Artist Talk: Bill Shelley, "CADENCE"

CADENCE

Artist Talk by Bill Shelley

Saturday, July 12, 2p

CADENCE is a visualization of musical themes, ideas and conventions used throughout western music history, from medieval times to the present. This series is an exercise in giving physical shape to musical structures.

Through a series of drawings and paintings, artist Bill Shelley has illustrated nine musical cadences and four symphonic movements, using visual elements such as symmetry/asymmetry, balance, harmony, pattern, rhythm, unity/variety, movement and proportion. 

Join us for Bill Shelley’s Artist Talk, where he will speak to, and demonstrate, the connections explored between visual art and musical elements.
