2. Forrest Prince: Awake Beloved, We’ve Slept Too Long
Redbud Gallery (Houston)

An exhibition featuring works by Houston-based self-taught artist Forrest Prince. From the gallery: “Prince’s work directly deals with religious hypocrisy, social indifference and regressive politics that are so prevalent in our society. He is one of those rare humans that through self-contemplation has been able to find unity with an absolute deity. Prince has reached a state of spiritual bliss that is beyond most of our understanding.”
