Newfangled Notions #53 (The Blue Period)
Jeffrey Wheeler
June 29 & 30, 2013
The “Blue Period” works feature iconic images of a rural past, mixed with art historical references, rendered in thin, often expressive monochromatic oil washes. These are not nostalgic reminiscences but interventions, re-examinations of ideas and ideals that remain powerful and, therefore, in need of critical attention. The large-scale sketches alternately materialize/de-materialize, like the iconic/mythic [...]

Eclectic Momentum
Debra Broz
March 2-31, 2013
Eclectic Momentum features the work of Austin-based artist Debra Broz. Broz has tapped into her training in porcelain restoration to create an oddly charming series of small sculptures she calls Oddities. By combining fragments of found kitschy ceramic figurines, the objects are transformed into mutated creatures that explore the fine line between the ordinary and [...]
Hierophany and Pareidolia
Wilo Vargas

Peruvian artist Wilo Vargas makes his Houston debut with the G Gallery presentation of Hierophany and Pereidolia. Exploding with color and complexity, Vargas’s paintings are rooted in the symbols and historical richness of his native Peru but also possess a chaotic, psychedelic sensibility derived from a painting technique the artist first began developing following hallucinations brought [...]

Ana Fernandez | Leigh Merrill
January 5-27, 2013
Staged, featuring work by artists Ana Fernandez (San Antonio) and Leigh Merrill (Dallas), presents viewers with an oddly familiar yet undeniably off-kilter view of the Texas landscape. Both artists construct strangely discordant, alternate visual realities by recombining, re-contextualizing, and reimagining the mundane, innocuous sights and structures that clutter everyday life. Using photographic documentation as a [...]

Unresting
J. Todd Allison
December 1-30, 2012
My work pulls from a multitude of experiences and perspectives that often result in seemingly inconsequential interactions between object and space. The imagery employed can be as disjunctive as modern life while at times struggling to point to the latest breaking sound bite that is forgotten by days end. I cannot always predict where visual [...]
