TL Lange studied drawing and painting at
Winthrop University at Rock Hill, SC. A After a brief
stint in Atlanta, he moved to North Carolina
where he maintained his home and atelier until
his untimely death at the age of 36.
According to Lange, he started his work with
"concrete visions", and actually began several
paintings at one time. He tried to allow some
form of synchronicity to determine his next
decision. As the artist said, "I make marks for the
sake of themselves. I create error that I find
attractive in all of our everyday lives. However, I
leave it hanging three marks shy of discernment.
What I mean by that is that I choose that it not
be understood or to be scrutinized by its detail or
its adherence to reality -- only to be seen for its
sense and its nostalgic response without my
personal sentiment."
It is important for the viewer to find out the story
TL Lange had identified. He wanted them to
take the images he had given and create their
own narrative. It was his feeling that we all see
what we want to see based upon our
experience.
A highly skilled artist, TL Lange had exhibited in
numerous, prominent galleries in his young
career. A condensed list includes Artworks Gallery
(Salt Lake City, UT), Art Works (Atlanta, GA),
Human Arts Gallery (Atlanta, GA), Landsdell
Gallery (Atlanta, GA) and Art Dallas (Dallas, TX),
Mary Bell Galleries (Chicago, IL) and Foster White
Galleries (Seattle, WA).
TL Lange's remarkable artwork can be found
in many private, corporate, and public
collections including Wentworth Galleries, Larson
Juhl Frames, and Saks Fifth Avenue Corporation
and Microsoft Corporation.
TL Lange passed away on January 23rd, 2002.
