SUMMARY:I AM A Writer: Zahra Ali Solo Exhibition - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Painting to Zahra is solving puzzles in her brain. It gives her a sense of power as she \ncan attempt to control the world around her. This realization came at an early age. As \nsuch\, her combination of cultural experiences manifests as layers and colors in her \nwork. \nShe grew up in Karachi\, Pakistan with a population of over 15 million. In this urban \nmetropolis\, storytelling was iconographed on public buses. Buses are more than a mode \nof transport for passengers; they are a joyous sight to passers-by that share a story. In a \nsystem where bus drivers own their buses\, drivers would decorate the bus exteriors to \nshowcase their ancestral origins with lines of poetry interwoven with ethnic \niconography. \nAfter obtaining a BFA in Painting from Texas State University\, she moved to Houston \nand worked as an artist. The past decade has been a journey of self-discovery for Zahra. \nShe paints to show the world through her lenses; her likes and dislikes. There are times \nwhen life is celebrated\, and at times she shows life’s dark side with a hint of color. \n“I write with my brush\, each stroke has a story\, and every color represents an emotion. \nThe layers are the chapters\, and I invite you to join me in unfolding my book to read it \ntogether. I used to believe I was not a writer\, only a painter. Recently I had an epiphany \nthat I am both. I write through my paintings. Each painting brings to life a story that has \ntouched me\, made me think\, and I feel needs to be shared with the world.” – Zahra Ali \n  \nFree RSVP: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/i-am-a-writer-solo-exhibition-by-zahra-ali-tickets-483254295607 \n

SUMMARY:Art Exhibition: Manifesting: An Analytical Approach to Data Visualization and Story-telling by Lee Carrier
DESCRIPTION:RSVP \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/manifesting-an-analytical-approach-to-data-visualization-and-story-telling-tickets-326670980697 \nMuch like manifestation\, visualization is the practice of imagining what you want to achieve in the future. As if it were true today. The process of visualizing directs your subconscious to be aware of the end goal you have in mind. While the work in this exhibition align to artist\, Lee Carrier’s mixed media style\, the new series includes influences from the data science field.  \nCoupled with the pursuit of doctoral research\, Carrier uses her quantitative analysis to illustrate the impact of fine arts programs on the social-emotional and academic development of students. Additionally\, the body of work draws inspiration from social scientist and African-American rights activist\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, who took on the complex task of gathering and manually visualizing the lives of Black Americans through 58 visualizations displayed at the award-winning\, “American Negro” exhibition in the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris.  \nRepresenting more than just numbers\, there is a story\, pattern\, and conclusion behind every data. The artwork series\, “Manifesting” takes a collaborative approach to story-telling and visualization to effectively communicate correlations from datasets relative to complex issues within education. The focus of this body of work provides compelling narratives and visualizations to make disaggregated data feel alive\, meaningful and relevant in order to manifest action from target audiences.

SUMMARY:In Color: Art Exhibition (Location: Mont Art House)
DESCRIPTION:Show Statement: “IN COLOR” \nThe invention of color television was a monumental innovation. Instead of only seeing in black and white\, viewers were given the opportunity to visually interact with the full spectrum of color\, making the viewing experience infinitely more dynamic\, nuanced\, and filled with creative possibility. While our eyes have access to the full color spectrum\, oftentimes our minds are still stuck in the binary of black and white. Without erasing the power\, emotion\, and contrast of black and white\, this exhibition is an invitation to appreciate the depth that is found when we embrace the full spectrum of color. As you engage the work\, we hope that it moves you beyond the binaries we so often embrace and into the nuance and depth that is waiting to be appreciated in each of us. \nArtist Statement: JASON DEMEO\nJason DeMeo is a contemporary artist working out of Central Florida creating art that instigates transformation & connection. The work reflects his belief that matter is miraculous. Jason’s greatest intention with his creativity is to manifest a world of artifacts\, environments\, and friendships that celebrate beauty\, universal truth\, and goodness. \nOf Italian heritage and originally from Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, Jason has always appreciated the beauty\, serendipity\, and surprise that comes with nature and its natural processes. Nature finds a way to create beauty out of the most mundane things…rusted bridges\, faded shipping containers\, decaying walls…not to mention the unlimited ways that it effortlessly produces art through the use of light\, energy\, and matter. These unexpected moments of beauty serve as source material for Jason’s work. \nHe is exploring a concept that he has coined Synthesism™. It stems from the definition of the word synthesis: “the combining of often diverse elements into a coherent whole.” You can see this theme of blending\, combining\, and remixing happening in many disciplines today\, especially music\, architecture\, and even culture as we grow as a global community. Modernism constructs\, Postmodernism deconstructs\, Synthesism combines. Movements like Bauhaus and Black Mountain College have been instrumental in his thinking. \nWith a deep belief in the power of art to bring transformation to both spaces and people\, he hopes that each one of his works serves as a meditation for the viewer\, drawing them into the story and meaning of the piece\, while simultaneously inviting them to create their own. \nArtist Statement: WAYNE BELL \nWhen describing his body of work\, Wayne Bell calls the movement “Atmostpherism” because it defines what can be made from time and space; how things can be shifted\, molded\, and synchronized into climates unto themselves. Bell is a visual artist known for abstract expressionism with oil paint and unique knife-cut brushstrokes on canvas. His forms compel the viewer to recognize patterns within themselves\, lending perspective with the saturation of color and light. The striations generated from the brushstrokes create gradients of hues. \nBell considers color the most important element in his work and utilizes oil because it\, like the human condition\, is alive\, organic\, and forgiving. \nAfter growing up in Chicago\, Bell spent his teenage years in Texas before attending Morehouse College. There\, he earned a BA in Psychology and delved into other subjects like anatomy\, physiology\, and medical science. He spent the next ten years in Los Angeles honing his craft as a multi-faceted creative. Though never classically trained as a visual artist\, Wayne has always obeyed the urge to create; from his early days building with Legos\, to his current brush technique that now defines his practice. Bell now resides in Houston. \nWe die daily – Wayne Bell Jr.
