ANNOUNCEMENT
Carnelian Art Gallery, located at 221 King St., Suite 102, in downtown Madison, is pleased to announce its July exhibition, titled “Of Clowns and Artistic Depth.” This is a solo exhibition featuring works by Madison artist Douglas Hyslop.
Of Clowns and Artistic Depth is slated to kick off with an opening reception at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 10. The show’s end date is Friday, July 31.
As always at Carnelian Art Gallery, admission on opening night is free, and light refreshments will be served.
At 6 p.m. on opening night, Hyslop will deliver an artist talk regarding his background, technique and the themes that inform his artworks, which are large-scale oil paintings that depict circus figures, mainly clowns, and settings.
“I have painted in Madison for many years,” says Hyslop, who is a Madison native. “This is my first opportunity to exhibit in a conventional ‘for sale’ gallery in my hometown. I appreciate Evan (Bradbury) for giving me the opportunity.”
Hyslop holds degrees in psychology and food chemistry, both obtained from the University of Wisconsin- Madison. He works as an artist on the side.
