YOUNGSTOWN, OHIO.- The Butler Institute of American Art presents Stephen Hannock: A Survey, on view through December 30, 2006. This exhibition covers 25 years of Hannock’s work. The show will examine the artist's study of luminosity and follow the introduction of text into the work in the early 1990s, through the current day. The most recent work will include three large "Vistas with Text" that have become the artist's signature paintings. (This piece, a commission from the rock star Sting celebrating the cultural renaissance in his hometown of Newcastle, England, will be viewed for the first time at The Butler.) The exhibition will also include digital work on paper from Nash Editions in Los Angeles, where the artist has been working since 1992. Some of these images were behind the Academy Award winning special effects seen in "What Dreams May Come," a1998 afterlife adventure starring Robin Williams.
