We’re excited to announce ‘Overgrowth’ a group exhibition of work exploring wild ecologies and landscapes opening Saturday, October 3, from 5–7pm.

The exhibition features work by an international roster of artists including, Hidenori Ishii, Isabel Lee-Rosson, Reyna Ramirez, and Rachel Wolfson Smith. In painting, drawing, and sculpture, these artists consider our connection to the natural environment and significance in the untamed and ungroomed. ‘Overgrowth’ reframes the landscape, not as something to lose oneself in, but as a dense reflection of our emotions, culture, and history.

Across global art history, artists have employed landscapes as a vehicle to communicate emotional states and cultural context. Today, landscape artists reckon with realities of climate catastrophe onset by industrial growth, violent enforcement of geographic borders, and historical representations of the environment. The artist’s featured in ‘Overgrowth’ explore these issues largely outside of figural representation. Their work allows the natural world to speak for its wild, undomesticated self.

‘Overgrowth’ will be on view through November 7. It will be exhibited concurrently with the debut solo exhibition by Dallas-based painter Jessica Vollrath.. DM us or visit the link in our bio for more information.

We’re excited to announce ‘The smell of rain on dust’, our first solo presentation of paintings and works on paper by Dallas-based artist Jessica Vollrath, opening Saturday, October 3, from 5–7pm.

Known for her intimate portraits of motherhood and religious symbolism, Vollrath’s new works see the artist exploring themes of universal spirituality and surrealist composition. Her newest compositions conjure strange and alluring figures inside dreamlike settings. Imbued with a divine mystique, Vollrath’s subjects suggest themes of grief, freedom, and the will to change.

Vollrath creates paintings that depict figures from her personal life—including herself—and observation, often placed within mythological or historical settings. In this way, her work bears similarities to traditional history painting and figurative artists from the Black Arts Movement including Berkley L. Hendricks and Faith Ringgold. Vollrath’s recent paintings see the artist moving away from her previously defined narratives into symbolic representations of mysticism and psychological weight. These works do not so much depict history or personal narrative as imagine possible futures and emotional endurance.

‘The smell of rain on dust’ will be on view through November 7. DM us or visit the link in our bio for more information.

The fall hummingbird migration is underway in North Texas, and Madrid-based artist Alexa Brooks marks it with six new watercolor and graphite drawings.

“Right now, hummingbirds are flying thousands of miles from as far north as Canada down to as far south as Central America. I hope these artworks act as a reminder of the fleeting beauty of the hummingbirds as they pass through Texas. I encourage you to go outside to encounter them as well as to add native plants like sage, flame acanthus, and Turk’s cap to your garden to help them along their journey.” — Alexa Brooks

These drawings carry Brooks’ signature lace patterns, rendered to mimic paper cut-outs. All six are available now through our website. Visit the link in our bio.

New felt tapestries by Gary Goldberg are on view in Oaxaca, featured in ‘Hacer memoria(s): Fotografía periodística y documental en Oaxaca’ (Making Memory(ies): Photojournalism and Documentary Photography in Oaxaca) at the Centro de las Artes de San Agustín, on view through August 16.

Goldberg’s tapestries begin as photographs of the textured, layered walls of Oaxaca, which he has been documenting for more than twenty years. Each is then translated into wool through a dry needle felting process by a team of artisans at the Centro de las Artes de San Agustín, using natural pigments including cochineal and indigo, so the work returns to the place where it was made. ‘Hacer memoria(s)’ unfolds across six thematic sections tracing the history of documentary photography in Oaxaca and its ongoing impact on sociopolitical movements in the region.

See more of Goldberg’s felted textiles in ‘Traces’, starting August 22. Join us Saturday, August 29 for the opening celebration, which begins with a walkthrough led by Gary Goldberg and Erin Cluley at 5 PM.

Opening our fall season, ‘Traces’ brings together an international roster of artists, including Gary Goldberg, Jumaadi, Magdalena Rantica, Florencia Rothschild, Antonio Turok, and Sarita Westrup, whose work considers the ways people understand and navigate place through the body. Across photography, painting, and sculpture, the exhibition examines how movement, cultural identity, and embodied experience shape our relationships to the spaces we inhabit.

Drawing on non-Western modes of thinking about the body and geography, ‘Traces’ focuses on cultural practices and iconographies from Latin America and Southeast Asia, troubling stable notions of how our built and natural surroundings shape our personal narratives, and vice versa.

Join us for the opening reception Saturday, August 29, from 5 to 7 PM. Works will be on view August 22 – September 26.

Wishing a very happy birthday to artist William Atkinson 🎉

Atkinson’s large-scale mixed media paintings fold together abstract expressionism, photo collage, and typography, carrying over the loud, subversive energy of his early years as a street artist in Los Angeles. Each canvas is completed in a single sitting, with no retouches, so every piece holds one uninterrupted moment.

His most recent solo exhibition with the gallery, ‘On the Road’, drew on found photography from a midcentury family’s road trip from Texas to Colorado, honoring and disrupting the tenets of American culture through bold mark-making and gesture.

We’re grateful for the years we’ve worked together and excited for all that’s ahead.

Wishing a very happy birthday to artist Sarita Westrup 🎉

Our first time working with Westrup was in 2023, when she became the inaugural winner of our annual Cluley Projects exhibition. Our community’s response to her work was immediate, and it’s been a joy to watch her career take off in the years since.

Rooted in weaving and bricolage, Westrup’s sculptural basketry draws on her upbringing in the Rio Grande Valley along the Texas-Mexico border, translating the material languages of the borderlands into forms that are at once architectural and intimate. In the past two years alone she has completed a year-long residency at the Penland School of Craft, shown in ‘Flow States — La Trienal’ at El Museo del Barrio, mounted the two-person exhibition ‘Shared Ground’ at Superhouse in New York, been awarded the Center for Craft’s Virginia A. Groot Material Exploration Residency, and was recently featured in Architectural Digest’s ‘Meet 8 Artists Leading America’s Craft Revival’.

We’re so proud of all Sarita has accomplished, and can’t wait to see what’s next. Visit the link in our bio to learn more about her practice and view available work.
