Joel Sampson - Thursday, February 2, 2012

7-9pm, Center for the Visual Arts, Denton
Free for members; $3 for guests

Joel Sampson is a Dallas artist working with digital imaging, collage and mixed media. Focused on geometric abstraction and industrial art between the wars, he is interested in design, color and texture.

According to Joel, "My work often contains a combination of technical, scientific and natural images. Whimsey is an important element of my work. My photographic digital images are of urban landscape from large and small cities. I have been photographing more people lately, especially at art openings and in a self-portrait loo series. Many of my digital images end up as collage elements in my mixed media paintings."
