SOLO DEBUT EXHIBITION
semiosphere
Foch Street
March 25 – April 26, 2023
William Campbell Gallery is pleased to present the solo debut of the gallery’s newest artist, Lee Albert Hill. This inaugural exhibition features a collection of Hill’s most recent series, Semioshphere. Hill describes this term as, “A space where signs, symbols, and writings produce sense and experience – like a gallery space. Unlike an atmosphere where nature and the natural order are determinants.”
Lee Albert Hill is a Texas-based painter, architect, and writer who has been creating art for over 25 years. His works are housed in several corporate collections and he is a two-time finalist for the Hunting Art Prize. His style is defined by a completely unique composition with hard edges and abstraction. His works are geometric yet round, allowing the colors and shapes to lead the eye across the sections of the paintings. The shapes are created by compass, hard edge, and freehand with a seemingly endless layering of texture, color, pattern, and design. Hill’s architectural background shines through these illustrious paintings.
The exhibition’s opening reception will take place the same night as Fort Worth Art Dealers Association, Spring Gallery night on March 25, 2023, from 4 – 9 pm at William Campbell Gallery, 217 Foch Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107. The show will run through April 26, 2023.
Lloyd Martin
Intonate Schemes
Foch Street
March 25 – April 26, 2023
William Campbell Gallery is pleased to present a solo show of Lloyd Martin’s newest collection of 15, vibrant, and evolved paintings. William Campbell Gallery has been showing Lloyd’s work for many years. This newest series of works will debut in the show Intonate Schemes at the gallery’s Foch Street location in Fort Worth’s Foundry District. The paintings are executed in vivid colors, and compositions are laid out in a complex, undulating geometric, yet organic flow. His works maintain the identifiable translucent “under-color which are the ghosts of the central image” says Martin. These lines exude his unique tracing and translucent methodology. Lloyd describes these works as a compilation of the evolution of his work and is the result of his continuous process.
Martin is based in Providence, Rhode Island. His work has been exhibited and reviewed by Art in America magazine, ARTnews magazine, ELLE Décor magazine, several reviews in The New York Times and The Sun, Artful Circle, and Huffington Post to name a few. His art is described in reviews as architectural, painterly, and colorful. This connects with the impetus of Martin’s work, which he states was inspired by the surroundings of his studio, the industrial building, and the impacts of the deterioration of mother nature’s impact. Over the years his colors have evolved to a more synthetic tone, and the evolution to this current palate was an organic process, it all happens in his studio, with paint.

Bernd Haussmann
awe
4935 byers ave
March 25 – April 26, 2023
A collection of over 30 new works by artist Bernd Haussmann. This compilation of new paintings includes mixed media on incised aluminum, oil and ink on canvas, and watercolor on paper. The collection of work is inspired by nature, in Bernd’s words, the meaning of awe is open, undefined, a moment.
AWE
And the Art of the Nature We Are
(Awe and the nurture of art – Awe and the art we are)
The meaning of awe is open, undefined, a moment. It can go in opposite directions, towards awesome or awful.
Awesome and awful are of the same root.
In ART I focus on the awesome, without ignoring the awful.
To be in awe shakes us up.
Awing can be a humbling experience, even frightening, and irritating. Putting things into their place, into perspective, into relation with all things.
Awe is recalibrating the compass towards the truth, towards that which really is, what really matters.
Awe refers to reflection, reason, respect.
Awe opens us up to the greater good, something greater than us.
Awe is expansive.
Awe promotes awareness.
Without open unconditioned awareness there is no ART and no true experiencing of it.
Awe is in all ARTing and in all being.
Awe is present in the nature of all things.
