Top Five: February 4, 2021

by Glasstire February 4, 2021

Brandon Zech and William Sarradet on some tricky architectural paintings, a Dallas cohort in the Panhandle, and fantastic use of an unexpected space in Houston.

“I love the use of these weird, awkward spaces, where people can have unique experiences.”

For last week’s Top Five in which Christopher Blay and Christina Rees present a group show in Houston we’ve been waiting for, a new wave in Galveston, and new work by a Dallas-based artist who’s influenced a generation, please go here.

Bret Slater- Regen at Liliana Bloch Gallery in Dallas January 12 20214. Bret Slater: Regen
January 12 – February 6
Liliana Bloch Gallery (Dallas)

From Liliana Bloch Gallery:

“The Liliana Bloch Gallery is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by Bret Slater entitled RegenRegen is a return to directly utilizing the formal language of industrial objects, as well as the relationships between one object and another, from the vast and urban environment of New York City that surrounds the artist each day.

“Slater states: when I see a form that captivates me, be it that of a machine, automobile, well-designed architecture, jury-rigged structures, or makeshift objects, I can feel truly connected to both myself as well as something bigger, or at least, something pertaining about story or source that is other than mine, with its own history.

Foster from Austin, Roy Hanscom from Houston, and local favorite Stan Irvin of Rockport.”
