Artist Talk: Tom LaDuke

Aug 31, 5:30pm

Join us for a special talk by artist Tom LaDuke on his latest exhibition, Tom LaDuke: run generator on view thru September 18.

Tom LaDuke is a painter of light: light streaming into his Los Angeles studio; light emanating from the cathode ray tube of a television set; light from a film still frozen on the TV. These sources meld together within his meticulously crafted paintings, which are completed with a top layer of impastoed oil that emulates fragments of historic paintings. In short, LaDuke’s work must be seen to be believed and, even then, challenges our perceptual understanding.

Location: Museum auditorium. Limited seating. Doors open 30 minutes prior. Free.

Directed by Harry Shearer, 2010. 98 minutes.
