FRIDAY Dallas Art Fair ( Fashion Industry Gallery) This is the very first annual Dallas Art Fair, with 30 national art dealers presenting modern and contemporary paintings, photographs, sculpture, prints, and drawings. And wait...is that a Henry Darger painting on their website? And Chuck Close? The price of admission is a little steep- $20 for a day pass, $40 for a three-day pass- but it sounds like it will be totally worth it. Margrét H. Blöndal & Lars Laumann ( Fort Worth Contemporary Arts) 6-9 pm SATURDAY Diane Sikes: Looking Backward ( 500X) 6-10pm Otis Jones ( William Campbell Contemporary Art) 6-8 pm SUNDAY Jeff Elrod ( The Modern) Part of the Modern's Focus series, which just featured the Ranjani Shettar scuptures. Elrod's paintings start as drawings on a simple computer graphics program which he transfers to canvas by hand, a kind of mix between new media art and postwar abstraction. Image: Jeff Elrod |
