March 28-April 25, 2026
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 28, 2026 (6–8 PM) – Featuring live music by Bill Martin
Paint NTX is an exhibition that highlights the work of thirty-two painters from throughout the North Texas region, plus two guest artists from other regions of Texas. Together, these artists reflect the richness and range of contemporary painting practices, offering a compelling snapshot of how this time-honored medium continues to evolve through distinct voices and individual visions.
The exhibition’s central aim is to showcase the diversity, power, and vitality of artists who use painting as a means of expression. Paint NTX emphasizes the expressiveness and multifaceted explorations of paint, as well as the medium’s enduring ability to communicate complex ideas, emotions, and narratives across time and culture.
Many of the artworks on view are largely narrative and representational, presenting stories rooted in lived experience, memory, and imagination. The show will also present a few examples of abstraction and non-figurative art, where form, color, and gesture operate as eloquent communicators of meaning and story without reliance on literal depiction. This dialogue between representation and abstraction underscores the flexibility and depth of painting as an artistic language.
At a moment marked by the rapid digitalization of art, the rise of artificial intelligence, and an increasing preference for screen-based imagery, Paint NTX reflects on and celebrates traditional painting as a still-powerful conveyor of meaningful messages. The exhibition affirms painting’s continued relevance and its capacity to engage viewers through material presence, intentionality, and the unmistakable touch of the human hand.
The artists featured in Paint NTX are Penelope Bisbee, Carlos Blanco Cortés, Victoria Brill, Carter Cordes, Ron Crouch, Steven Danner, Victor Ferretiz, Jacque Forsher, Victoria Gonzáles, Jim Hastings, Genaro Hernández, Duke Horn, Laurie Huff, Jeff Hukill, Kasey Jones-Parker, Andrea Lamarsaude, Sarah Landreau, Ivette Levy, J. Salvador López, Rómulo Martínez, Jessica Mata, Angel Moreno, Julio Antonio Oseguera Jiménez, Karina Ramirez, Reyna Ramirez, Reyes (Noin) Rivera, Anastacia Sadeh, Anna Schölch, Raúl Servín, Chip VanPelt, Jessica Vollrath, and Kyle Wood.
The exhibition was curated by Enrique Fernández Cervantes.
