Artspace111 - Future Tales | Jim Malone and Big Bend | A111 Artists
Both Exhibitions on Display: February 3 - March 19, 2022
Artspace111 presents Future Tales by Jim Malone. Most well-known for his alluring
works on paper that feature impeccable illustrations of nature and national parks,
Jim Malone has worked in a variety of mediums in his extensive 50-year career. This
exhibition features works composed of elaborate representations of historic marker
signs, geological formations, and nostalgic architecture. He incorporates text and
collage to create spontaneous expressions. Referencing his time in Big Bend and
other national parks, Malone's compositions lure the viewer in with visual promises
of falling asleep under the stars, hiking tall mountains, and visiting historic
landmarks. In Future Tales Malone looks to his past Big Bend adventures while
raising hope for future excursions. The work becomes an adventure for him and
the possibility of adventures for the viewer.
"Malone's intuitive draftsmanship flows freely on paper often inspired by the
conical romantic landscapes of the 19th century in a nuanced, surreal form. These
landscapes expand off the canvas and transport viewers to vast deserts and
dreamlike mountainous regions. This exhibition is no different in its ability
to enchant and inspire. The work reaches beyond the paper with collage and mixed
media both calling our attention to the quiet and serene." - Margery Gossett,
Gallery Owner, Artspace111
Along with Future Tales by Jim Malone, Artspace111 will also present Big Bend,
a group exhibition of select Artspace111 artists whose work has been inspired
by the Texas National Park. This exhibition will be in the great gallery
exhibiting works by Dennis Blagg, Jill Johnson, Layla Luna, Winter Rusiloski,
and more!
Artspace111 will host an artist reception on Thursday, February 3, 2022, from
5-8pm. This reception will provide an opportunity for guests and patrons to meet
and visit with the artists. The gallery requests that guests RSVP via Eventbrite.
Located in downtown Fort Worth, Artspace111 specializes in the exhibition of
Contemporary Texas Art. In 1980, twin brothers Daniel and Dennis Blagg established
Artspace111, converting a historic 1911 building into artist studios and a small
gallery space in order to support and celebrate the work of local artists. In the
years since, the studio has evolved into a celebrated and distinguished 3,000
square foot art gallery. In addition to the year-round schedule of solo and
group exhibitions, the Artspace111 team designs corporate and private art
collections for clients throughout the country and hosts special events in
its distinctive gallery and sculpture gardens. Artspace111 is dedicated to
making contemporary art approachable to individuals of all ages.
Artspace111 is located east of Downtown Fort Worth at Hampton Street and
Weatherford. Artspace111 is currently open Wednesday - Friday from 11am to 5pm,
Saturday 11-2pm or by appointment. Artspace111 requires face masks in the facility
and requests that all guests maintain social distancing guidelines. To schedule
