Ian Ingram presents new paintings and his first three-dimensional works in an exhibition at Dimension Gallery in Austin, Texas.
The more Ian Ingram explores the intimacy of the self-portrait the more he finds within and beyond the self. A jungle wasp made its way into his Mexican studio in a converted shipping container. The fearless artist “battled the wasp and emerged victorious,” he boasts. “I picked up its body and saw that it was a magical jewel of black iridescence and had the same patterns I had found on my own skin. He was a brother.” The encounter inspired his painting Minotaur—half man, half beast.
Minotaur will be in the exhibition Five Skin Ten Skin at Dimension Gallery in Austin, Texas, November 15 through January 5. The exhibition presents his emergence from two-dimensional work into three-dimensional. He and his wife, Jeri Lynn, and their two children lived among the Huichol people in Sayulita, Mexico, for two years. “Their culture has a remarkable boundarylessness,” Ingram observes. “They call people ‘brother’ and ‘sister.’ They worship peyote as a deity. We put people in jail for that.” The Huichol may be our last connections to pre-Columbian cultural traditions.

Next Exit New York
Coming off his series that focused on San Francisco and Los Angeles freeway signs, artist Eric Nash’s sights are now set on New York. Now on view at George Billis Gallery's Manhattan location are seven of Nash's new oil paintings and two drawings that explore the signage of New York City freeways. Although Nash's work is tightly rendered, he doesn’t consider himself a photorealist, but rather someone who utilizes those techniques to express ideas.
Monster Mash
Vampires, witches, ghouls and all things that go bump in the night are the theme of the exhibition Monster Mash, now at Abend Gallery.

Bold Figures; Bold Color
For Brooklyn based painter J Louis, it’s all about balance, which can mean many different things in a composition, but for Louis, it’s about balancing his female figures among a unique landscape of color.
