On view through November 17th is Erin Curtis’ “Night and Day.”
Curtis’ exhibition includes recent large-scale paintings that are dense with color and pattern. Her layered, cut-canvas works contain disrupted surfaces and reflect an interest in geometric abstraction and its historical roots in weaving, architecture, nature, and ritual. The paintings in “Night and Day” are nearly overwhelmed by an unreadable chaos that is pulled back to the edge of order by familiar patterns and forms. The exhibition will be on view through November 17th, 2019.
Erin Curtis is an artist living and working in Austin, Texas. Curtis’s work combines utopian ideals of beauty and structure, with process and chance. Primarily working as a painter, she also creates large-scale, site-specific installations and public art projects.
She has received grants from the Dallas Museum of Art, the Andy Warhol Foundation, the City of Austin and the District of Columbia. Curtis has had solo shows at Conduit Gallery, Dallas, TX (2017), CalPoly, San Luis Obispo, California (2016), Big Medium Gallery, Austin, Texas (2015) and Flashpoint Gallery, Washington, DC (2015). She has created commissioned works for the Chicago Transit Authority, the City of Washington D.C., Facebook, Art in Embassies and the City of Austin. In the summer of 2019, a 20- foot tall cut brick mural commissioned by Intelligentsia Coffee will be installed in downtown Austin. Curtis attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2010 and was awarded residencies at Anderson Ranch (2012) and Vermont Studio Center (2014). In 2008-2009, Curtis was a Fulbright Scholar in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Curtis graduated from Williams College with a BA in Liberal Arts in 1999 and received her MFA from the University of Texas at Austin in 2007.

Houston photographer Troy Knight is the Featured Artist for October at the Galveston Art League Gallery. About a dozen of his photos, some taken locally and others from as far away as Asia, will be for sale this month and during the night of ArtWalk on October 12th.
Knight has snapped photos since age 18, when he was stationed in Korea with the Army. “I use my camera every day to capture the essence of a culture, the spirit of a landscape, and the heart of a story. It is a joy to know that some of my pictures have emotionally touched others and are now in their homes, that I get to share the story of these photos with others and that I get to continue to grow as a photographer.” His website is TroyKnightPhotography.com.
He is a professional member of the Galveston Art League, an all-volunteer nonprofit organization that has promoted visual arts since its inception in 1904.
The Art League offers memberships to artists and non-artists and is selling tickets for its October 26th fundraiser gala at GalvestonArtLeague.com and by calling (409)938-1671.

OPENING RECEPTION FOR GALVESTON PORTRAITS:
Saturday, October 12th-5:30 to 9:30
Born in Houston, Arthur Deatly received his BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and his All-Level Art Certification from the University of Houston in 2003. After working in sales for 10 or so years, yet being encouraged by artist friends to get back into painting, he decided to leave sales and started substitute teaching for Houston’s Independent School District. After receiving his All-Level certification, he began teaching High School Art and is currently an art teacher at Klein ISD. He began Plein Air painting in the early 2000’s and has been painting this way ever since. What started as mainly urban landscapes has grown into a more regional survey of the part of the world he lives in and loves.
Arthur says, ‘From Katy silohs to Galveston cemeteries, there is something about the sublime, understated, often truncated assemblage of stuff, where industrial, commercial and
residential all compete with nature in this never-ending dance for dominance that make what
I call the beautiful, ugly. You just got to look.’
COME ON OUT-TAKE A LOOK.
BUY ART; IT’S GOOD FOR THE SOUL!
