Oh, it’s not enough for Alain Gerard Clement to draw cool stuff and hang it on the wall. No, he’s got to show everyone up–smoke the proverbial asses of artists near and far by employing a time-consuming extra step–the photogenic technique/process of W.H.F. Talbot straight outta the 1800s. Clement turns his drawings—of natural, medical, Medici and warring inspirations—into negatives, exposes them on photo-sensitive paper and processes for the unique pieces featured in Alain Gerard Clement: A Decade of Photogenic Drawings, the latest exhibition at the Holly Johnson Gallery, 1411 Dragon St. The show opens with a reception with the artist from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and runs through July 22. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. Call 214-369-0169 or visit hollyjohnsongallery.com.
