About the Artist
Erik Skjolsvik began as a graphic designer and photo-realist, later rooting himself in the punk rock culture of Dallas's Deep Ellum doing graffiti and murals. This distinctive visual language and large-scale technique led him to paint massive backdrops for touring rock legends such as Pantera and Slayer. This early work, “art for the rock and roll planet” was seen by millions of music fans and lived on the road, behind amplifiers and stage lights. Skjolsvik was the founder and operator of one of the first artist-run alternative art spaces in Fort Worth, called Forest Park Art Space. He also traveled as an art handler, working closely with museums, galleries, and private collections. That experience sharpened his eye, deepened his respect for craftsmanship, and exposed him to an extraordinary range of artistic voices.
For Gallery Night, doors will open at 4:00 PM to view the artwork in the gallery and the closed-dome sequence by James Turrell. The dome will open at 7:05 pm for the warmup lighting sequence. Turrell's sunset program runs from 7:45 pm to 8:15 pm. In the event of rain we will project only the closed-dome sequence, also created by James Turrell.
The program is free, though reservations are required. Click Select Tickets to claim your seat.
We are located at the Trail Head in Clearfork, next to Press Cafe. There is ample public parking nearby.
