June 22 - July 20, 2023
From Laura Rathe Fine Art:
“An acclaimed contemporary artist best known for her use of color and message of resilience, Martin’s new works are a celebration of evolution, exploring encaustic techniques to create a depth to the work never before seen. As a result, the explosive and lyrical compositions share the delicacy and transparency of watercolors, but with the weight of encaustic hues.
In a more structural fashion, Devine focuses on a singular color with each new piece, giving it materiality through his undulating and geometric forms that are seamlessly welded together. By rhythmically building up both his wall-mounted and freestanding sculptures from 2D elements, he upholds linearity in his spatial examinations and evokes the physicality of his craft, ultimately, reshaping our direct view color and form. The continuous ebb and flow of his practice is rooted in transformation, evolving the design to higher heights with each independent reaction. Uncommon Ground will be on display through July 20th, 2023.”

“River Oaks District gallery, Laura Rathe Fine Art, announces Uncommon Ground, a dual-exhibition featuring new works by Carly Allen Martin and Matt Devine and the grand opening of our new location within River Oaks District, Suite D120. The opening reception will be held Thursday, June 22nd from 6-9pm at our River Oaks District gallery (4444 Westheimer). In honor of our new location, Laura Rathe Fine Art is proud to celebrate our breaking ground with
Uncommon Ground. Our inaugural exhibition explores the yin and yang of Devine and Martin. When curated together, the seemingly opposing works illuminate the concrete with the abstract, the literal with the imagined.”
