Tour 'Metamorphosis' at Archway Gallery
Program eventsJoin Visual Arts Alliance Saturday, April 6, at 11:00 a.m. for a tour of new exhibit, Metamorphosis, at Archway Gallery, 2305 Dunlavy, Houston, TX 77006. Artists Joan Laughlin and Liz Conces Spencer will lead the tour, offering insights into the work and answering questions.
Metamorphosis interprets the artists’ observations of and reactions to the constancy of change in the natural world through paintings, drawings, mosaics and sculpture. The exhibit will be on view at Archway through May 2. Archway Gallery is one of Houston’s and the nation’s oldest artist-owned and operated galleries.
Joan Laughlin is inspired by daily walks through the Heights area, observing ever-evolving gardens and foliage with seasonal change. This practice has become a metaphor for her reflections about the nature of life in general and her conclusion that “ the only constant in life is change.” Her intricate works are meditative studies on the present, which is fleeting and transitional.
The works of Liz Conces Spencer are also rooted in the natural environment, but from a perspective that vibrates with interpretive patterning and color. Current works are mosaics, glass, wood and paint in compositions that unveil layers of being in stages of time, or as she has described the revelation, “the aching mystery of infinite change.”
