Marcia Burtt Studio will present “Improbable Landscapes,” an exhibition of 24 works on paper by Jean-Pierre Hébert, from August 30 to October 26, 2008, during this year’s Santa Barbara Off-Axis Biennale.

Hébert’s work will be on display concurrently at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum.

Hébert, who lives in Santa Barbara, has been Artist-In-Residence at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UCSB since 2003. He has pioneered digital art for thirty years and has shown his work nationally and internationally.

He conceives each of his pieces as a careful construction, a vision he expresses in software blooming eventually into visual images. The works on paper are produced on plotters, engravers, or printers, each once and only once.

In this exhibition Hébert will present digital prints and graphite drawings in the format of panoramic landscapes. The drawings are insights into structures found in the worlds of mathematics, theoretical physics, and cosmology—structures that are as real as the observable California landscape.
