The Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth Presents
FOCUS: Katherine Bernhardt
April 8-July 9, 2017
The FOCUS series is organized by the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth for the Director’s Council, a group that supports acquisitions at the Museum. The series features three solo exhibitions annually, organized by Assistant Curator Alison Hearst. FOCUS exhibitions are open to the public and are included in general museum admission: $10 for adults; $4 for seniors (60+) and students with identification; free for children 12 and under; free for Modern members.
In Katherine Bernhardt’s recent “pattern” paintings, various objects from everyday life repeat within a single composition. The combinations are often humorous, such as in the frankly titled Windex cigarettes basketball, 2016, where the three items repeat and float flatly atop a solid ground of cobalt blue. Emojis, Aquafresh toothpaste, cigarettes, Duracell batteries, and Sharpies are among the subjects Bernhardt paints using simplified, gestural forms. Drawn to these objects for their visual qualities more than for their thematic connections to one another, Bernhardt’s compositions, or “patterns,” are primarily driven by her interest in color and form.
Bernhardt combines opposing styles and methods within any given canvas. For example, her backgrounds are abstract, thin pools of acrylic paint, while her figurative foregrounds are executed with spray paint, forming sketchy, drippy silhouettes. By combining lush washes of color with spray-painted illustrations, her works have diverse passages that simultaneously resemble color field painting and graffiti.
West African, Moroccan, and Caribbean textiles are strong influences, as Bernhardt states: “My interest is in Dutch wax printing on African fabrics, so that’s what I’ve been influenced by. They have all these funny combinations of things that wouldn’t necessarily go together — sunglasses and birds, or whatever it might be.” Her paintings are also inspired by travel; in the large-scale Untitled, 2017, included in the exhibition, brightly hued pink and black toucans, bunches of yellow bananas, and neon pink papayas suggest a tropical scene and are subjects the artist introduced after visiting Puerto Rico. The birds and fruits are set against a swirling neon green, orange, and brown field and are surrounded by Doritos and cigarettes, another example of Bernhardt’s intermingling of incongruent items in a manner similar to the textiles that inspire her.
Bernhardt’s paintings also echo the hand-painted signs at bodegas and markets across the globe, which advertise everything from fresh produce to laundry detergent. Her works reflect on the images and goods we are surrounded by on a daily basis. The artist’s FOCUS exhibition at the Modern will feature eleven new paintings and a series of works on paper, each relating to her exploration of pattern and shape, which is rooted in ordinary subject matter but invigorated by Bernhardt’s cartoonish style and bold use of color. This is her first solo exhibition in Texas and her second museum exhibition to date.
Katherine Bernhardt was born in Saint Louis and currently lives in New York. She received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She has exhibited widely across the globe, including recent solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Museum, Saint Louis; Carl Freedman Gallery, London; Venus over Manhattan, New York; CANADA, New York; Roberto Paradise, San Juan, Puerto Rico; and Gallery Loyal, Stockholm. Bernhardt has participated in many group shows at such venues as the Atlanta Contemporary; Kunstforeningen GL Strand, Copenhagen; Saatchi Gallery, London; Foundation Salomon, Annecy, France; Macro Future, Rome; and the Extra City Kunsthal, Antwerp.

Samuel Lynne Galleries is pleased to invite you to the opening reception for photographer Tyler Shields’ exhibition “Provocateur” on January 7, 2017 from 5-8pm. Shields will be in attendance at the opening reception, which will also serve as a launch for his latest book Provocateur. The exhibition will be on view until February 11, 2017.
Tyler Shields is known for his unique brand of volatile and off-handed celebrity photography and has come to be recognized as “Hollywood’s Favorite Photographer.” The meaning behind his work goes so much deeper than the famous faces and materials inhabiting it. Often using dark and controversial subject matter, his photography challenges convention, forcing the viewer to contemplate the true nature of human existence.

