January 14 - February 11, 2023
From the MAC:
“The MAC is pleased to announce Actual Scenes/Genuine Characters – an exhibition of new work from The Wheeler Brothers. The exhibition will be on view January 14th — February 11th, 2023, at the gallery’s main location, 1503 S. Ervay Street.
An opening reception will be held Saturday, January 14th from 6 – 9 PM. The gallery is open weekly, Wednesday through Saturday, 12 – 5 PM.
The Wheeler Brother’s newest exhibition, Actual Scenes/Genuine Characters offers a fresh look at the brothers’ sardonic reflections on American pop culture and mythologies surrounding the Texan west. In addition to a varied selection of their individual works, the exhibition features never-before-seen collaborative drawings and paintings between the brothers.
At the MAC, Bryan and Jeff Wheeler explore the iconographies of advertisement and mid-century Americana. The brothers’ collaborative works blend their respective styles in witty mixed-media collages. Works like “Now Even Fresher,” (2010) superimpose a mob of words, images and figures onto recognizably Texan landscapes—through this cacophony of references, the brothers’ incisive commentary unravels the mythos underlying our contemporary moment. Bringing together decades of their work, Actual Scenes/Genuine Characters, highlights the Wheeler brother’s indelible contribution to contemporary Texan art.”
