1 day agoKarin Davie's Oceans of Color
Karin Davie fuses Abstract Expressionist painterly brushstrokes with Op Art opticality, using repeated horizontal, wavy strokes across shaped canvases that modulate color and space.
Mario Ayala: Seven Vans is the artist's first solo museum presentation in the United States. Expanding on his signature shaped canvases-often depicting the back of cars with technical precision- Seven Vans debuts seven life-size van paintings created specifically for Houston. Derived from the word caravan, the van bridges histories of commerce and counterculture. Each painting channels the sensibility and personality of its owner, functioning like a pseudo-portrait.
