As an artist and teacher, Jack Boynton has had a
long and profound influence on the local art scene.
Arriving in Houston over fifty years ago from his native
Fort Worth, Boynton was catapulted immediately
into a distinguished and accomplished career, firmly
establishing himself as one of the state’s leading
modernists. His edgy, intellectual style of abstraction
has captivated Houstonians for years, and earned
him high acclaim at the national level. His works are
included in the permanent collections of America’s
foremost art museums, and as this show conveys, he’s
still going strong! This exhibition provides Houstonians
a rare opportunity to examine the creative progressions
of this gifted local artist over a period of six decades,
presenting examples of Boynton’s work from midcentury
to present.
