Oakland, CA -- (PRWEB) December 22, 2004 -- Joyce Gordon, is giving voice to artists, inspiration to audiences and new energy to the Oakland community." Joyce Gordon has truly lived up to these praises given by Robert Redford in 2003 as her gallery's 2004 season culminates with a phenomenal rising artist, Hugo McCloud, 24, in his first gallery exhibition, Deconstruction Development: Mixed Media on Metal." The exhibit will run from Dec. 9, 2004 -- Jan. 23, 2005.

The Gallery has also been given the exclusive honor of presenting McCloud and other select Bay Area artists at the Sundance Film Festival 2005.

McCloud has created contemporary and cutting edge, urban designs incorporating metal and water. Rust and texture are signature elements in his abstract work on metal. However, in his latest collection, Deconstruction Development", he focuses on the weathered and worn, still using his signature elements on metal in a graceful, soulful, urban aesthetic. Channeling the inspiration from his extensive travels throughout Spain and various African countries, McClouds newest works incorporate a collage of mixed media that provides an opportunity to freely experience and interpret his fluid concepts without social, cultural or creative restrictions. According to McCloud, I do not want to limit the imagination by using titles."
