Will Klemm: Light Works

Opening reception on Saturday, November 7 from 6 to 8pm

In this show, Klemm’s large scale, richly textured canvases toggle between the real and the imagined, with an emphasis on light. Light quality changes through the day as the sun tracks and as the seasons change. Klemm's goal is to make light tangible and convincing, but also to free it from its strictly logical or descriptive function. He hopes the viewer will see these images as a kind of doorway to meditation, or daydreaming, or flight of fancy, as he does.  

Klemm lives between Austin, TX and Taos, NM. He has watched this sleepy town change to a metropolitan city. His paintings depict his travels with poetic evocations of the Southwestern landscape, from Texas to California.

Established in 1980 and located in a 120 year old historic house, the Wally Workman Gallery specializes in emerging and collected talent. Known for encouraging their artists' professional and creative growth, the gallery has advanced local artists onto the national stage for decades. It is the combination of these long-standing relationships and the potential of new partnerships that make the gallery's program dynamic and accessible. The gallery has two stories of exhibition space where one can view the 50+ artists currently represented, including the contemporary talents of Sarah Ferguson, Joyce Howell and Will Klemm as well as the figurative work of Patrick Puckett and America Martin. 

Parking is available in the lot behind the gallery, accessed from the alley off Blanco and Harthan Streets. There you will find two dedicated spots as well as other parking options. Unrestricted street parking is available on Blanco St. and parking is allowed after 7pm on Harthan St.