EVENT: Creative Arts Center Honors Founder Octavio Medellín with the Debut of Driving Tour & Map
WHEN: Sunday, October 9 from 3 to 5pm during Hispanic Heritage Month
WHERE: City Performance Hall, 2520 Flora, Dallas Arts District
EVENT: Celebrating its 50th anniversary,the Creative Arts Center of Dallas (CAC) is hosting its culminating event honoring its founder, Octavio Medellín, with the debut of the Octavio Medellín Driving Tour & Map printed in English and Spanish. The map features locations of Medellin’s significant public and institutional work that can be found throughout North Texas, including the City Performance Hall, Love Field, the Dallas Museum of Art, The Joule Hotel, the Meadows Museum of Art and other locations. In addition to the debut of the fun cartoon map, the event will feature key speakers including elected officials, representatives from the Office of Cultural Affairs and Southern Methodist University where Medellín’s archives are maintained.
There will also be an exhibition of key work from Medellín at the City Performance Hall on view through December 1presented by the Dallas Adopt-A-Monument Fund of The Dallas Foundation. Entertainment during the event includes a brief play commissioned presented by Teatro Flor Candela, focusing on a mock conversation between Frida Kahlo and Medellín who were both born in 1907; the W.E. Greiner Exploratory Arts Academy Student Mariachi Band; dancers from Alegre Ballet Folklórico and drop-in art activities presented by CAC’s Art as a Second Language program. The event is free and open to the public.
FUNDERS/SPONSORS: Media sponsors for the event are The Dallas Morning News/Al Dia, Univision and Arts & Culture Magazine with additional support from the City of Dallas’ Office of Cultural Affairs, City Performance Hall, Latino Cultural Center and Humanities Texas. Additional sponsors for the event are Ben E. Keith Co.; Center for the Advancement & Study of Early Texas Art (CASETA); Dallas Arts District; Dallas Downtown, Inc.; Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co; Gensler; Hall Group; Thompson & Knight LLP and Trinity Ceramics Supply Co.
The 50th anniversary year began at the Latino Cultural Center with the retrospective The Legacy of Octavio Medellín: His Life & Influence followed by CAC’s signature fundraiser, the Blue Plate Special in April. Honorary Co-Chairs for CAC’s 50th anniversary are Patricia B. Meadows and Gail Sachson with Todd C. Hedrick serving as the event chair.
About CAC: CAC is now located on a two-acre campus off of Ferguson Road in White Rock Hills, four miles east of downtown Dallas. Last year, more than 1,500 students took more than 500 classes and workshops at CAC. As a nonprofit community arts organization and school of visual arts geared to working artists and adult students of all skill levels, CAC is an incubator for emerging artists.
About Octavio Medellin: Octavio Medellín’s life and art embody the powerful narrative comprised of countless lives that have emigrated from Mexico to the United States and transcended the cultural boundaries of each to forge a new Mexican American identity or a life that Medellín described himself as “American of Mexican heritage.” Just as his life traces the path to embracing a new national identity while paying tribute to one’s ethnic and cultural origins, his opus is a reflection of the synthesis of different artistic traditions to develop a new and distinct form of creative power. Medellín’s life and career bookend the 20th century, a period when artistic expression through a multitude of channels including Modernism, American Regionalism and Social Realism became “modern art,” and when American society witnessed large-scale migration from Mexico beginning with the bloody Mexican Revolution in 1910 and continuing with waves of post-NAFTA immigration in the 1990’s. Medellín was a prolific and successful artist with work exhibited throughout Texas and the nation, including New York’s 1939 World’s Fair and the MoMA. In addition to creating art, Medellín spent decades sharing his talents as a teacher at the DMA; Southern Methodist University; North Texas College, now UNT; and his own Medellín School of Sculpture, now CAC. Medellín passed away in Dallas in 1999, yet his art and legacy are very much alive.

OKCMOA will be the exclusive North American venue for Matisse in His Time: Masterworks of Modernism from the Centre Pompidou, Paris, which presents, for the first time outside Europe, highlights from one of the world’s preeminent collections of Modern Art.
Henri Matisse (1869-1954) dominated the art world during the first half of the twentieth century. A prolific, curious, and social artist, he was at the heart of artistic debates throughout his career. In turn, Matisse was the leader of the Fauve movement, a critical observer of Cubism, disciple and friend of Impressionist painters like Pierre-Auguste Renoir, master of an academy, and a major rival to Pablo Picasso. He fundamentally altered the course of Modern Art and deeply affected the work of younger generations.
Matisse in His Time: Masterworks of Modernism from the Centre Pompidou, Paris, is organized by the Centre Pompidou—Europe’s leading museum of Modern and Contemporary Art—in collaboration with the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. Visitors to the exhibition will experience the full scope of Matisse’s extraordinary career through nearly fifty of his paintings, sculptures, drawings, and prints, dating from the late nineteenth century to after World War II. In addition to these masterpieces, Matisse in His Time also features fifty additional major works by many of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century, including iconic works by Picasso, as well as Renoir, André Derain, Georges Braque, Joan Miró, and Amedeo Modigliani.

