February 6 - March 4, 2021
From Archway Gallery:
“Archway Gallery presents Regeneration, featuring new works in clay, paint, and glass by Carol Berger, Liz Conces Spencer, and Gene Hester, on view from February 6 through March 4, 2021.
In this joint exhibition, Carol Berger, Liz Conces Spencer, and Gene Hester explore nature’s regenerative force in the face of enormous odds. The works in this exhibition reflect the artists’ concern about the impact of human encroachment, the destruction of habitats, and the planet’s survival. The eradication of plant species and diversity through human infringement and global warming, the disappearance of bee colonies and other animal/bird/insect/fish populations, and the devastation of massive pollution in the oceans, landmasses and atmosphere have engendered in each artist a response that celebrates and honors the rapidly shrinking natural world. Each artist presents works that, created solo or collaboratively, celebrate what may be lost if we do not quickly act. Even though nature has powerful regenerative abilities, it cannot withstand the onslaught of the need for humans to “grow.” Carol Berger’s works in clay along with Liz Conces Spencer and Gene Hester’s works in glass explore visual ideas using the landscape and its natural elements as starting points. Spencer additionally will present dimensional paintings on wood and traditional works on canvas.
To further support local efforts to protect Houston’s natural habitats, Archway Gallery is partnering with the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, a 155-acre non-profit urban nature sanctuary which provides education about the natural environment to people of all ages. It plays a vital role in protecting native plants and animals in the heart of the city where development threatens their survival. During the month of February, the gallery is hosting a silent auction of a work of art to benefit the conservation efforts of the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center.”
