Dallas Gallery Walks

This afternoon I went down to downtown Dallas, because I needed to covered the Art Residency program UTD has opened. But then I remember my professor told us something about art walk sort of things for art galleries downtown.

After a quick google search, it turns out that there are indeed whole bunch of museums doing the art walk this afternoon. On the little electronic brochure it says there are 32 galleries around Dallas areas participating in this event, 32!! can you believe that??

Unfortunately, with the times I had, I was only able to go to 3 or 4 galleries, below are a short (or call it mini if you want) list of artists that I've found to be interesting:

1. Maya Eventov

Maya Eventov's Acrylic on Canvas Painting

P.S - The images of her painting does not do her art works justice, there are just so much textures on the canvas, such vibrant use of color that are all somehow lost due to crappy photographers. The image is above is the one that I think almost does her work justice, but still not quite, I believe it's worth it to just go to downtown Dallas just to check this out.

2. Jennifer Scott McLaughlin

Her newest work is currently being exhibited at the
Artizen Fine Arts in Downtown Dallas on Dragon Street and Howell Street.

3. Enid Williams

I like this one better because there's subtle muted color tone behind all the dots.

It's like orders within chaos or vice versa, depend on how you look at it.

4. Cara Enteles

The use of mix medium made whatever was printed on the frosted acrylic(Plexiglas) more interesting "as the surface interact with the lights in the environment, giving a surprising and unpredictable glow to the work, which changes as the light does"

=============================================================

For me, it was definitely an interesting evening, got a lot of inspirations for my silkscreens... just you wait :D
