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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Using a cartoon color palette and simple geometric shapes, recent Texas transplant Chrys Grummert generates hard-edged, abstracted landscapes with undeniable references to modern design. The compositions are situated somewhere between neo geo and color field painting, resulting in flat, curious scenes that bring to mind video games and science fiction sets with a wry nod [...]
