Painting in the Texas Tradition From March 6-12, 2014, Oak Cliff’s Turner House again plays host to Houstonbased William Reaves Fine Art, one of the state’s premier Texas art dealers, with a highly-anticipated encore exhibition entitled Painting in the Texas Tradition. Celebrating the virtues of contemporary works rooted in traditional Lone Star style, the exhibition features the gallery’s distinguished group of Contemporary Texas Regionalists, bringing this talented and accomplished ensemble of working artists to Dallas and the historic Turner House venue. With 16 artists from all over the state, the gallery’s stable of Contemporary Texas Regionalists is loaded with talent. This rapidly ascending group of professional painters was the subject of a major exhibition at the San Angelo Museum of Art this past year and the group recently had a successful holiday show and sale at Midland’s Haley Memorial Library. The Contemporary Texas Regionalists include: Randy Bacon (Albany), Mary Baxter (Marfa), Margie Crisp (Elgin), Keith Davis (Austin), Jon Flaming (Richardson), Pat Gabriel (Fort Worth), Robert Harrison (San Antonio), Lee Jamison (Huntsville), Rob Kendrick (Austin), Laura Lewis (Mason), William Montgomery (Elgin), Noe Perez (Corpus Christi), Jeri Salter (Round Rock), Debbie Stevens (Cypress), Bob Stuth-Wade (Dublin), and William Young (Palestine). Gallery owner William Reaves and Director Sarah Foltz are bullish on the artists and their work, noting that, “Dallas area viewers who understand and appreciate classic Texas paintings are in for a visual treat. The artists in this show are among the rising stars on the Texas art scene. They are producing exceptional paintings that are wonderfully diverse in style and subject, yet maintain a definite Texas flair. They are capturing the attention of art critics, collectors and curators throughout the state.” As examples of the group’s accomplishments, Reaves and Foltz highlighted painter/print-maker, Margie Crisp, who was the featured artist at last year’s Texas Book Festival in Austin (and whose book on the Colorado River was a major award winner in Texas literary circles); and wildlife artist Debbie Stevens, whose paintings of Texas cranes and shorebirds were selected for this past year’s National Birds in Art Traveling Exhibition. They cited Southwest Art’s recent article on Albany artist, Randy Bacon, and referenced photographer Robb Kendrick’s credits with National Geographic Magazine. Reaves lauded
Mason artist Laura Lewis for her recent selection as the artist to develop the major mural which will be central to Chevron’s new Midland campus; and he pointed out self-taught Austin artist, Keith Davis, whose unique, whimsical Texas paintings and sculpture will be featured in an upcoming episode of Texas Country Reporter. Reaves and Foltz noted, “We are excited about this show and pleased to return to the Turner House venue. We hope that Dallas art aficionados from the entire area can attend any or all of the events planned during our visit. It promises to be pleasing and entertaining art exhibition, containing one grand painting after another!” Viewing for Painting in the Texas Tradition runs daily at Turner House from 10am – 6pm, Thursday-Saturday, March 6-8, and by appointment MondayWednesday, March 10-12. As a part of the Turner House’s Salon Series, William Reaves will offer an exhibition overview at 7:30pm on Thursday, March 6. This engaging discussion will trace the progressive evolution of Texas art from the latter half of the twentieth century through the present , looking to the influence on Contemporary Texas Regionalist artists’ by Texas Regionalists of the past century, and showing how these artists are still employing local subject matter to evoke universal chords. Tickets are available by contacting Turner House. In addition, the gallery hosts a public reception on Friday, March 7 from 5:30-8:30 pm with many of the artists present, followed by a guided exhibition tour with the gallery owner and several of the artists on Saturday, March 8 at 1:30pm.
