ARTHOUSE on R is proud to present the art exhibition “Latitude/Longitude” at ARTHOUSE Gallery on historic R Street in Sacramento, October 11 – November 4, 2024.

Please join us as we feature Brad Morlock's work at ARTHOUSE on R Gallery, 1021 R Street in Sacramento. The opening reception, which includes an opportunity to meet the artist, will be held on Saturday, October 12th, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

“Latitude/Longitude” features large format pieces Morlock has created using brick charcoal and printmaking paper that challenge value and perspective.

Morlock's work has won numerous awards, including “Best in Show” at the Union Gallery at Sacramento State University and three “Awards of Merit” at the California State Fair Art Show. His work has been featured in galleries all over Northern California, culminating in the solo show “Into the Woods” at ARTHOUSE on R in 2019. Since then, he has created several commissioned works that are part of curated collections all over California.

He is best known for creating immersive landscapes that look photorealistic from a distance, but closer inspection reveals the textures and values used to create the image. “My hope is that people will approach my work as a type of doorway, almost as if you can choose to continue being in the room or walk into the drawing and be transported to the place it depicts.”

You'll find expansive landscapes mixed with classic depictions of famous sculptures. When asked why he depicts these sculptures: “It's every generation's responsibility to look at past generations and determine what's heirloom and what's trash. It would be a shame to lose some of the better lessons those who came before us taught us.”

In addition to the Gallery Show, ARTHOUSE resident artists will open their studios to the public on Second Saturday, October 12th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
