Tactile
Richland College Brazos Gallery
Opens Thursday, Sept. 3, noon - 1 pm
Through October 9. (972) 238-6339
featuring work by David Connolly, Paul Greco, and Harmony Padgett

DUDE: I just realized after writing all the below that this opening happened today at noon. Agh. Anyway...

I really wish I could see more of Harmony Padgett's stuff. She seems to have no web presence at all, but the thumbnails you can see on a few of the gallery sites (#1, #2, #3) look pretty interesting. Check out David Connolly's stuff linked above (also, the featured image, titled Pattern #3).

FRIDAY

Magical Means: Drawings by Anna Zemánková
Southern Methodist University Pollock Gallery
Opens Friday, Sept. 4, 5-7 pm

Lazy, lazy: "Using an idiosyncratic and highly individualized lyrical language of biomorphic abstraction, self-taught Czech artist Anna Zemánková (1908–1986) made drawings of striking originality and beauty. Zemánková, a Prague housewife who suffered from chronic depression, began making her richly abstracted unfolding floral-like compositions in 1960, at the age of fifty-two. She often executed her drawings while in a trancelike state, and her works appear to undergo anorganic transformation on the paper, resulting in graceful, fantastic flower/star/leaf shapes."

SATURDAY

Brian Fridge, Amy Revier, Edward Setina, Matthew Lopas, and Paul Slocum
