America Martin: Solo Show
November 2-December 1, 2024
Of Columbian-American heritage, America is renowned for her robust works using form and figure. Inspired by mid-century masters deconstructing the figure, she uses concentrated line and flat color to create colossal, vibrant subjects appearing to barely be contained by the canvas. There is a joy and exuberance in their expression, "a universal truth" in their gesture. She moves instinctively across her canvases and fine papers with a sure brush. America's titles are a poetry unto themselves, and share her lovely fables of hope and humanity. She has devised a unique style of new modernity while incorporating lessons from indigenous cultures- her own Columbian roots an important component. Represented across the country and internationally collected, Martin continues to impress audiences with her exciting work.

Will Klemm: Elevations
December 7-29, 2024
Opening reception on Saturday, December 7 from 6 to 8pm
Wally Workman will notably open Will Klemm's 25th show at the gallery. A decades-long relationship, Klemm was one of the first painters to show with the gallery, which will celebrate its 45th anniversary next year. In this show, Klemm’s large scale, richly textured canvases illustrate his travels with poetic evocations of the Southwestern landscape, from Texas to California. Klemm is known for his ethereal and light-focused landscapes. An admirer of nineteenth century Impressionist painters, Klemm continually explores how the art of the past communicates with the art of today.
Will Klemm received his BFA from The University of Texas and maintains a studio in Austin as well as in Taos, New Mexico. His work is in private and public collections around the world.
Ellen Heck: Prints
January 4-26, 2025
In this exhibition, both figurative and abstract works explore a panorama of perspectives. Life-size monochromatic aquatint portraits of children in the process of having their faces painted hone in on varying expressions of almost religious deliverance at known and unknown hands holding tools of transformation. In this series of varied editions, Being Painted, each child's face is individually painted in different familiar motifs. Of these, the show features masked adventurers, clowns, and starry-eyed dreamers. Heck is interested in the variety of expressions and levels of self-consciousness of children being painted, and conversely, the focus and lack of self-consciousness of children who are painting themselves.
