Monday Moments - Irving Art Center Variety

Took a quick ride over  to the  Irving Arts Center on Friday afternoon.   Several new little  exhibits. "Rooted  Visions" featured works by over 25 Southern  Black artists - most born in poverty, never trained, just producing their  lives.  Resilience, storytelling, and powerful folk art. 

This is Moved  by the Word (2001) Ransom "Rocky" McCormick.   Obviously spent some  time in church.  Do  I hear an "Amen"?

It Cost to Hate by Ruby Williams.   Simple and striking. 

In the Dupree Lobby Gallery - photos by Bill Thompson.   This one is Threshold 

In De Profundis: Echoes From the Deep, Giselle Castro-Brightenburg captures the beauty of the natural world and explores complexities of the human  experience. 

Mesmerizing  colors

Altogether, a forty minutes art stroll.  Relax and expand  the mind and the heart.  

Have a good week.
