How do you relieve anxiety? Drink wine? Smoke a joint and watch TV? Not the late Eugene Andolsek. Nearly every night for some 50 years, Andolsek created intricate geometric patterns on graph paper, using a compass to create arcs and circles and filling in spaces with colorful inks he mixed in an eyedropper. His creations--which he didn't consider art--look like some mix of Spirograph and fractal picture, orderly and oddly soothing. Kaleidoscope, a free exhibition of drawings culled from the thousands he created, hangs through March 20 at Pollock Gallery in SMU's Hughes-Trigg Student Center, 3140 Dyer St. Call 214-768-4439.
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Sat., Feb. 6, 1-5 p.m. Starts: Feb. 1. Continues through March 20, 2010
