JIM HASTINGS is a local artist who has exhibited his work in a variety of venues
over the past eleven years. Hastings' work explores basic human relationships -
husbands and wives, children and parents, teachers and students, caregivers
and the children over whom they watch - the building blocks of community.
Hastings incorporates a personal lexicon of symbolism to illustrate the dynamics
of people's social interactions with one another at their most instinctual base
level; conveying love, violence, joy, tragedy, immaturity, and wisdom.
JOHN SKIBO is a Brooklyn-based artist making his Dallas debut here at Rising
Gallery. Skibo's series "Change of Context" revolves around the ways in which
modern-day organization of housing affects community. When creating his
paintings, Skibo reflects on the process of change within an environment, of
how environment is recontextualized through building or demolishing structures
and how these constant changes to landscape affect community and one's
ability to interact with each other in a meaningful and sustained way.
