Art Guys: Cloud Cuckoo Land

November 29, 2007-January 13, 2008

Selections from twenty-five years of drawings, proposals, failed schemes, and pipe dreams of the Houston artist team of Michael Galbreath and Jack Massing who work collaboratively under the name The Art Guys. Featuring proposals for work that did, did not, and sometimes just could not come to fruition, the exhibition includes drawings, maquettes, ephemera, and documentation.

 

"Buck" and the Kid

March 7 – April 27, 2008

"Buck" and the Kid, a compilation of diverse works of the late beloved Texas artist E. M. "Buck" Schiwetz and his younger friend and protégé renowned watercolorist Harold Phenix bring together an enchanting collection of Texas sights and memories. Some of the paintings, of local and statewide areas, have never been exhibited before this presentation.

 

Madeline O’Connor Retrospective

May 9 – July 20, 2008

Madeline O'Connor described her reductivist process as akin to peeling back the leaves of an artichoke "to find the most succulent part." She generally started with the woods around her south Texas home, its fragile ecology and gloriously hued birds. After reducing her inspiration to its absolute core, she ended up with a variety of geometrically shaped canvases painted in solid tones. This exhibit will be the first since the artist’s death in 2002.

Jesse Lott Retrospective

Nov. 20, 2008- January 25, 2009

In Jesse’s work we find unusual talent to utilize found materials from his urban environment to forge, bend, combine, glue and assimilate these materials into his mystical characters and compositions that take on a life of their own.
