This exhibition introduces the work of Washington DC artist Matthew Langley to the Philadelphia area. Langley is a graduate of The Corcoran School of Art and has exhibited extensively in the DC area, including a recent solo exhibition at the DCAC (District of Columbia Arts Center).

In this focused selection of new works on paper, Langley mines an "order versus chance" contradiction apparent in his process to create his composition. Langley states: "I feel that the building, tearing down, and rebuilding is the true core of what painting is and should be. The image making that comes from this strategic approach to the true core of painting production will be clear, concise and rational. I would be foolish to believe that the end result would be dull or repetitious."
