Fort Worth Gallery - Hive
Exhibition on Display: September 10 - October 30, 2021 | Works by Matthew Bourbon
For several years now I have been painting basic abstract shapes as containers
for the human body, architecture, industrial objects, and various other natural
forms. I wonder about these seemingly disparate categories of things, and how
they share many similarities of form and substance. To focus my paintings, I
have corralled my practice into a series of nominal heads. The “head” I choose
to name each painting is a nod to my studio ruminations and the seat of our
intellect that we imagine residing in our brains. Essentially, I am using my
painting as a place to undo some of my impulses to think of myself as a solely
unique human, separate from all other things. With a bent toward the philosophic,
my work is made from a wondering about this...

BNSF Gallery - Civil Lies
Exhibition on Display: September 10 - October 30, 2021 | Works by Erin Stafford and Heyd Fontenot
CIVIL LIES, a two-person art exhibition at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center,
opens September 10 and runs through October 30, 2021. Texas-based
interdisciplinary artists Heyd Fontenot and Erin Stafford each present their
complex artworks in a thematic and aesthetic dialog. Visually delightful,
yet politically provocative, the artists tread dangerously through a minefield
of questioning power structures, nationalism, history, gender, and the false
promises of comfort-in-conformity. Recognized as a figurative painter and
former director of the artists’ residency CentralTrak, Heyd Fontenot presents
a continuous 68 foot wall-scaled painting featuring multiple figures and a
plea for empathy.

Brock/Transystems Gallery-Breaking Through: Portraits, Prints, Paper
Exhibition on Display: September 10 - October 30, 2021 | Works by Laura Post
My work redefines portraiture by expanding the boundaries of the print medium.
I reconsider the stability provided by a matrix, used to create multiple prints,
to produce varied outcomes. This generates a new whole from the repetition of
parts, like unique paper sculptures and pulp paintings. The artwork interrogates
the history of printmaking and papermaking, as well as their voice in
contemporary art. By combining matrices that span the origins of the medium to
the newest technologies, I create multi-faceted paper sculptures to explore how
individuals are shaped by their familial network. This includes non-Western and
Western traditional print processes, handmade paper, and post-digital techniques
like 3D scans to expand the definition...

Chasity has aways been drawn to art, creating, and all its wonders. Sculpture is
where she has found the true desire that burns within. Learning to listen to
that desire is what set her spirit free. "It wasn't until I silence my
mind and listen to what the stone was whispering, that I was able to carve the
image that I felt was wanting released from the stone."

Gallery Three - The Grammar of Animacy
Exhibition on Display: August 13 - October, 2021 | Works by Angela Faz
Who is water? If water could talk, what would they say? What might the West Fork
and Clear Fork River bodies remember when meeting the great Arkikosa River
(Trinity River) in Dallas? The Grammar of Animacy is the foundation of the work
with the New Stories: New Futures project called "Remembering: Water has a
memory." The exhibition's title, The Grammar of Animacy, was derived from
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings
of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer, a scientist and enrolled member of the Citizen
Potawatomi Nation. In Braiding Sweetgrass, the author describes how English does
not give us many tools for respecting animacy.

with motion and light. Other works in the show pivot away from the loud and
expressive as in Eye In The Sky, a softer, quieter drawing of ancient
and modern amphibians alongside the moon,

Central Gallery - Record
Exhibition on Display: July 23 - September 4, 2021 | Works by Jungseok Oh
I usually create sculptures inspired by my daily life and my RECORD
series also started with my personal experience which was extremely tough. These
works of art are a kind of recording of the species which are facing the risk of
extinction. The sculptures capture and highlight the pains experienced by these
disappearing lives. I weld steel wires, which are very strong and indestructible,
and this reflects my obsession and fear of the loss of life. All living things
share a connection. The creatures are part of Nature. It's time to be aware that
selfish and reckless destructions of other's lives by us will eventually lead to
our own demise because we humans are part of the Nature as well.

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.

Vista Gallery - Herbs, Spice and Everything Nice
Exhibition on Display: July 2 - August 7, 2021 | Works by Niva Parajuli
In this series, I explore the phenomenon of migration and acculturation using
herbs, spices and plaster. In my studio, I mix spices and herbs used in domestic
Nepali cooking with plaster and water. I knead, spread and lather the mix onto
various platforms or mold. While the mixture cures, it becomes a form that
retains the essence of its subcomponents and yet is uniquely itself. The
exothermic reaction between water and plaster activates the aroma from within
the spices and creates the ambience of a fragrant Nepali kitchen. The process of
making these pieces is similar to that of cooking. I throw in spices and
ingredients, “according to personal taste”, a common vernacular used in Nepalese
recipes.

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
