Two collections of paintings and drawings—Matthew Langley's "Simple, Difficult," and Alyssa Dennis's "Structures"—are currently on exhibit in the University of Baltimore School of Law's Gallery of Art, open to the public through May 12.
Langley, based in Washington D.C., produces works using a series of divergent strategies—one of building, the other of reducing. A graduate of the Corcoran School of Art, he has held exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe. This year he will be part of a national traveling exhibition on process and linear images, visiting art spaces in Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, St. Louis and Brooklyn. He has received critical recognition in Art in America, The Washington Post, Washington City Paper and elsewhere.
Dennis lives in Baltimore and is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has developed from the perspective of an archeologist interpreting a network of alchemies between growth and decay in a contemporary urban setting. Dennis has exhibited in Baltimore, New York City, Philadelphia and Tokyo. Among her awards is the 2004 Maryland Artist Equity Foundation Grand Prize.
