Texas-born, Carolina-based abstract painter Robert Langford brings his longtime interest in art, music and architecture to Sozo Gallery. Join us on November 2, from 6:30-8:30pm for the opening reception of "Syncopation: Shifting Focus." “Syncopation: Shifting Focus,” features a series of all-new paintings in which Langford explores the ways we curate our own sensory experiences within the larger context of a shared urban environment. Vibrant color combinations slip into intricate, layered structures that both create order and challenge it. The show’s title refers to the effect of shifting the emphasis on a beat within a musical composition. It’s a brief, but welcome disruption; a fresh take on the status quo.
