Valley House Gallery and Sculpture Garden present an exhibition of recent paintings by Ron Cheek FROM THE VALLEY OF VISION from Saturday, June 7 to Saturday, July 5, 2008 on Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 6616 Spring Valley Road, Dallas. An Artist Reception will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2008 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. |
"A ‘valley’ is often used as a metaphor for struggle. Struggle that has meaning often leads us to a greater vision. I have learned through my own trials that one’s vision can be refined while in the valley. These paintings are as much about looking up and outward as they are about seeing the difficulty in front of us," writes artist, Ron Cheek. Fort Worth artist Ron Cheek was inspired to paint in a color theory class while studying architecture and design at Texas A&M University. He satisfied his desire for a classical art education by completing a program at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy. His figurative and still life paintings continue to be influenced by his interest in psychology, religion, and classicism. For information: 972-239-2441 or www.valleyhouse.com |

THE MODERN ART MUSEUM OF FORT WORTH presents "Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love" from Saturday, July 5, 2008 through Sunday, October 19,2008 on Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at 3200 Darnell Street, Fort Worth.
|
"My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love" features works ranging from Walker's signature black cut-paper silhouettes to film animations to more than one hundred works on paper. Walker is among the most complex and prolific American artists of her generation. She has gained national and international recognition for her room-size tableaux depicting historical narratives haunted by sexuality, violence, and subjugation through the genteel eighteenth-century art of cut-paper silhouettes. Set in the American South before the Civil War, Walker's compositions play off stereotypes to portray, often grotesquely, life on the plantation, where masters, mistresses, slaves, women, and children enact a subverted version of the past. Tickets: $10 adults, $4 students and seniors, free for 12 and under. For information: www.themodern.org or 817-738-9215 |
