October 14 - November 12, 2016
Joe Mancuso, "Bouquet", 2016, latex, acrylic and silver leaf on canvas, 84 x 84 inches
Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce One Rainy Wish, a solo-exhibition by artist Joe Mancuso opening Friday, October 14th, 2016 with an artist’s reception from 6:00 - 8:00pm. This exhibition is on view through November 12, 2016.
Houston-based artist Joe Mancuso presents new paintings and a site-specific installation for his solo-exhibition titled One Rainy Wish. Mancuso reexamines concepts and themes throughout his practice and translates them into his latest body of works. The paintings exemplify a contemporary perspective on still-life subject matters, which places them in a unique art historical context. The content provides a common thread between the paintings, yet each illustrates a distinct methodology as the forms evolve from one work to the next.
