	Greetings! 

The Studio on Slough Road is proud to present our second showing of the 2011 season--the recent works of William Hemmerdinger. William Hemmerdinger 

combines mysticism with lyrical rhythm, symbolism with construction and layering with logistics. I became aware of his work through local Cape Cod legend Jamie Wolf. When I visited William's studio, I found his work deeply moving, layered and disturbing in a powerful way. It is extremely personal and universal at the same time. His attention to detail and his magical command of surface creates a luminosity that radiates out from the surface of the painting. His use of color to bring the viewer into a conversation is punctuated with a private vocabulary of marks and gestures that produces a déjà vu reaction in the viewer. It appears to be from some long, lost time or place one might recognize, but seems out of one's grasp. He has a message and it is spoken in a thousand tongues. 



Please join us for the opening or come in at your convenience to view these brilliant works. For hours, please consult our website: www.studioonsloughroad.com

The pigments are "floated" on and applied in a series of coats ranging from water-heavy first layers, to syrup-like emulsions, and followed by layerings of paste-consistency flourishes. The pasty imprimatur strokes are usually for bringing out detail tightening the composition with "brights," and capping it off. The paintings are created in both a vertical easel position and on a horizontal table top, which changes the angle of the blow depending on the consistency of the pigment. William Hemmerdinger.
