The work of Jon D. Payne
Now through March 28, The Gallery at IU East, Richmond -- "Patterns/Process" will be on display in The Gallery, located in Whitewater Hall, today through March 28. Artist Jon D. Payne says his grid paintings incorporate imagery deduced from organic forms, like rocks and dried pieces of clay, and function as a spreadsheet of one-shot, individual paintings grouped together. Once the organic properties are placed within a geometric system, a dialogue of patterns, both symmetrical and asymmetrical, typify this reciprocal relationship. Currently, Payne is an art instructor at the University of Dayton in advanced drawing, foundation drawing and figure drawing.
