Desires, Fascinations, Temptations & Guilty Pleasures
EXHIBITING THROUGH MARCH 31, 2022
Seductions is a group exhibition at Glade Gallery, featuring prominent local artists from the Houston region as well as far away. This exhibit is a twist on the traditional romantic mindset that comes along with the Valentine's Day holiday.
In today's society and recent events forcing us to spend more time isolated, our awareness is brought to our relationships with ourselves as well as with significant others. This trend makes us question what seduces us? Art of course, says Glade Gallery's Curator, Annette Palmer.
ANNETTE PALMER
Glade Gallery Curator, Annette Palmer, is also an exhibitor for the show with several pieces on display. These three abstract pieces titled, "The Warm Room", "Nightingale", and "I'm Worth It" were painted in 2010, are much different than any of the other works she has previously displayed at Glade. Scottish-born and now a resident of The Woodlands, Annette has two other pieces on display at this exhibit. The unique figurative pieces were painted in 2012 using a cigar box as her canvas.
Insider Tip: Since Annette is also the Curator at Glade she is there often, plan ahead and call the gallery to see if you can meet her to talk about each of her pieces and receive details about the other artists during your visit.
FROYLAN OJEDA
Also included in the Seductions exhibit are limited edition serigraphs by artist Froylan Ojeda. A Mexican post-war and contemporary painter, Ojeda was born in Veracruz in 1932 and died in 1991. Many of the featured serigraphs are signed and numbered. This and other limited edition prints are a part of The Glade Collection.
Insider Tip: The Glade Collection is a collection of limited edition prints and originals now owned by Glade Gallery. They were purchased from a prominent Houston art collector and many of the pieces have not been shown in a gallery setting for years, if ever.
ASHKAN ROAYAEE
Houston-based photographer, Ashkan Roayaee, originally from Tehran, Iran, Roayaee is widely known for his photography skills and primarily featuring professional ballet dancers. As a collaboration with the Houston Ballet, Roayaee has photographed many of its dancers. Several of the other prints exhibited at Glade are a balance between Ashkan's photography business and his heritage featuring Farsi calligraphy by artist Nasim Harandi. Butterflies, a print pictured above, features ethically-sourced butterflies which have been preserved by Bug in a Box, another popular Houston-based artist, which surrounds Yuriko Kajiya, the Houston Ballet's Principal dancer.
