Sunday Afternoon At Redbud Gallery

Moe Profane Nihilism and Nanner Puddin
June 7-June 29, 2014
Redbud Gallery
303 E. 11th Street Houston, TX 77008

Gallery Hours Wed-Sun 12-5pm

I wish I'd found this exhibit sooner. Thanks to KM for pointing me in the right direction. As it is, I'm letting you know about it just a week before it closes, but you may still have time to swing by.

This is a small, well-curated display of pop-meets-vintage-meets-humor that doesn't feel overworked. I have a particular hangup about these genres. They often come across as kitsch to me. These pieces don't. Neither did they feel haphazard.

After viewing the Moe Profane exhibit, we took in the collection in the room directly behind the front gallery. There was quite a collection of painting, lithographs, and sculptures to browse.  Several strong pieces: a Miro lithograph, a Jasper Johns, some African tribal work.  I found it masculine, expensive, and interesting.



We also stepped right next door to:

G Gallery
301 E. 11th Street Houston, TX 77008

There is an eclectic collection at G Gallery to be sure. Spend some time. Parking is a breeze. The great thing about the Heights is that time seems to pass so pleasantly and there is always a coffee shop around the corner. I'm looking forward to events at both of these galleries, now that I've found them.
