Bryce Hammond: Second Chance

Bryce Hammond’s first show in Atlanta after almost eight years is a presentation entitled “Second Chance,” featuring a selection of works that the artist describes as “beautiful and broken.” Giving new context to old memories, Hammond explores the effects of permanence and impermanence on a person’s life through creations that incorporate details from his own classrooms (like hall passes and calendars) with architectural components. Including artworks like Hanging Deck, Reims Cathedral and the acrylic and polyurethane painting on reclaimed wood called Roadside Motel, Mayenne Cathedral,Hammond’s presentation poses an allegory for today’s society through a series of colorful, highly detailed, and visually captivating works.
