Nathan Mabry at the Nasher Sculpture Center

Visited the Nasher Sculpture Center today to see the work of Los Angeles based artist Nathan Mabry's work.  Mabry's work is inspired by archaeology and ethnology to DADA and Surrealism. These works are based on an ancient terracotta Jalisco figure from the Nasher collection.

Collage: Now Then & Again

Made it to Barry Whistler Gallery on the last day of the Collage exhibition.  So much to see in this exhibition.  It was nice to see work by Doug MacWithey again, Mark Williams is always pushing the grid in new and exciting ways, Margaret Meehan, see post below, just can't get enough of her work and new to me Dana Harper's work so nice.

shows @ the MAC

Beyond Abstraction: Recent Works by Six North Texas Artists:
David McCullough, David A. Dreyer, Vincent Falsetta, Michael Osbaldeston, Ricardo Paniagua and Michael Tichansky
 
 

Vincent!  This is a knockout!



Robin Ragin:  Homage to a Mentor in the New Works Space.  This was an interesting exhibition.  I don't know, I don't know what to think.  I want to know more about this situation - I need to google this!  


Really liked this one a lot! "Year of the Rabbit (A Self Portrait)", 2011, Glass, globe, wood base, broken mirror, toy rabbit, metal doll eyes.

David Aylsworth

David Aylsworth latest exhibition in Dallas is definitely worth making the time to visit. It appears that David is working with a limited palette as he continues to layer upon layer of paint. Just so satisfying.  I hear there is a catalog for the exhibition - didn’t see any in the gallery.   Go see this show.

 




Margaret Meehan

Margaret Meehan's "The Haymakers" (2012-13) were included in "Collage: Now Then & Again" which I caught on the last day of the exhibition at Barry Whistler Gallery.

Zimmerplatz is a place to think. A room to exchange ideas. To listen, to see and to smell the destiny of rot. Order comes in many forms
