"Median is the Message" courtesy Morley FIELD NOTES: With local artists facing a late July deadlines for two different projects, the "Signature Public Art Project At Main/Commerce Intersection" and "Centered: Clark County Median Art", I kept thinking of this wheat-paste by Los Angeles based street artist Morley. I spoke to the artist about his prose in 2013 and wrote: "There is a message to his work. It's intimate, even encouraging. It's hopeful, yet not afraid to be sardonic-lite, even in a polite tone. It is not upstaged by the medium of urban space, where it works in tandem and where the artist feels it belongs."

Daniel Habeggar Jack Endewelt Robert Beckmann
Swiss born Daniel Habegger has a way of finding abstract romance in the non-adorned, which speaks of his homeland’s graphic design that uses visual references to bounce off industrial design. But through his paintings Habegger moves away from that tradition of sterile representation by finding life in the façades we read as elegatarian-speak of architects. Habegger has long found beauty in the simplicity of materials, as seen in "River//Stop" during "Reduced Part II" at Clark County Government Center in 2010. “I have never seen a distinction between representational and abstract styles because essentially, my paintings are about the process of painting itself,” once said the artist. - EF Recent Acquisitions" is the current exhibition of recently acquired works for UNLV Marjorie Barrick Museum and Las Vegas Art Museum.
