Just in time for the Superbowl, we at Primary Colours are proud to present another wonderful show at the Primary Gallery.

Scienceology is an collaborative show  exhibiting the works of Jeff Geesa and Ryan Szeszycki.

What is Scienceology?
Through a representational approach to abstraction (thoroughly abstract concepts made visible) Scienceology explores the nature of understanding, of “knowledge”, and the attempt thereof.  Scienceology is the exploration of science and pseudo-science and is not Science proper.  It is a holistic, however fragmented and incomplete, picture created in equal parts by pieces of knowledge and unimaginably vast areas of ignorance, like particles clustering into the infinitely dense as space expands moving the clusters farther and farther apart. At a certain level of complexity understanding fails and we are left with simplicity, beauty. Occasionally Culture, Science, and the Brain get a fleeting glimpse of the true nature of things. Simple, beautiful.

Hours/Location

Opening reception is on February 3, 2012 (6-10pm) at The Primary Gallery located within the Murphy Arts Center, second floor, suite 217. Closing reception will occur on February 17, 2012 (6-9pm).

Happy New Year!

Before we completely say good bye to 2011 we have a few mentions to brag about. We made Nuvo’s Year in Review for the Visual Arts and Nuvo honored us with a great review for our Annual Holiday Show Toys.

Here’s to 2012, we promise to make it even more memorable than 2011.

This Friday (10.28.11) is the closing reception for Missed the Boat.  Art is still available for sale as well as the artist, Justin Cooper will be in attendance.

In case you missed it, Justin Cooper’s opening reception was a hit amongst October First Friday visitors at the Primary Gallery. A great crowd and several pieces sold. Not to mention, we had a marathon game of Hungry Hungry Hippos playing away inside the Primary Colours board room.
We look forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as new ones!
