  • Richard Stout: Paintings and Sculptures
    RICHARD STOUT: The Arc of Perception New Paintings and Sculpture & Paintings from the 1950’s OCTOBER 20 – NOVEMBER 25, 2006 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 15, 2006 - Holly Johnson Gallery in Dallas unveils an exhibition of new work by Texas' most influential artist, Richard Stout, as well as a selection of paintings from the 1950’s. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Friday, October 20, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The exhibition continues through Saturday, November 25, 2006. In 2001, Dr. Edmund Pillsbury writes, “Inspired by Giacometti, Ernst and other Surrealist works on view at the Menil Collection but possessing an understanding of the powers of landscape that is almost mystical, Richard Stout stands apart. He is an artist of our time, but through his works he transports us to places near and far, making us appreciate the world in fresh ways and bringing a set of emotions into our experience of daily life that, albeit clouded in mystery, is both reassuring and uplifting. He is a worthy successor to his Romantic forbearers, Turner and Delacroix, whose goal superseded any traditional concept of beauty in favor of effects that can only be described as Sublime.” And in Sculpture magazine (May 2006), Ileana Marcoulesco writes, “The sculptures appear to explore a space of intimate events – in spite of their rhetorical titles, compiled from grand mythological narratives...they are heavy, complex, versatile three-dimensional shapes. Ascetic in appearance, cryptic in connotation, yet free-wheeling, they speak a private language of passions and are hard to penetrate, except intuitively.” Stout was born in 1934 in Beaumont, Texas.

  • Fort Gansevoort
    FORT GANSEVOORT March Madness 5 Ninth Avenue, New York, NY, 10014 On View: Friday March 18 – May 1, 2016 Opening Reception: March 18, 6-9pm When sports and art collide with the impact of “March Madness,” a show of 28 artists opening March 18 at Fort Gansevoort, our games become metaphors, our heroes are transformed, even our golf bags reveal secrets. The artist’s eye finds the corruption, violence and racism behind the scoreboard, and the artist’s hand enhances the protest. To fans, “March Madness” refers to the hyped fun and games of the current national college basketball tournament. To Hank Willis Thomas and Adam Shopkorn, organizers of these 44 works, it reflects the classic spirit of Tommie Smith and John Carlos raising the black power salute at the 1968 Olympics, of Leni Riefenstahl’s film of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, of George Bellows’ painting of Dempsey knocking Firpo out of the ring. The boxer in this show is still. The legendary photographer Gordon Parks reveals Muhammad Ali, the leading symbol of athletic protest, in a rare moment of stunning silence. The boxing champion is framed in a doorway, praying. Contrast that to the in-your-face fury of Michael Ray Charles’ “Yesterday.” A powerful black figure in a loin-cloth bursts through a jungle to slam-dunk his own head through what looks like basketball hoop of vines. A cameo of Abraham Lincoln looks on. Is the artist suggesting that the end of slavery is the beginning of March Madness? More subtle but no less troubling is Charles’ rendition of the face of O.J.

  • Press Release ENG
    SHARIF BEY EDDY KAMUANGA PAT PHILLIPS MICHAEL RAY CHARLES KATHIA ST HILAIRE 20th March – 8th May 2021 Zidoun-Bossuyt Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of sculptures, paintings and works on paper by Sharif Bey, Eddy Kamunaga, Michael Ray Charles, Pat Phillips and Kathia St Hilaire. Sharif Bey “I was raised in an anti-imperialist household - that was the culture,” Sharif Bey explains, “a culture of asking, of questioning, of pushing back on the narratives that media has fed to us.” Over the past thirty years, Bey has channeled this impulse into his clay practice. Bey’s sculptures reference the visual heritage of Africa and Oceania, as well as present-day African American culture, exploring the significance of traditional beads and figurines through contemporary reinterpretations of these forms. He works primarily with ceramics, a medium historically used by communities to create both functional objects and objects of worship. Investigating the symbolic and formal properties of archetypal motifs, Bey questions how the meaning of icons transform across cultures and time. Bey does not shy away from stereotypical associations. Instead, he reappropriates and recontextualizes this imagery to challenge the cultural mainstream. For example, in the Protest Shields, the artist incorporates ceremonial elements with crowns of raised fists – another symbol whose meaning has continually shifted, from workers’ movements of the early twentieth century, to the Black Power movement of nineteen sixties and seventies, to today’s Black Lives Matter movement. Sharif Bey [b. 1974, Pittsburgh, PA] lives and works in Syracuse, NY, where in addition to this studio practice he is an associate professor in arts education and teaching and leadership in the College of Visual and Performing Arts and Syracuse University’s School of Education.

    Trinity Church in the City of Boston The Rev. Morgan S. Allen November 17, 2019 XXIII Pentecost, Luke 21:5-19 Come Holy Spirit, and enkindle in the hearts of your faithful, the fire of your Love. Amen. A 1995 New York Times article begins, “Meet The Art Guys … working as clerks for 24 hours straight at the Stop-N-Go convenience store in Houston’s museum district. They sold lottery tickets. They asked for patience when a customer couldn’t get the gas pump to work and neither could they. ‘Hey, we’re new at this,’ [explained] Michael Galbreth, [one of the two Art Guys]. They mopped the floor. And they called [all of this] art.”i According to the Times, “The Art Guys are part Dada, part David Letterman, pushing the concept of performance art to [its] outer limits.”ii Galbreth met collaborator and fellow Art Guy Jack Massing in 1982, and the pair began their creative partnership a year later. Their “work has been included in more than 150 exhibitions in museums, galleries, and public spaces throughout the United States … Europe, and China,” and they lectured as near to us as Harvard.iii Galbreth and Massing described their work “with terms like ‘pursuances,’ ‘disturbances,’ ‘procurements,’ and ‘doohickeys,’”iv using ordinary objects as unusual media in their sculptures – as in Cheese Grid (1993),v their strangely beautiful, wall-sized mosaic of American Cheese slices – and exaggerating by scale or repetition familiar actions in their “events” – as in Loop, driving Houston’s 610 freeway for 24 hours straight, 12 hours in one direction, and 12 hours in the other.vi Combining these static and dynamic elements, The Art Guys even “presciently anticipated our age of self-branding ‘influencers’ with SUITS: The Clothes Make the Man (1997- 98).

    26th Annual Juried Competition & Exhibition Catalog May 5 - June 13, 2020 Cover Design by André Gagnon Juror Annette Lawrence, Professor of Studio Art, College of Visual Arts and Design at University of North Texas Photo Credit: Megan DeSoto Annette Lawrence’s studio practice is characterized by transforming raw data into draw- ings, objects, and installations. The data accounts for and measures everyday life. Her subjects of inquiry range from body cycles, to ancestor portraits, music lessons, unsolic- ited mail, and journal keeping. She addresses questions of text as image, and the rela- tionship between text and code. Her work is grounded in examining what counts, how it is counted, and who is counting. Her process is one of making and unmaking, looking, waiting, recognizing things that go unannounced, remain steady, continuous, unremark- able on the surface, and develop meaning over time. Lawrence’s work has been widely exhibited and is held in museums, and private col- lections including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Dallas Museum of Art, The Rachofsky Collection, ArtPace Center for Contemporary Art, Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art, American Airlines and the Art Collection of the Dallas Cowboys. She received a 2018 MacDowell Fellowship, the 2015 Moss/Chumley Award from the Meadows Museum, and the 2009 Otis and Velma Davis Dozier Travel Award from the Dallas Museum of Art. Her work was included in the 1997 Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY. She is an alumnus of the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the Skowhegan School.
