March 2020 in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, but has quickly found its way thanks to
its unique style and superb skins. The pieces are inspired by styles from the 1940s to
1960s, but with a contemporary twist, bright colors, and unexpected materials. Blake, WYLD

Marlene/Spencer Hays Gallery - Dance Like a Rodeo Tornado
Exhibition on Display: January 13 - February 25, 2023 | Works by artists of the West
The "West" is a physical place defined by the U.S. government as a region west of the
American Great Plains. As with other regional boundaries of the United States, time and
movement have made that boundary an uncertain mark on the map. This too holds true of our
notions of the West - a construct of history, myth, and our own perceptions. Amon Carter
pitched a slogan for Fort Worth, rather than relying on longitudes and geography, he
evoked the West as a state of mind, steeped in Romanticism: Where the West Begins. Dance
Like a Rodeo Tornado is a Western & Rodeo themed exhibition comprised of artworks by
thirty-two artists exploring the history, people, landscape, wildlife, and fantasy of
the areas in the western regions and reflecting the...

Artspace111 - The Space Between | Matt Clark and William Greiner
Exhibition on Display: January 19, 2023 – March 18, 2023 | Opening Reception Thursday, January 19 6-8 pm
With work focused on the abstract and organic, Matt Clark brings thoughtful design to the
expertly captured landscape photography of William Greiner. The series was theorized after
a post-pandemic road trip, where the pair gained inspiration from the rugged elevations of
New Mexico and the burnished highways of Texas. Clark and Greiner explore the space between
abstract painting and representational photography by combining their respective mediums.
The original photographs of the American West created by Greiner meet with acrylic painted
patterns by Clark to create intricate routes through the composition. Exploring new means
of collaboration, the duo delves into the space between past and present, need and want,
the physical and...

Fort Worth Gallery - If I Would Have Did, I Would Have Done
Exhibition on Display: January 6 - February 25, 2023 | Works by Joshua Steven Bryant
The artworks are a continuation of Bryant’s research on the intersection of queerness,
disability, and community. The show is a blend of paintings, sculptures, and digital work.
Featuring objects at varying degrees of manipulation, they use the domestic as a locale
to consider the function of a queer body within the “American Dream.” Formally, the artist
uses intuitive processes to compose with pops of texture and color as a mirror to how
they must adjust their identity to each space in order to create a sense of comfort.
Conceptually, this introspective continuation highlights the intersection of Joshua’s
idealism, egotism, and regret while reviewing how a community might look free from the
pressure of mastery, preconceptions, and expectations.

TranSystems Gallery - Appropriated Portrayals
Exhibition on Display: January 6 - February 25, 2023 | Works by Kelly Waller
I believe that art is a reflection of time and place. I consider the body of work to be
self-portraits, as they reflect my intuitive decision-making in the arrangement and form
of the piece. The imagery throughout the work reflects a sense of place. All the materials
are found in antique or resale shops in cities I have lived or places in which I have had
personal associations. Through these works, I am trying to relate to the idea that we are
a product of our own environment and the decisions in life we make. We are also products
of the media that we choose to consume. Using magazine imagery and physical alterations,
I hope to reference the censorship and control that people have over media as well as the
way in which we censor ourselves from other people.

Arts Fort Worth - Flora
Exhibition on Display: January 6 - 28, 2023 | Works by Claire Moore
This series of paintings is inspired by a return to nature prompted by the pandemic and a
move to Texas following over a decade in New York City. As health concerns regarding indoor
gatherings escalated, the amount of time Claire spent outdoors grew. Long walks and new
hobbies like gardening provided solace and a reprieve from stress, grief, and the monotony
of domestic environments. Extended periods digging in the soil and tending a garden,
coupled with a sense of confinement as we sheltered in place, inspired new tightly cropped
compositions investigating previously overlooked details of plant life. Dense foliage
envelops the canvas simultaneously evoking comfort, akin to the pressure of a weighted
blanket, and claustrophobia.

Frost Gallery - More Than This...
Exhibition on Display: December 2, 2022-Janauary 28, 2023 | Curated by Anne Allen
"Go and sit in your cell, and your cell will teach you everything", Abba Moses, as
recounted by Annie Dillard in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. "The simpler the moment in front
of you the more anxious I become. I could be doing something, I should be doing something.
But a life under constant threat of novelty isn't a life; it's exhaustion. ...I give myself
the chance to remember that this is wrong-that most of life is ordinary; that ordinary
isn't the enemy but instead something nourishing and unavoidable, the bedrock upon which
the rest of experience ebbs and flows", Mike Powell, from Washing Dishes, The New York
Times Magazine. "The secret of seeing is, then, the pearl of great price. If I thought he
could teach me to find it and keep it forever I would stagger...

Dale Brock and Visiting Angels Gallery - How to Build a Rainbow
Exhibition on Display: December 2, 2022 - January 28, 2023 | Works by Sarah DePetris
How to Build a Rainbow is an exhibition of new multi-dimensional drawings by Dallas-based
artist Sarah DePetris. The works capture the energy and potential of the almost and the
not-yet-made. With imagery of found stones, rainbows, bricks, and abstracted landscapes,
the exhibition reimagines its subjects as icons and objects of potential. Exploring the
distance between absence and presence, the work transforms the gallery into an immersive
space of possibility. The play between positive and negative space in the 2D works balances
the visual weightlessness of the suspended casts and contrasts heavier and more grounded
marks and subjects. The exhibition makes the heavy light and blurs the boundary between
the real and imagined.

Cufflink Art - possible magic
Exhibition on Display: March 26 through May 21, 2022 | Adam Fung
Adam Fung’s exhibition, possible magic, examines how we navigate our trajectory within the
Anthropocene’s precarious states. Primarily using painting as means to survey the condition
of the planet, Fung utilizes an array of research interests that touch upon issues such as
eco-anxiety, climate change, the history of landscape imagery, and interconnected systems
also known as hyperobjects. Intentionally working with oil paint, these slow moving, layered
surfaces are a resistance to the slickness, speed, and expectations of the digital world
or media we encounter daily. Each painting is executed with deliberate attention to surface,
saturated color pallets, paint application, variety of linen textures, and the use of
absorbent or reflective grounds.

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
