Lone Star College-Montgomery’s art department is starting off its spring semester with “The Butterfly Effect,” an exhibit by Joseph L. Kagle, on display Jan. 28 through Feb. 22 in the college’s Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery, located in the Performing Arts Center (Building D).
The community is invited to the opening reception on Monday, January 28, at noon, in the same location. The reception is free and refreshments will be served.
The “Butterfly Effect” showcases Kagle’s insight into how small pieces are compiled together to create large pieces of art and how every piece affects the piece as a whole.
 The “Butterfly Effect” is the subject of artist Joseph Kagle’s recent art exhibition, on display in LSC-Montgomery’s Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery Jan. 28 – Feb. 22. The exhibit showcases a collection of collages, such as this one entitled, “Twelve in One.” |
“It is an artistic way to see what happens with the conscious working of the ‘butterfly effect,’” said Kagle. “I work from pieces to pieces, line to line, color to color, texture to texture, composition to evolving composition, and more than anything, working from brushstroke to brushstroke. I even leave holes in the work, so that the viewer can put him or herself into the work of art.”
Kagle has exhibited in more than 600 national and international exhibitions. Currently, he teaches Art Appreciation and Art History as an adjunct faculty member at Lone Star College-Kingwood.
The Mary Matteson-Parrish Art Gallery is a teaching gallery at LSC-Montgomery, and the presentations and artwork provided are free to the community. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, from 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
