Event Description: Marking the first museum exhibition of his work, The Point of View is a retrospective featuring over 80 works ranging in medium from oil on canvas, to watercolor and pencil sketches created over the last 25 years by William Glen Crooks. Interested in exploring the transformation his surrounding environment, Crooks’ luminous landscapes and nostalgic urban scenes function as interpretive windows of daily life across the Western United States. Born and raised in San Diego, and currently working in Imperial Beach, Crooks’ outdoor “snapshots” bring a freshness to the landscape genre by capturing the subtle modalities of atmosphere through the opacity of light and the transparency of shadow. The exhibition opens with a preview reception on Saturday, December 10 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. The reception is complimentary for OMA members and $10 for non-members. The Point of View is guest curated by Scott White of Scott White Contemporary Art, La Jolla. Join artist William Glen Crooks and guest curator Scott White during a Walk and Talk through the exhibition on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. Complimentary with museum admission and free for OMA members, students and military.
