From Ro2:
“Description of Show: In his latest body of work, Friends, #notcanvas, Chance Dunlap has created 100 small cactus-like creatures. What may appear at first glance to be ordinary succulents, are instead potential figures with humorous expressions and attitudes. To offset their general form association with cacti, some have moving parts, unusual textures, and unnatural colors. They are both familiar and surprising. In the words of Chance Dunlap, “They possess all of my creative energy and reflect all of the other work I have done in my 20 years as an artist.”
Description of Artist: Chance Dunlap received his MFA in Studio Art from the College of Visual Art and Design at the University of North Texas in 2014 after receiving his BA in Visual Art from Southeastern Oklahoma State University in 2011. He has exhibited throughout Texas, with recent solo exhibitions including Best Chance, Galveston Arts Center, Galveston, TX (2018, solo); Alluring Objects, Tyler Museum of Art, Tyler, TX (2017, solo); Recent Works, Wise Gallery, Tyler Junior College (2016, solo); and Oklahoma Breakdown, Ro2 Art Gallery, Dallas, TX (2015, solo).
