You are all probably already aware of Sterling Hundley and his wonderful work. He’s one of the best with his interesting perspectives and beautiful painterly style. But what you probably don’t know about is his upcoming solo gallery show opening September 4th at Ghosprint Gallery (220 West Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia 23220), where he is debuting a whole new style of art.

Hundley’s new body of work, entitled Emergent, evolves from his noted career in illustration.  His title derives from the scientific term emergent, referring to the process of complex systems that are composed of lesser parts.

Hundley’s creative process begins with a  3″ x 3″ monotype, which he then develops into a sequence of progressively larger and more complex works based on a grid of square panels.  The new works use radically different techniques while further revealing Hundley’s intense skill as a conceptual image-maker.  The images are suffused with his signature wit and layered meanings.

Pretty cool, huh? Check out his blog to learn more.
