Moody Gallery hosts a new exhibition of drawings and sculpture by Pat Colville. This marks her fifth exhibition at Moody Gallery and the first in which sculpture is featured. Colville began working with ceramics two years ago and has since then completed a series of 11 wall-dependent sculptures. The ceramic sculptures will be installed alongside a new series of eight drawings in acrylic. These works are a response to the devastating Texas drought of 2011.
Colville's work holds a commitment to abstraction and is influenced by the history of Chinese and Japanese landscapes from the 13th and 14th century. Colville was awarded a 2010 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and the Benjamin Altman Award in Painting in 2008. Her work was part of the exhibition Working in the Abstract, curated by Patrick Palmer at the Glassell School of Art in 2011 as well as The Modernist Thread, curated by Sally Sprout at Williams Tower Gallery. Her work is part of the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Dallas Museum of Art and Art Museum of Southeast Texas.
On view through March 22.
