"Hi-Speed Channel Surfing" presents new work by Houston-based artist Deangelo McMahon Jr. Through still images that emulate classic television, this exhibition explores mass media, shared memory, and censorship.

In the featured paintings, McMahon creates visual white noise with gestures such as cross-hatching and pointillism. These artworks carefully attend to color and scale, bordering trompe-l’œil. In the words of McMahon, this exhibition reflects “the ever-increasing role of technology in present-day life, and seeks to remind the viewer of one’s own humanity amidst it all.”

The exhibition will remain on display through April 6.
