Chris Duncan: Our Love Will Still Be There
Romer Young Gallery is pleased to present, OUR LOVE WILL STILL BE THERE, the gallery's first solo exhibition with Oakland artist Chris Duncan. There will be an opening reception on Thursday, June 29, 2017, from 6-9pm. OUR LOVE WILL STILL BE THERE combines a series of earth rubbings the artist made during a recent trip to Zion National Park as well as a series of long term sun exposures made in and on windows, skylights, and rooftops in Oakland and Los Angeles, California. The works are steeped in processes reliant on the passing of time and the effect of natural forces as primary mark making devices. Delicately layered with the artist's own subtle interventions - hand-painting and sewn areas - the poetic works allude to historical aspects of painting and mark making, while at the same time, honoring the power and humbling nature of time, the sun, the wind and the rain. I believe that in years to come When the mountains have crumbled to dust And all the oceans have all run dry And the cars in the street turn to rust. Our love will still be there Our love will still be there. When the rain from the sky don't fall And the stars they don't shine at night When all the nations have made their wars And the soldiers have all had their fight. Our love will still be there Our love will still be there. I'll always love you No matter what comes in our path I'll always need you Like I have done in the past I'll always be there In your ups and in your downs I'll even love you if the world stops going 'round. So when the days and the nights are joined And the baby does no longer cry When man has been to the ocean depth And reached out his arms for the sky. Our love will still be there Our love will still be there. I'll always love you No matter what comes in our path I'll always need you Like I have done in the past I'll always be there In your ups and in your downs I'll even love you if the world stops going 'round. So when the days and the nights are joined And a baby does no longer cry When man has been to the ocean depths And reached out his arms for the sky. Our love will still be there Our love will still be there Our love will still be there Our love will still be there. -THE TROGGS 1966 For additional information, please contact the gallery at 415.550.7483 or email info@romeryounggallery.com.
