Mnemonic: Visual Echoes features four abstract artists who use color and composition as a catalyst for creating images that map memory, thought, and experience. A mnemonic device is a system set in place to aid memory and prompt thought toward a specific place and time. These artists use elements of color, line and shape to surface memories within themselves and each viewer to create a collective reflection of the world around us. Through their respective studio practices, Frank Juarez, Andrea Larson, Chuck Wagon and Dave Watkins create rules and methods to structure this silent, veiled exploration. Each one has developed specific guidelines and systems to push each painting or drawing to a new, liberated consciousness revealing an awareness of the mind to the connectivity of collective contemplation.
