Other than that notable happening, here’s some other stuff going down.
Friday, December 7, 6 pm: Michael Arcieri opening at Avis Frank Gallery
- From Avis Frank Gallery “Following the end of the Second World War, cold war anxieties were masked by endless printed images of a picture-perfect domestic environment embracing the new atomic age. These paintings explore the cold war culture and examine the idea of a bright new future contrasted with the reality of a “doomsday” threat that remains relevant even today. Michael Arcieri is one of the best figurative oil painters Houston has seen. His painstaking approach to producing representative art combines the seen world and the world expressed through contemporary media.”
- Michael is, indeed, a talented artist and a neighbor of mine in the Heights. His show will be very worth while.
- 1606 White Oak, formerly King Biscuit
