  • Lavender’s Landscape

    Crosstown Arts Galleries 1350 Concourse Ave., Suite 280, Memphis, TN, United States

    Anthony Lee
    Latex and Urethane on Panel, Triptych, 2017

    Composing a triptych, these works by artist Anthony Lee are a continuous, long-scale, lavender tonal gradient, equal in light value but demonstrating the effect of desaturation. Viewed from left to right, it begins as  intense lavender, and then through gradation it finishes into its grey equivalent. This adds a fourth-dimensional sense of movement or transfer within the works, allowing the viewer’s eyes to calmly experience the space in the works as they seemlessly shift color.

    Twenty-five artists converge at Crosstown Arts to create original works that explore today’s America.

What originally began as a community of diverse Memphis dance artists has since grown to include local filmmakers, musicians, and artists.
