SELECTED VISUAL EXHIBITS

REVIEW of invisible.other @ New American Art Union [ Portland, Oregon] April 1-29, 2007
..."invisible.other" is a big bear hug to the ephemeral, albeit a thoughtful expression of that quality. As the title suggests, Norris is interested in exploring how people see art, so he's selected works that are so indirect as to virtually disappear or, in some instances, remain invisible to the eye. ... Richard Chartier similarly plays with the notion of visibility, and the drawn image, with his three drawings. "Reference 1, 2, 3" consists of pencil drawings that were erased and then painted over in white acrylic. Even after being erased vigorously, tiny vestiges of the initial marks are still visible. Some artworks, after all, are hard to get rid of.... Each of these works implores the viewer to step closer and to adjust the eyes.
