By methods old and new, indelible images are born

Delectable is the word for the high-resolution digital prints by Industry of Light at Joseph Raj Gallery. The Industry's duo -- William Hundley and X. Farrar -- treat chemical and digital photography like the most luscious sort of painting, both on canvas and Somerset Velvet, a radiant white paper. "Negative" represents another stage in the development of their hyper-sophisticated style with giclée digital printing.
Drawing with light, they spool and pool colors, meanwhile creating intense negative spaces with brilliant white bases. Some of their abstractions coalesce into mellifluous streams, others tangle stringlike, still others are cut to machined edges. The color gradations are handled with impeccable care.
Given the appeal of the art and its responsive hanging in this office/exhibit space, this is the first exhibit at the Raj Gallery that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
"Negative" continues through July 20 at Joseph Raj Gallery, 411 Brazos St., No. 99, 708-0565, www.rajgallery.com.
