How do you define Victoria? What is the personality of the city? How do you describe Victoria to someone who has never been here? What cultural, political, or spiritual elements are at the core of your community? As the city grows and diversifies, how is the identity of Victoria evolving? This exhibit will focus on work that addresses these questions and how they apply to the people, traditions and environment in and around the Crossroads area.

“Archetype: Unknown” Solo show at Bisong Gallery
2018-09-08 16:00 - 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Bisong Gallery, 1305 Sterrett St., Houston, TX, 77002, United States
What is your personality other than a collection of experience?
Some say nothing is left when you take away all memories that shape self-identity.
As time goes on, more characteristics once thought to be simply “human” have been revealed to exist throughout the animal kingdom.
Vincent Fink sets out to explore the intersection of human and animal tendencies, while making commentary on the fluidity of identity. As we study how emotions turn into habits, habits into behavior, and behavior into personality, we find the “person” in this word is not distinct from many other living creatures, especially other mammals. Using acrylic and oil on canvas and panel, he continues his Sacred Geometry inspired series of Iterations paintings in this mini-series of archetypes through a neo-surreal lens.
Opening reception 4pm – 8pm on Saturday, September 8th.
On view by appointment until October 6, 2018.
