Kana Harada and Ruben Nieto ExhibitionPresented by The Gallery at UTA at The Moudy Gallery February 24, 2012 Kana Harada's site-specific installation of suspended organic forms made out of black and white foam and wood creates a tranquil, mystical experience that reflects the artist's awe of nature. The painstakingly hand cut foam pieces suggest exotic plant-life, yet have an abstract quality that makes the sculptural forms unique and personal. Evoking the "peaceful, serene embrace" of lush forests she has encountered in Japan and across the United States, the work is elegantly calm and contemplative.... | The Gallery at UTA | 02/24/12 | Fort Worth |
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-

Ancient Patterns - Threads of Time at Fort Worth Community Arts Center February 3-February 28, 2012 From Fay Jean Hooker's West Texas youth came many influences that inform her current body of work, "American Pattern Paintings: Wooden Quilts."

She begins by choosing a favorite quilt pattern, and develops the mathematical configuration for a wood grid prototype. The hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual pieces... | | 02/03/12-
