The opening reception for Rhinoceros by Darin Latimer is on Friday, September 19 from 6 to 9pm at Elephant Room Gallery. Rhinoceros is a distillation of digesting conflict without specifically naming what the conflict is. The works include intensely contorted, densely detailed 'Heads' and looser, more gently colored compositions that the artist confesses come as close to pure abstraction as any he has ever made. Darin's work continues his explorations into complicated images that originate as digital drawings and collage before graduating into paintings executed in acrylic, Krink Ink and occasionally, Flex Seal. The title of the exhibition reflects his mood over our National turmoil. Debuting nearly 40 new paintings, some assemblage sculpture and dozens of small works on paper, this is the artist's 8th solo exhibition. Meet the artist, view the exhibition and enjoy refreshments.

The gallery is also hosting an artist talk with Darin Latimer on Saturday, September 20 at 2pm. Guests will be able to hear directly from the artist about the process and intention behind his current solo exhibition, Rhinoceros.
