Summer Slang exudes "the feel" of the season with a group exhibition showcasing K Contemporary’s dynamic program with a vibrant array of works by talents like Anne von Freyburg, Mychaelyn Michalec, Daisy Patton, Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rios, Kevin Sloan, Francisco Souto, Nina Tichava, Matt Tripodi, Kaitlyn Tucek, Taylor Anton White, and Kristopher Wright alongside other gallery artists.

Their curated pieces encapsulate the essence of summer, inviting viewers into a world of sun-kissed skies and warm breezes through a palette of vivid hues, lively depictions, and a hint of wistful nostalgia. Anne von Freyburg’s textile painting "I Want Candy" evokes the tangy sweetness of pink lemonade, while Matt Tripody’s "No One Hurt" transports us back to childhood evenings spent enthralled by TV race nights. Taylor Anton White’s “Spritzer Bottle” and Francisco Souto's delicately wilting sunflowers reference the season’s soaring temperatures. 

Nature's embrace is another recurring theme, with Kaitlyn Tucek's dreamy coastal scenes, Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rios’ and Daisy Patton's verdant gardens, and Kevin Sloan's portrayal of a monumental heron in lush woodlands, paying homage to summertime beauty and tranquility.  

Note:

ART OF PAPER GROUP EXHIBITION

Laura Rathe Fine Art announces Art of Paper, an exciting group exhibition featuring new works from fifteen national and international contemporary artists, including Carly Allen Martin, Miriam Fitzgerald Juskova, Karen Hawkins, Zhuang Hong Yi, Gary Komarin, Anna Kruhelska, Robert Mars, Don Morris, Charles Patrick, Meredith Pardue, Javier Leon Perez, Kandis Susol, Nina Tichava, Cecil Touchon, and James Verbicky. LRFA will be hosting the opening reception on Saturday, June 24 from 4:30-7:30pm.

A common bond that holds the power to connect one to all, paper historically existed as a foundation of communication and creativity. Art of Paper brings together a group of artists that are focused on elevating the often-overlooked material. Whether gestural or structured, calculated or organic, each of the featured artists’ work highlights a veritable chameleon of media possibilities. These artists expand on the medium’s creative potential through sequenced architectural wall reliefs, encaustic sculptures, biomorphic patterns, repurposed ephemera, and rhythmic compositions. Paper, for all its fibrous strength, is capable of mesmerizing feats of elasticity.

 Art of Paper will be on display through August 19, 2023.

RECALLING LA ROMITA | Group Exhibition

Through July 22, 2023

FUCKING FLOWERS GROUP EXHIBITION

May 13 - June 10, 2023 • Opening reception May 13th, artist will be present.

Fucking Flowers takes the art historical trope of still-life genre painting to new extremes. Featuring a bouquet of 10+ artists including Elizabeth Alexander, Marc Dennis, Andrew Jensdotter, Daisy Patton, Nina Tichava, Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rios, and Francisco Souto, the exhibition spans materials and styles with an array of mixed media art that ranges from the representational to the conceptual. This brazen, fun, spring-with-an-edge show is the antidote to a burly winter.

For thousands of years, flowers have been potent symbols in the visual and literary arts carrying coded meanings.  Whether representing different gradations of love, purity, fecundity, spirituality, or decay, flowers show up at life’s most poignant occasions (births, weddings, deaths).  They infiltrate fashion and décor and can be noxious or curative, fragrant or carnivorous.  Inevitably, flowers begin by seducing us with their beauty.  Fucking Flowers aims to do the same – seducing viewers with astonishing aesthetics into having more nuanced conversations about the nature of beauty, metaphor, exoticism, social justice, and human behavior. 

DECADE at Laura Rathe Fine Art, Dallas

Tenth Anniversary group exhibition

Marking its tenth year in the Dallas Design District, Laura Rathe Fine Art is pleased to present DECADE, a group anniversary exhibition commemorating the gallery’s history and celebrating an exciting future ahead. The opening reception will take place on Saturday, February 18, from 4:30-7:30pm. 

Laura Rathe started her career working as a private art dealer before establishing Laura Rathe Fine Art (LRFA) in 1998 in Houston, Texas. In 2013, Rathe, with the help of Gallery Director, Janice Meyers, opened LRFA's second gallery in Dallas on Dragon Street, further expanding the institution's presence in Texas. Since then, LRFA Dallas has helped foster the city’s remarkable art community. As a woman-owned, women-run business, LRFA has continually built platforms for artists, watching them rise and push the bounds of the world of contemporary art. Rathe and her team’s unorthodox approach to creating conduits within the art world has supported her vision of enriching lives through art, cultivating personal relationships with each artist, client, and designer. 

DECADE honors this incredible journey in Dallas through a breadth of stylistic approaches and innovative media by notable artists from around the world such as James Verbicky, Audra Weaser, Gian Garofalo, Matt Devine, Stallman Studio, Zhuang Hong Yi, Hunt Slonem, Lucrecia Waggoner, Nina Tichava, Meredith Pardue, Carly Allen Martin and many more. This February, LRFA is also delighted to introduce Linling Lu, Marcos Anziani, Lynn Sanders, Ian Rayer-Smith and Kandis Susol to Dallas. 

Through this momentous exhibition, LRFA pays tribute to the past decade, which could not have been possible without the unyielding support of their patrons, the passion and drive from their staff, and of course, the immeasurable talent and unwavering commitment of their artists. 

DECADE will be on view through March 25, 2023.

“Mirage” with Nina Tichava and Marina Savashynskaya Dunbar at Laura Rathe Fine Art

Houston, TX. Laura Rathe Fine Art (LRFA) announces Mirage, a two-woman exhibition featuring new works by Marina Savashynskaya Dunbar and Nina Tichava. LRFA will be hosting the opening reception on Friday, November 18 from 5-8pm at our River Oaks District gallery (4444 Westheimer Rd). Nina Tichava will be in attendance. 

Mirage explores Marina Savashynskaya Dunbar and Nina Tichava’s individual artistic processes through a lens of reality vs. imagination. While both practices are distinct in their own right, each artist creates spatial compositions complex enough to leave the viewer questioning what is actually in front of them and what they believe they are seeing. Through gestural movements and seamless layering, the viewer is lost in the space between one line and the shadow of another as the paintings create a dreamlike escape from reality.

Inspired by nature, architecture, and textiles, artist Nina Tichava relies on  processes of layering and intricate patterning. While Tichava’s work is seemingly geometric, dominated by leitmotifs of circles across parallel and intersecting lines, upon closer inspection, each painting is rendered organic and delicate by the underlying texture. Her unique system of collaged dots punctuate the work with a three-dimensional quality, drawing the viewer even closer to appreciate every moment. 

Marina Savashynskaya Dunbar’s nature-based abstractions are composed through harmonious movement, material improvisation, and layers of translucent color. Using gravity to direct the flow of her materials such as paint and sand, she allows the element of chance to create an airiness in the work. Her surfaces seek the dichotomy of having reservation and the embrace of the unforeseen.

Mirage will be on display through December 10th.
