BNSF Gallery - Traces
Exhibition on Display: January 7 - February 26, 2022 | Works by Marilyn Jolly and Norman Kary
I watch the weather, the time passing- increasingly limited time, the seasons changing -
shifting light, my thoughts. So much internal dialogue- old conversations, to do lists,
theories of thought, new ideas/old ideas. I try to pay attention to what my mind thinks
and also the way it thinks. These things interest me and have integrated into my studio
practice. My practice of meditation, my observation of nature and the nature of growth
and change, my interest in the way ordering and structure affect my day to day activities,
all come to play in my work. I respond to materials that reflect a sense of history, use,
personal mark, and I aspire to communicate ideas with economy, when possible. It is an
ongoing process that I am still refining.

Central Gallery - The Gravities
Exhibition on Display: January 7 - 29, 2022 | Works by John C Kelley
Trying to Describe "The Work" in 2022: In writing artist statements, I've had trouble with
the word "examine." To me, it implies order, purpose, and intellectual curiosity. I'm
afraid that isn't the way the work happens at all. Lately, I feel the better word is
"encounter" –my work "encounters" technology, family, identity, personal darkness and
the American South. "Encounter" suggests that the meeting is unexpected, maybe hostile.
Making the work is more like that. I hope that the experience of the work is like that
too-like finding a wild animal in a suburban front yard: out-of-place, somehow beautiful
and feral. So then, I guess, the work is like a void - and I'm describing the edges of it.
Let me explain: Sometimes, after it gets dark I'll stand in the backyard while...

Marlene/Spencer Hays Gallery - Both Sides Now
Exhibition on Display: January 7-29, 2022 | Works by David Alcantar, Gerald
Bell, Judge Bermes, Kim Brewer, Glenn Downing, Jackdaw, Sara Lee Hughes, MOM, Christy Stallop, and Camille Woods
Both Sides Now features the art of local and regional artists whose stories and storytelling
abilities are prominent features and decidedly ingrained in their work. With a heavy nod to
the Folk genre and a steady western landscape and still life thread tying pieces of work
together, this series provides a fresh look and a contemporary equivalent to art of the
West. The selected artwork is progressive in visual identity and the stories and intentions
behind the art and artist. The more graphic and often colorful flat layers seen in MOM and
Kim Brewer's work add a lovely contrast to the more sculpturally painted works of Sara Lee
Hughes...

Cufflink Art is pleased to announce our affiliation with Fort Worth-based artist
Adam Fung. The gallery will be showcasing Fung's work for their upcoming group

in Antarctica and numerous visits to Far West Texas and New Mexico. His paintings
can be found in public art collections at Microsoft, South Bend Museum of Art,
and the U.S. Department...

Texas Artists Coalition - Artist Spotlight - Greg Brown
Greg Brown was born in Washington, D.C., in 1969, but grew up in the Dallas area.
From 1993-2001 he worked for Neiman Marcus at the downtown Dallas location as
the Men's Designer Sportswear specialist. When he left the store, he had many
Gianni Versace ties he didn't want to discard, especially since Versace had been
murdered in 1997. In 2007, Greg had the idea to paint with the ties. Thru
trial-and-error, what has been created is a collection of Versace Tie Paintings.
Each canvas is painted in correspondence to a certain tie and then the tie is
permanently attached. Most importantly, each tie is pre-death, which Gianni
himself had a hand in creating. As time goes by, though, these ties are becoming
less accessible. Over the years, Greg's paintings have been shown in many
galleries and featured in the American Airlines' Admirals Clubs in Miami and Chicago.

Rebecca Low Sculpture Gallery, Inc - Get Your Art On
Featured Artist: Guest Artist: Joe Allred
Lawrence E. "Joe" Allred, PhD began creating metal sculptures later in life,
in 2015 after a long career in biomedical science and academia. Joe always had
artistic energy. In his early life and university education his creative outlets
were in writing fiction and live theater. He was the only science student at
the university who also had a drama scholarship partially funding his
undergraduate education. Joe's sculptures begin when he chooses or fabricates
steel pieces with interesting properties: size, shape, texture, and mass. He
lives with them, looking at them sometimes for months.

TranSystems Gallery - SOMOS
Exhibition on Display: November 5 - December 11, 2021 | Works by Gerardo Macías Robles
As a first generation Mexican-American, my culture and heritage has directly
influenced me to use my artistic ability as a mediator by exposing some
hardships that many north and central immigrants face. Somos is a body of work
that pays homage to immigrants, many of whom have sacrificed everything for
their families to have an opportunity at achieving the American Dream. The
definition of the American Dream has evolved and differs from person to person,
but for myself and many others, the goal remains – build a legacy. By bearing
fruits in unfavorable conditions, we ("first-gens") are tasked with reaping
those fruits to then bear more.

