“Early explorations gave way and evolved to what will be on display at the gallery this October,” said Hinsche. “Original versions of this alphabet bear no resemblance whatsoever to the final conclusion. Initially, these letters were far more complicated, over-designed, and overworked, but I understood that I had to find the most basic element in each letterform. I gradually reduced a letter to the very minimalist element that defined that letter at the risk of losing the letterform altogether.”

“In reality, that is what this exercise is all about,” Hinsche added. “Each letterform happens as should; whether or not anyone sees the letterform in the final rendering is unimportant.”

The Hinsche exhibit will be the first show in the new Dana L. Wiley Gallery space, which has more than doubled in size offering more exhibit space and better opportunities for artists and the community to experience art. The Gallery has an ambitious schedule of relevant and exciting exhibits through 2020.

About Gary W. Hinsche

Gary W. Hinsche is an accomplished painter, sculptor, and graphic designer. He studied design at Santa Monica College, Art Center College of Design and California State University at Long Beach. His work has always been grounded in the conceptual/minimalist space. He was first influenced by Craig Ellwood, a celebrated architect and artist. While teaching at Yale, Ellwood developed a close relationship with Josef Albers, who encouraged him to paint. To some extent, that link back to Albers has had a profound influence on Hinsche and the way he approaches his own work. Meeting Frank Gehry, becoming friends and working on a few of his amazing projects has also shaped Hinsche’s work. Hinsche’s work has been honored with gold medals from the New York and Los Angeles Art Directors Clubs, AIGA, the Mead Annual Report Show, and has been featured in Print, Graphics, and Communications Arts. He served as president of the Los Angeles Art Directors Club, sat on the advisory board of AIGA/LA and served as Adjunct Professor at the Art Center College of Design.