Chirality: Defiant Mirror Images
Curated by Charissa N. Terranova
October 24-December 12, 2015
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 24, 6-9pm
Panel discussion with artists and curator –
Thursday, October 29, 7 pm
113 N. Haskell Ave.
Dallas, TX 75226
(214) 824-7108 phone
Gallery hours: Saturdays / 1-4pm (except Nov. 28) and by appointment.
Artists – Ellen Levy, Jeff Gibbons, Luke Harnden, Trent Straughan, Alan and Michael Fleming, and Steve Oscherwitz.
Art meets science in Chirality: Defiant Mirror Images. This exhibition plays out the unique agency of chiral forms – their asymmetrical symmetry, how they look alike and act differently, and their ability to spin light out into space (or optical activity) – when introduced to the realm of art. Invoking “agency” in terms of the dynamics of chiral form, the exhibition sets in relief new models of form-making, individuation, and social action.

Samuel Lynne Galleries is pleased to announce the opening reception for artist Bernie Taupin’s exhibition Anarchaeology (an-ahr-kee-ol-uh-jee), curated by Karen & Michael Bivins, on September 12, 2015 from 5 – 8 pm. Artist will be in attendance at the opening reception, and the exhibition will be on view through October 23, 2015. For a digital catalogue of Bernie Taupin’s oeuvre, please use this link: http://issuu.com/slg2008/docs/bernie_taupin_issuu_catalogue_
Largely recognized for his longtime songwriting partnership with Elton John, Bernie Taupin continues to delight and surprise even those who think they know him best. In addition to lyricist, musician, producer, author, and award winner, Bernie Taupin is also a serious visual artist. He describes this creative avenue as, “simply the visual extension of what I have spent my life creating through words”.
Anarchaeology (an-ahr-kee-ol-uh-jee) comments on the ability of governments to cause chaos, create and perpetuate poverty and misery, and ultimately destroy civilizations. With titles like Agitate, Disambiguation, Lear In Madness, and Explore Noise, the paintings in this exhibition ignite intense emotion in viewers. The severely contrasting light and dark colors, fragmented edges, and torn middles of these paintings reflect the disturbance and pain of their subjects. There is harmony but it is somewhat harrowing. Viewers are able to draw similarities to the powerfully emotional artworks of Anselm Kiefer, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, and Clyfford Still – artists who Bernie Taupin has found a particular kinship with.
Bernie Taupin’s paintings often hover gracefully around the canons of both the Abstract Expressionist and Pop Art movements. His paintings are proof that abstraction can contain emotion, that nothing is off limits, and that painting has the power to be simultaneously violent and lovely. His stunning canvases are composed of abstract shapes, tantalizing color, and cryptic social commentary, captured in multimedia form. A man of limitless creativity, Bernie Taupin uses his alchemical skills to explore the visceral relationships between color and texture through his wide array of media; he often uses acrylic and oil paint, but stretches the standards of conventional media to include wood stains, spray paint, cheesecloth, wax, glass, bubble wrap, metal, and paper. His paintings become a product of his own kind of contained chance, as he controls and manipulates the dripping paint, in a way that almost can’t be contained by the canvas. The canvases in his body of work have been sewn, shellacked, smothered, and splattered upon using his arsenal of studio tools and weaponry.
Bernie Taupin’s artwork has been exhibited nationally from New York to Los Angeles, and his work can also be found in numerous significant private collections throughout the United States. Taupin’s newest exhibition, Anarchaeology (an-ahr-kee-ol-uh-jee) represents yet another evolution of his creative vision.
