This two-person exhibit will reflect the visions of two well-known abstract artists – one who creates in two-dimensions and the other in 3-dimensional sculpture. Derek Hambly from Stoughton, Wisconsin creates work in oil and acrylic. The symbols he uses in his powerful abstract paintings were derived from the landscape work he had done in his early years as a painter. His work has evolved from landscape to abstract to symbolic and is a major search for elements that will create the most powerful painting ever. Guy Bellaver of St. Charles, Illinois works in many sculptural mediums, but most recently, in bronze or painted steel. His work ranges from "tabletop" scale to monumental pieces over 18 feet tall. Through his fascination with positive/negative space, his sculptures attempt to stretch the physics of the medium that he is working in to occupy those spaces. His work has been displayed in civic, corporate, residential, and university settings throughout the United States.
