Common Objects

Common Objects, curated by Houston painter Shane Tolbert, brings together three painters from three coasts who modestly mine the idiosyncrasies of daily experience. Ted Gahl, from Connecticut, makes small-scale gestural paintings of dubious intentinality; Nathan Hayden, from Southern California, is an obsessive hoarder of everyday experiences, and the Good Witch of the South, Houston’s Lane Hagood, celebrates beauty found in the crude, the odd, and the obscure with his accustomed wit.