Gallery Three - The Deconstructed Self
Exhibition on Display: November 5 - December 12, 2021 | Works by Natalie Christensen
In 2014 I moved from the state of Kentucky to New Mexico leaving my lifelong
home and my 25-year career as a psychotherapist behind. While it was an exciting
moment it was also a time of questioning and reflection. Like many artists who
have come to New Mexico, I was immediately drawn to the distinctive Southwestern
light. The beauty of the natural environment is evident to most people; however,
my interest was to explore the more banal peripheral landscapes that often go
unnoticed by the casual observer. I began by photographing color fields and
geometric shapes. I was interested in the way light and shadow could spark
complex narratives, and I quickly became aware that these isolated moments in
the suburban landscape were rich...

Brock/Visiting Angels Gallery-Illustrations from the Book of Horse
Exhibition on Display: November 5 – December 11, 2021 | Works by Rick Steinburg
In my series Illustrations From the Book of Horse I am making illustrations for
an imaginary reference book on all things horse. Some of the pieces illustrate
the adventures and mishaps of characters that developed along the way. I also
did pieces that illustrate the birth of the first horse, pieces that refer to
Texas horse culture, a piece that illustrates a second rate Wild West show, and
pieces that illustrate the coming of the automobile and the reaction of horses
and riders to its arrival. While these scenes are fictional, they are closely
related to our reality; pulled from history and my family's Texas experience,
sourced from my elders. Many of these stories involve humor, while others
connect the past with the ever changing world we live in.

Frost Gallery - Olive Pemberton: A Century of Beauty
Exhibition on Display: September 24 - December 11, 2021 | Works by Olive Pemberton
This exhibition recognizes the accomplishments of Olive Pemberton in a
retrospective survey of her career work. Pemberton studied and exhibited with
artists of the Fort Worth Circle. Her work ranges stylistically from realism
to abstraction. Her admiration for artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, Paul
Gauguin, and Amadeo Modigliani can be seen in some paintings as she explores
adaptations of technique, color and composition. Some of her signature works
are highly abstract, with vertical veiled panels of color setting off simple
abstracted figures and trees in the landscape. She most often painted with oil
and casein, but also enjoyed sculpting with clay. The exhibition is primarily
drawn from the Pemberton family collection, but other works from...

Fort Works Art - New Meanings
A Solo Exhibition by Austin Uzor - Exhibition Dates: September 11, 2021 - November 6, 2021
Fall Gallery Night & Opening Reception: Saturday, September 11, 2021, 6 - 9 PM
Austin Uzor is a rising talent whose moody and atmospheric works are quietly
revolutionizing the potential of contemporary painting. In his first solo
exhibition, post-graduate school, Uzor transforms the gallery's entire first
floor into a site-specific installation by building an immersive environment
out of painting and sculpture. For New Meanings, he reimagines a new space
that exists beyond the confines of the self and the different worlds that we
all move around in. In the current climate, where all our cultural identities
have been thrown into flux, his work touches on the core of what the American
dream is and what it means.

Shelia and Houston Hill Courtyard Gallery - New Sculptures
The Fort Worth Community Arts Center welcomes two distinct emerging artists Jihye Han
and Ben Muñoz to the Shelia and Houston Hill Courtyard Gallery.
Ben Muñoz's Compacted with Care examines the duality of the Muñoz's life as a husband,
father, and artist. The single sculpture is constructed from the Muñoz's printmaking
woodcuts and figuratively denotes life's building blocks' in which the artist reconfigures
balancing between home life and artistic pursuits. The assembled sculpture resembles the
wooden blocks formations he and his children build together during playtime. Jihye Han's
Breaking Ground utilizing clay, cedar, and porcelain explores themes of separation and
lonesomeness, drawing from the artist's Korean heritage and North and South Korea division.
Breaking Ground consists of two site-specific structures designed specifically for the
Courtyard Gallery.

Fort Worth Public Art - When Air Becomes Sky
The Animalis Works team, artists Dharmesh Patel and Autumn Ewalt, was inspired by the
revitalization and conservation of Northwest Community Park as an ecosystem. Particularly
interested in its reemergence as a stopping point on the migration route of the monarch
butterflies, the team designed a series of larger-than-life butterfly sculptures. Each
beautiful butterfly sculpture calls to mind this migration, encapsulating the energy and
vibrance of nature. Placed along two trails each butterfly appears to have just landed,
inviting viewers to interact with the work while exploring the park. The sculptures hold
a total of approximately 6500 embedded crystal prisms which are activated by sunlight
throughout the day, casting colorful patterns of refracted light
