Featured artists: Rocky Horton and Chris Scarborough
In his most recent studio practices, Rocky Horton utilizes different dilutions of photographic developer chemicals to paint onto exposed photographs. With these “photo paintings” Horton is commenting on the precarious relationship these mediums have had with each other since the invention of photography in the nineteenth century. Horton earned an MFA in Painting from the College of Creative Arts at West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. His work has been included in numerous exhibitions, including shows at Cheekwood Museum of Art and Zeitgeist Gallery. Horton is currently assistant professor of art at Lipscomb University in Nashville. To learn more about Rocky Horton and to view some of his work visit www.rockyhorton.com.
Chris Scarborough works in photography and drawing to create meticulously detailed images of people who have been manipulated according to the exaggerated characteristics of Japanese anime. His most recent work has developed from this foundation to include the examination of cartoon violence. Scarborough received a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, Georgia. His work has been included in several national exhibitions, including solo shows at the Foley Gallery in New York City and the Gescheidle Gallery in Chicago. Scarborough’s work is also part of numerous private and public collections, including the Tennessee State Museum.
