Summer Visions: West Town Galleries

Join Art Encounter’s Artistic Director Joanna Pinsky to explore exciting exhibits in galleries throughout West Town. Starting at Povos Gallery’s Chicago Avenue space, we’ll see Fights, a solo exhibit by William Schaeuble. Discover why this young artist’s entire exhibit sold out at the opening and why he has been picked up by a New York gallery. Through images that are surrealist and abstracted, Schaeuble questions the absurdity of conflicts in a variety of sorts and magnitudes with a sense of humor. He draws on his own personal experiences as an outdoorsman and bird watcher for his subject matter. Then, at Patron Gallery, we’ll view Las raíces conversan por debajo de la tierra by indigenous Mexican artist Noé Martínez. Inspired by his ancestral Huastecan texts, visual culture, and collective oral narratives, the artist creates paintings and sculptures speaking to the trauma of indigenous cultures through colonization. We’ll also discuss Amidst Relations, beautifully rendered intimate graphite images by Scottish artist Richard Maguire, who explores the history of race and sexuality in Britain and India.
