CODA Gallery welcomes art lovers to enjoy the sculptures of Theodore Gall, and a special exhibition of paintings by late artist Trevor Goss through Feb. 24.
Gall began his career in the arts in the mid-sixties as a film animator and continued to broaden his skills as a graphic designer. With his limitless imagination, Gall creates wondrous cast bronze or aluminum sculptures, from large to small, depicting elaborate and unique scenes.
The human form has always been Gall’s primary focus, and he enjoys placing his com- pelling figures in thought-provoking situations. Gall is renowned for his intricate human and an- imal masked heads, which open at least once, leading viewers to discover even more complexity within. Theodore Gall studied at the American Academy of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago, where he continues as a consultant.

Goss’ color field paintings, including retrospective works as well as the last full series of paintings Goss completed before his death in 2012, will be on display and have never been exhibited before.
Goss embraced a world of light. Informed by an unparalleled knowledge of color and technique, Goss’ paintings are not only about light, they are light. Born in South Africa in 1942 and educated in Cape Town and London, Goss was an experimental painter and sculptor. In addition to being a fine artist, he employed his own unique applications of light-refractive, col- or-changing holographic material, producing large scale installations for the entertainment industry.
