Inspired by the big Dallas skies, this collection for 2828 Harwood creates a serene and elegant visual language. Nothing says big quite like the 15ft by 15ft framed canvas by Texas local Roi James that hangs boldly in this workspace lobby. This feature piece sets the direction of light, reflection, and shadow-driven forms for the art collection.
Radient Horizons
Roi’s practice replicates light and shadow play through deliberate manipulation of pigment, creating a connection to the shifting atmospheres of the Texas horizons from dawn to dusk. Commissioned specifically for the scale of the lobby, the artwork unfolds through three canvases framed and presented together on-site, forming a cohesive and unified artwork. His piece emphasizes scale, materiality, and the perceptual experience of light and color, adding a dynamic feel to the lobby.
The local skyline interpretation evolves as viewers move throughout the building, from abstract to literal connections. Lauren Bost’s semi-abstract artworks balance optical effects, depth, vibration, color, and play of light through layers of oil paint, blurred, controlled, and with vibrant brush strokes. Her art resembles the lines found in the skyline portrayed in an abstract form. Photographs of Dallas’ architecture, portrayed through strong geometry, the use of light and shadow, and reflection, evolve the abstract interpretation of the narrative to the local connection. Together, the collection tells the story of the Dallas skyline through various forms, creating a unified and intriguing design.
