April 23 - July 10, 2022
From Galveston Arts Center:
“Galveston Arts Center (GAC) presents the exhibition Never Odd or Even featuring the paintings and sculptures of Houston-based artists Melinda Laszczynski, Kate Mulholland, and Erika Whitney. The exhibition highlights the opposing and complimentary ideas and processes each artist employs in their individual relationship to abstraction and color. Through a push and pull between additive and subtractive, methodical and intuitive processes, these works navigate the artists’ ongoing experimentations with abstraction that flow between paintings and objects. This exhibition opens April 23 in conjunction with Galveston ArtWalk from 6 to 9 PM with an artist talk at 6:30 PM and continues through July 10, 2022.
Exhibitions in GAC’s second floor galleries by Sebastien Boncy and Joachim West continue through May 29, 2022. Sebastien Boncy’s exhibition in the 1878 Gallery, Time After Time, features photographs of the Northwest Houston community where the artist resides. In the Brown Foundation Gallery, Joachim West’s exhibition, Critical Mass, includes works on paper and ceramics featuring accumulations of human figures.
GAC’s galleries are open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 12 to 5 PM. For information and hours for ArtWalk participating spaces, please visit: https://www.galvestonartscenter.org/artwalk
These exhibitions are supported in part by an award from the Texas Commission on the Arts.
About the Exhibition:
Never Odd or Even features the paintings and sculptures of Houston-based artists Melinda Laszczynski, Kate Mulholland, and Erika Whitney. The exhibition highlights the opposing and complimentary ideas and processes each artist employs in their individual relationship to abstraction and color. Laszczynski’s paintings and sculptures highlight her magpie tendencies to accumulate and manipulate shiny films and painted textures, building them up into playful and tactile surfaces, along with experiments in the alchemical processes of ceramics and paper. Mulholland excavates her painting’s surfaces, carving and eroding layers, mimicking geological and meteorological processes that create the world around us. Whitney’s paintings and installations are a result of an intuitive process resulting from memory, routine, and experimentation. Through a push and pull between additive and subtractive, methodical and intuitive processes, these works navigate the artists’ ongoing experimentations with abstraction that flow between paintings and objects.”
