Writing on the wall - Matt Phillips and Josef Kristofoletti

Artists Matt Phillips and Josef Kristofoletti are bringing together layers of graphic patterns, color and space for their exhibition at Redux Contemporary Art Center. The painters, who met at Boston University graduate school, focus on illusion and object. Phillips' paintings span 18 feet, with extreme attention to surface detail. Kristofoletti will be at Redux painting a mural onto the Redux wall as part of his works referencing the CERN Accelerator. The exhibition, The Sun Machine is Coming Down, will open tonight at 6 p.m. and will be at Redux until Dec. 13. For more information, call 843-722-0697 or visit the Web site.
