The Modern - FOCUS: Marina Adams
Exhibition on Display: November 6, 2020 - January 10, 2021
By: Marina Adams
Contemporary artist Marina Adams will show seven energetic abstract paintings from the
past four years that are immersive in scale, as well as recent small gouache works on
paper. Adams explores the relationship between color and shape in her acrylic-on-linen
paintings, where organic forms of solid color abut and interlock. Her work balances
organization and improvisation; she sketches out her compositions before she paints,
but there is an immediacy made obvious by loose, confident brushstrokes, where drips
and bands of color overlap.

sometimes even pharaohs themselves - are brought to life through some 230 exceptional

and stone sarcophagi, as well as tools and various items of daily life from the

Amon Carter - Meditations: Eleanore Mikus at Tamarind
Exhibition on Display: September 19, 2020–April 18, 2021
The more you look, the more you see. Beginning in the 1960s, artist Eleanore
Mikus (1927–2017) created monochromatic, contemplative abstractions that
respond to the light and shadows of their surroundings in an almost sculptural
way. These experimental compositions draw you in, rewarding those willing to
linger in front of her subtle, sometimes puzzling, pieces with moments of
peaceful calm.
