Curator Statement:
Narratives at Play features new and recent artworks by three Texas-based artists: Vincent Fink, Stephanie Gonzalez, and Calvin Pressley. Through surrealist imagery and abstraction, there is a sense of human nature and our connection to the natural and subconscious world pervading through each of the artists’ works. Whether it be through an intuitive process or mathematical planning, there is an essence of play and exploration inviting viewers to re-interpret the works with their own sense of curiosity.

Artist Statements:
Vincent Fink
I intend to share my thoughts, dreams, and nightmares to help elevate the human condition and understanding of oneself as part of the collective. My primary medium is subconsciousness on consciousness. The Atlas Metamorphosis is my manifesto and Iterations are my patterns for refining an ever-adapting interpretation of the world. My work is multidisciplinary and multidimensional as I expand from two-dimensional detailed perspective drawings of Atlas and Iterations of Sacred Geometry surrealism paintings into three- and four-dimensional installations that reveal an uncanny glimpse of our corporal reality using a vast array of light, sculptural and temporal media. In the name of art as exploration, I am not limited to any one medium. Rather, my work is conceptual. Building on consistent themes and concepts that question our place in history and reality. No matter what branch of my artistic studies, I consider myself a Surrealist. It is always my intent to interact with the viewer on a subconscious and metaphysical level, be it lucid, or in waking life.

Stephanie Gonzalez
I consider the act of creating my nature. An act of expression based on intuition. Growing up I felt a sense of disconnect from the world and the people around me. Visual art paved the way for me to express things that I could not express verbally. My work is a collection of personal experiences transcribed into layers of paint and mixed media, coded into whatever substrate I can find. Each piece can be considered a journal entry to my life experiences on this earth. I have always found a sense of place in nature and creating art. I believe nature and art are the same things.

Calvin Pressley
As an oil painter and drawer of mixed-media, I find myself continually inspired by the play of light and color on the surface of my canvases. Recently, I’ve turned my focus to exploring the intricate patterns and hues of various bird as a visual starting point. There’s something truly captivating about the way these creatures seem to shimmer and glow in the natural light. I’ve been exploring ways to capture that effect in my work. My birds often come from my world. Though I draw from the techniques and approaches of artists who’ve made a name for themselves since the growth of contemporary painting, my ultimate goal is to create pieces that are approachable, thought-provoking, and visually appealing. I love to see viewers who are drawn into their vivid colors and dynamic surfaces. With a Master’s degree from America’s oldest art school under my belt, I’m constantly experimenting with new techniques and approaches, pushing myself to create work that is both informed and intuitive.

More info at Southern Star Brewery.
Personal note:
I am extremely pleased to be participating again in this art show in memory of my late dear friend and fellow Houston artist, Michel Draper. His friendship meant so much to me and since his passing I always feel a part of me and the community is a little less without him. Michel loved to have a good time and that’s what we did best, so I will go drink plenty of the brews that he designed the 1st labels for at Southern Star and I hope you will join us. His can designs will forever live on to remind us of his artistic brilliance. I hope that this blog post also serves as a sort of memorial about him. There needs to be more content about his work on the internet. I hope to continue to add to this in the coming years.
Here’s one of his works from our art collection:

Arts Goggle - 20th Year!
2023-10-21 12:00 - 22:00 | Near Southside, Fort Worth, United States
Fort Worth’s Largest Festival of Local Art!
Saturday, October 21, 2023 from 12-10pm
FREE COMMUNITY EVENT

1,000+ ARTISTS | 30 BANDS | FOOD & DRINK
Celebrating 20 Years as the Near Southside’s Premier Arts Event
_________________
INFO www.artsgoggle.org
_________________

ArtsGoggle presented by @Trinity Metro is Fort Worth’s premier festival of local arts. This free to the public, family-friendly event annually hosts more than 1,000 visual artists, 50 musical performances, artistic displays of every kind, food, drink, and fun for everyone. Unlike any event in Fort Worth, it exclusively focuses on highlighting the work of local artists, musicians, and performers of all mediums and experience levels. ArtsGoggle attracts a crowd of 60,000+ patrons that are as diverse as the Near Southside neighborhood where the event is hosted. Visitors are invited to park their cars and rediscover this revitalized urban neighborhood by foot or by bicycle, including Fort Worth Bike Sharing bikes.
ArtsGoggle started 20 years ago as the Near Southside’s own indoor gallery night designed to showcase the district’s revitalization efforts underway via newly-established business hosting one-day open houses in partnership with local artists. The event remained almost exclusively indoors for the first decade before spilling out onto the street. Today, visitors are invited to stroll artist’s booths on Magnolia Avenue that stretch more than a mile in length and adjacent businesses, new and old, tout ArtsGoggle as their best day of sales each year.
ArtsGoggle prides itself in providing a casual, approachable and vibrant environment to appreciate art and learn about the talents within our own community. For almost two decades, this non-juried art festival has been the launch pad for many artists showing their work for the first time. ArtsGoggle provides a supportive setting for both aspiring and professional artists with new collections to display, sell and seek comment on their artwork.
Accompanying the visual artists, the entertainment at ArtsGoggle heavily features local musicians and offers performances from a variety of genres. In addition, the event partners with arts organizations across Fort Worth to draw attention to their programs.

LOCATION
Outdoors: Centered along Magnolia Avenue from 8th Avenue to S. Main Street, 21 blocks, one mile stretch. A feast of art!
Indoors: At participating Near Southside venues such as restaurants, bars, offices, and retailers who are hosting artists, live music, and other entertainment in celebration of ArtsGoggle!

COST
Free to the public

MASS: Small works - Modern Eden - San Francisco
2023-11-11 18:00 - 23:00 | Modern Eden Gallery, 1100 Sutter St., San Francisco, CA, 94109, United States
Exhibition Dates: November 11–December 1, 2023
Opening Reception: Saturday November 11, 6-9 pm

In a world where size is often equated with significance, we challenge that notion, inviting artists to explore the paradox of creating small works that command a massive presence. MASS is about the profound power and impact that can be conveyed in a few square inches, and the way an art piece, no matter how small, can fill a room with its essence. We call on artists to tap into their ability to evoke grand ideas and prove that art’s influence isn’t bound by its physical size, but by the magnitude of its spirit.
Featuring: Alexis Trice, Allison Bamcat, Amy Guidry, Angelique Benicio, Aunia Kahn, Bob Doucette, Caroline Gaudreault, Catherine Moore, Daniel Segrove, Daryll Peirce, Deirdre Sullivan-Beeman, E.E. Kono, Gabriela Sincich, Genevive Zacconi, Heidi Taillefer, Henry Schreiber, Jeannie L.

This group exhibition will run in conjunction with a solo exhibition by Spanish painter Olga Esther.

Modern Eden Gallery is proud to present our 12th annual portrait exhibition, Myth. In the tradition of the show, we once again opened up for submissions from our extended community of artists and are excited to present the works of 25 new artists in addition to our regularly exhibited artists.
We will present imaginative portrait paintings that depict one of the gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, beasts, or benevolent beings of global mythology. These archetypes have long been creative food for artists throughout history, and by bringing their narratives into to form of portraiture a deeper connection to the mythological being can be understood.
