trompe l'oeil tradition employing the visual language and precision of a digital age with the inherently organic process of gestural painting. Chris Teasley is currently studying at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts.

In conjunction with the 2003 Southern Graphics Print Conference, Jeff Konigsberg develops a new suite of prints that will be exhibited beside a site specific wall installation. In these new pieces, the artist creates a literal and metaphorical digital/architectural vernacular of scale, volume and time.
