Los Angeles - Wilding Cran Gallery presents “...a pointy toe boot up the backside ”POST- ABSTRACTION FROM HOUSTON, a group exhibition curated by internationally acclaimed, Houston based artist Christian Eckart. The exhibition will feature new works by David Aylsworth, Sharon Engelstein, Tad Griffin, Geoff Hippenstiel, Paul Kremer, Joe Mancuso, Marcelyn McNeil, Aaron Parazette, Susie Rosmarin and Brooke Stroud. Eckart has curated this project with the intention of reinvigorating a nascent cultural dialogue between the Houston and Los Angeles contemporary art communities, highlighting some of Houston’s talents working in the progressive vernaculars of post-abstraction. By bringing a glimpse of Houston’s contemporary art community to Los Angeles’ attention, Eckart hopes to continue to cultivate a meaningful cultural reciprocity and exchange between two centers that share an analogous potential for expansion.
