Focus Gallery One: Concentric Squares at Fort Worth Community Arts Center January 6-February 25, 2012 Her work is insistently abstract, mathematical, conceptual in origin and geometric in appearance. It does not derive from perception, but is entirely constructed from numerical rhythms and proportions; it is concept made visible, a thought construction. The content of the work resides partly within the work itself and partly in the viewer's apprehension of the mathematical structure that is made visible through geometry and not disguised by other subject matter. The color palette is limited to... | | 01/06/12-

EpiloguesPresented by Art Galleries at TCU at Fort Worth Contemporary Arts January 21-February 25, 2012 Fort Worth Contemporary Arts announces the opening of the solo exhibition Epilogues by the young Houston-based artist Michael Bise. These large-scale, meticulous drawings circle the hard truths of Bise's (and our) geographical realities of growing up or living in a bible-belted, suburban sprawl of hypocrisy and identity crisis. They are epic, beautiful, and disturbing; underlying the whole is Bise's more autobiographical confrontation with his odd family history, and his lifelong and... | Art Galleries at TCU | 01/21/12-

The GreyhoundsPresented by Scat Jazz Lounge at Scat Jazz Lounge February 25, 2012 The Austin Chronicle wrote about Austin's Greyhounds..." Based on old-school R&B, it incorporates elements of funk, blues, Seventies boogie, and the occasional noodling. With Trube, originally from Tyler, on guitar and Farrell on keys, Greyhounds bring to mind the organ jazz of the late, great Jimmy Smith." The Greyhounds themselves see it more as funk and blues, come on out and you be the judge. | Scat Jazz Lounge | 02/25/12 | Fort Worth |
